Amazing and brilliant. Came here after finishing his series on MIT open courseware. We are lucky to be living in a time where technology can provide this to us.
Started reading some of their papers on credit risk, then I had the chance to assist to one of his classes at MIT, and then, after reading this book, I'm sure this kind of multidisciplinary approaches to finance are going to take over our ideas on markets, and about everything really. Thank you professor Lo
God this hits different. Fleeting nature of life slaps on your face. After seeing Andrew Lo in his famous 2008 MIT series, this just refuses to sits with me.
Very interesting but the volatility of prices on the fish markets doesn't imply inefficiency. Inefficiency would mean that somebody could have profited from the volatility, but even going back in time with the knowledge we have now, we wouldn't be able to: Once you realize that a market has too little supply, you couldn't simply run to the next market, buy fish, run back and sell it, or someone would have been smart enough to do that. You couldn't have bought the fish on days were supply was overabundant and stored it for a day were supply was low to sell it at a premium because it would've gone bad. So there is no arbitrage (space or time) to be had => prices were efficient. What the cellphone does is equivalent to modern supply-chain technology, leveling the supply.
Interesting thought.... But maybe the asset changed before and after cellphones? Or do you think it is same fish? What if instead of cellphones let's say you have refrigerator and we have frozen fish. Maybe frozen fish (different asset,) is less volatile than fresh fish
In evolutionary theory, adaptation enables survival - and survival is the good outcome. But here, in the NASCAR example, adaptation leads to bad outcome [more accidents]. So, are you saying adaptation is bad?
MY goodness, just felt asleep while watching Prof Lo's lecturer of 2008 version played as podcast till one knocked on my room as 2019 Halloween. That knocking sound woke me up and messed up previous video. Retracking back again it brought me "Back future" 10 years after. Lo' s facial appearance becomes more mature... Hahaha, still BOLD and much more glittering. Well good example for me to know he published his own book. Will check it out........STF........
That's interesting for a scholar to do some economic developments in the rural of Third World related to mobile introduction into the place. .......STF.....
Aha, this is a really beefy crystal clear financial analysis from his specific penetration in investment compared with the average Joe's words. Terrific....STF.....
I don't agree with his explanation about expert system. Experty system only deal with rules extracted from an human expert. No data in the process, only rules. All the rules then can be use to be activated by facts. This happens at the inference engine. You required much more less code that any other aproach of programming. Ref: CLIPS expet system.
That is superstitious to say Rabi or abradebra cadebra casting spells. That is brain rationalizing a situation to self by psychology rather algorithm at all.................Hahaha.......Sorry Prof Lo................STF......................
This guy clearly have not done his homework! Think about it, somewhere bank is liquidating all its assets because it going out of business. Dropping shares on market makes company in our interest go down in mcap value. And it means nothing to actual company fundamental value. Supply and demand is everything, market efficiency does not exist. Or it defined very wrongly.
i agree markets are not efficient but actually you need to do your homework re:finance; most academic works assume the efficiency of market which he acknowledges is "incomplete". His work bridges the gap between the quantitative finance and the anomalies caused by human behavior.
You are clearly an idiot, obviously. "This" guy is a tenured professor at MIT devoting his whole life to finance, and rumored to be one day a recipient of the Nobel prize.

You have definitely not listened the whole talk.
