The comparisons to financial markets
are getting OT and a little silly, but bender
is on shaky ground when he claims that historical stock price movements
are ``... «informative» in the sense of information theory...» In fact, the weak - form Efficient Market Hypothesis, which
is the basis of much of modern
finance, posits the exact opposite — that all relevant information
is contained in the current stock price and there
is no informational content in historical movements.
