In 1965, Eugene Fama published his dissertation arguing for the random walk hypothesis. Also, Samuelson published a proof showing that if the market is efficient, prices will exhibit random-walk behavior.
The main prediction of Gene’s efficient-markets hypothesis is exactly that stock price movements are unpredictable! An informationally efficient market is not supposed to be clairvoyant. Steady profits without risk would, in fact, be a clear rejection of efficiency.
The Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH) is an investment theory primarily derived from concepts attributed to Eugene Fama’s research as detailed in his 1970 book, “Efficient Capital Markets: A Review of Theory and Empirical Work.”
This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on the efficient markets model. After a discussion of the theory, empirical work concerned with the adjustment of security prices to three relevant information subsets is considered. First, weak form tests, in which the information set is just historical prices, are discussed.
One of the most controversial topics in finance is the efficient-market hypothesis, developed by Eugene Fama in 1965. In a nutshell, the theory says that the financial markets are efficient, so no one can gain an edge in them.

Apr 1, 2020 · The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) that developed from Fama’s work (Fama 1970) for the first time challenged that presumption. Fama’s results reported in 1965 were entirely empirical in nature, but the coincident work by Samuelson (1965) provided a strong theoretical basis for this hypothesis.
The efficient markets hypothesis (EMH) maintains that market prices fully reflect all available information. Developed independently by Paul A. Samuelson and Eugene F. Fama in the 1960s, this idea has been applied extensively to theoretical models and empirical studies of financial securities
