>"ey goy. you cant beat the market. iz just not possible, so go back to letting me fuck you with the bank dildo okay and follow all I say."

Just saying. look at that tasty surname bruh.

>Rattner placed Shiller in one corner, claiming that the Yale University finance professor “argues that markets are often irrational and therefore beatable.” He placed Fama, of the University of Chicago, in the opposite corner, describing him as “the father of the view that markets are efficient,” whose “followers believe that investors who try to beat the averages will inevitably fail.”
this is called "Theory we apply in reality" vs "Theory we dont apply". Which do you think will win?

>ordinary investors with only widely available information cannot
>'exclusive' information

Investing isn't hard to do if you actually put effort in.
Trading is a bitch and is probably better reserved for the Hedge funds or the bond desk as GS, but the average non retard can read a balance sheet and follow sector trends.
