The warren buffets and medallion funds of the world have much better information and resources that Joe Loser. EMH just says that all the publicly known information is priced in almost instantaneously... It doesn't say much about how that profit from those price changes are distributed. It also says nothing about non public information. Unfortunately you're competing with a bunch of motivated people who have access and analysis techniques that you simply do not have, and this data gets priced in by them exploiting their information and analysis to make trades which alter the price of the market to represent the true value.
In a very roundabout way, EMH says, people with access to information will perform arbitrage trades based on that information as soon as it is available. If you are not those people, you will just have to ride the rising market.
