About this listen

“A Random Walk Down Wall Street” by Burton G. Malkiel advocates for the efficient market hypothesis, which suggests that stock prices reflect all available information and are thus inherently unpredictable. Malkiel argues that, due to market efficiency, it’s unlikely for investors to consistently outperform the market through either technical analysis or fundamental stock picking. The book supports the idea of investing in broad-based index funds as a more reliable and less risky approach to long-term wealth creation. Malkiel uses statistical evidence and behavioral finance to explain market anomalies and investor psychology. This classic finance book is essential for understanding the randomness of markets and the benefits of a passive investment strategy.
