Big Saturday Interview: Andrew Lo of MIT's Laboratory for
Financial Engineering
Andrew Lo is the director of the Laboratory for Financial Engineering at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This weekend, he provides TradingMarkets
with his insights on trading and technical analysis. Perhaps most fascinating is
Andrew Lo's discussion of what he calls the Adaptive Market Hypothesis (AMH). Lo
calls his AMH "a new view of financial markets from a biological
perspective...within an evolutionary framework," and shows how this way of
thinking about market behavior may help to "reconcile many of the apparent
contradictions between efficient markets and behavioral expectations."
