If would be a more accurate theory if all investors were to act according to their heads and not their hearts. A good example is provided by a hypothetical disaster (natural, terrorism, etc) that causes core blue-chip stocks to plummet in price. Those investors who buy up the now-cheap stocks in these good businesses support the EMH, but the "sheep" who sell their now "worthless" shares are acting irrationally, and the EMH doesn't really encompass these movements. But otherwise it looks pretty good. Mîçhâê1 Lûçâš
