Efficient Market Hypothesis

New to this page so I don't want to step on anyone's toes here, but it strikes me that financial markets often do not facilitate trading "at prices that reflect the efficient market hypothesis." I'm not arguing with EMH per se, but would suggest that there are deviances from prices that the EMH would suggest and that this occurs fairly regularly (dot.com for example). Obviously EHM is one method to explain pricing, but not the only one. Either remove or expand this part? I personally would err on removing as pricing/valution methodology is a rather large and complex subject that is hard to condense to one paragraph for equities let alone all securities. Suggestions?

Good point, I agree. Keithbob--Keithbob (talk) 15:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Farooqa (talkcontribs) 20:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Highly agree on this point too. Oftentimes psychology plays a much greater role in pricing than market/economic factors. Well, psychology may determine supply and demand rather than the other way around. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctschro (talkcontribs) 16:57, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
