		Fama went to Tufts University...[and] was elected three times to the Society of Scholars, which was made up of the two top students in the sophomore, junior and senior classes, and in his senior year he won the annual award as the school's outstanding student-athlete.
		Fama found the atmosphere stimulating (the dean of the business school at the time was George Shulz, a member of [Paul] Samuelson's first doctoral group at MIT in 1941, and a future holder of three cabinet posts, including Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan) and he co-authored several articles with Chicago colleagues during the 1960s.
		Fama reviewed the available literature on stock market behavior, conducted his own tests of the random movement of stock prices, proposed his own theories on the matter, and joined those who had concluded that stock prices are not predictable.

	Forums - "Think You Can Beat the Market? Eugene Fama Still Says You Can't" :D
		Fama is of course the guy that defines the now famous 3 forms of efficiency that one learns in every respectable quantitative finance course (see for example this one "defining informational market efficiency" http://frontpage.montclair.edu/lord...re2/markeff.pdf)
		Admitting that I have never read Fama and don't have any time or inclination to do so, it seems to me very reckless for an academical person to state that "something cannot be done", if this is indeed what he is saying.
		Fama has the merit to refine efficiency definitions but his conclusion should be modulated.

	Financial Rounds: Eugene Fama Speaks
		His dissertation (published whole in the Journal of Business in 1965) set the groundwork for the modern version of the theory of efficient markets, and he's played a big part in many of its subsequent developments.
		Fama does a great job of explaining the way the development of the CAPM affected the discussion of market efficiency:
		Nobody realized before that if the market was working properly, you had to say something about what the market was doing in setting prices in terms of the relation between expected return and risk.

		A recently published paper by Fama and Kenneth French is cited by the Journal as explaining why portable alpha won’t work.
		The paper discusses that because the strategy depends so much on borrowed funds, it is very likely to sustain sharp losses when the market faces tough times.
