"I think that the efficient market theory offers one of the truest views of
the markets. I also believe it is one of the largest pieces of theoretical
garbage. The theory correctly observes that markets reflect the intelli-
gence of all crowd members; it is fatally flawed in assuming that investors
and traders are rational human beings who always strive to maximize
gains and minimize losses. That is a very idealized view of human nature."

I could post almost any paragraph from this book - it's really good and really well written. And free to download as a .pdf - there's a link to it somewhere on the 'Trading Books' thread...

"Many beginners, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data, fall into
the trap of automatic trading systems. Their vendors claim to have
backtested the best technical tools and put them together into winning
systems. Whenever an excited beginner tells me he is planning to buy
an automatic system, I ask him what he does for a living and what
would happen if I came to compete with him after buying an automatic
decision-making system in his field. People want to believe in magic,
and if that magic can also save them from working and thinking, they
gladly pay good money for it."
