Abstract

Do markets really follow a random walk as modern financial theory suggests? Are we likely to experience a market crash as deadly as the likes of the Great Depression? What is the nature of volatility and how should it impact the way we model financial markets? Although definitive answers to these questions have yet to be formulated, Benoit Mandelbrot's work, The (mis)behavior of markets, sheds light onto them through a non-quantitative approach.
There are currently widespread misconceptions about markets, investors, and their behavior, and we will begin by addressing these false assumptions.
