Stock market analysis and performance

While stock investing is technically not debt investing, the stock markets are still primarily a mechanism to direct capital surpluses to fill capital deficits. It is also a completely false argument, since it has been abundantly clear for some time now that stock markets are very poor pointers to real economic performance. A number of finance scholars and practitioners have argued that stock market analysis is not efficient — that is, that they don’t necessarily reflect economic fundamentals. We observe that the predictions of political stock markets are highly correlated with the corresponding polls, yet the markets are able to aggregate additional information.
