when first we practise to deceive!"

"Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil."

“Some economists, when thinking about long memory, are concerned that it undercuts the Efficient Market Hypothesis that prices fully reflect all relevant information; that the random walk is the best metaphor to describe such markets; and that you cannot beat such an unpredictable market.
