> An “efficient market” does not mean it is at its optimal efficiency all the time, but that there is an efficient equilibrium it is capable of tending towards

This is a word salad of nonsense. Please familiarize yourself with the definitions of market efficiency and market equilibrium. Its premise may even be flawed: I also recommend looking up resources which show evidence that concept of market equilibria is itself nonsensical.

Yes I did that once during my economics degree. It’s a bastard science and can be debated no end, but those debates are a lot more valuable when the participants actually explain any of their conjectures.

But I sense you are more in it for the argument than to help either of us learn.


I guess you've forgotten then. I'm not here to help you learn, I'm here to help other readers of these threads avoid trying to parse that word salad sophistry
