The reason I ask that is that the various forms of the Efficient Market Theory are hard to reconcile with the following things:
Behavioral finance specifically the risk aversion-risk seeking spectrum.
the differences in risk profiles of structural and financial leverage and degree of which is used.
The arithmetic inverse relationship between gains and losses: a 10% loss is offset by an 11.111...% gain, a 20% by a 25% gain and so on.
Are there others I am missing in this area?
