Maybe you didn't understand the second part of my statement, bounded by expectations.

Random walk and the efficient market thesis are the two single most misunderstood market concepts anywhere on the planet judging from the arguments I've seen posted in dispute of them.

yes, I think Malkiel goofed in that book. He was so terribly right on the US stock market back in the early 1980s, much less so in the 1990s, and just plain wrong in a lot of that book. I bought it and read it but fortunately did not follow his advice except for a fairly shhort and profitable ride on the Korean market. And then I was listening more to Templeton than to Malkiel.

But Malkiel made me a pile of money in the 1980s.
