Middle Market Deals and how to buy, sell and raise capital from $5 to $500 million

There is an academic discussion that has lasted for decades over the question of whether and to what extent markets are efficient. 

Larry Stay, who writes for Know More Media about investing, was writing about technical trading and stopped long enough to answer my question about whether or not stock pickers can actually expect to beat the market.

I liked his answer and recommend it anyone who wonders about such things.

I can summarize his answer to the question, can a stock picker beat the market as being "it's hard--so people who do get paid very well."
