Does this actually contradict the weak form of the EMH, that "future prices cannot be predicted by analyzing prices from the past"? If it's computationally unfeasible for the market to incorporate new information, surely its then equally computationally unfeasible for some outside observer to predict future prices? I'm not sure this even contradicts the semi-strong form of the EMH, though it clearly does rule out strong EMH.


Weak form EMH is so pointless so as to be essentially useless in predictive value.

It's like those horoscopes that state - "you will meet someone of great personal importance soon!"
