Abstract
The idea of an Efficient Market first came from the French mathematician Louis Bachelier in 1900: « The theory of speculation ».
Bachelier argued that there is no useful information in past stock prices that can help predicting future prices and proposed a theory for financial options’ valuation based on Fourier’s law and Brownian’s motions (time series).
Bachelier’s work get popular in the 60s during the computer’s era.
In 1965, Eugene Fama published a dissertation arguing for the random walk hypothesis (Stock market’s prices evolve randomly: prices cannot be predicted using past data).
In 1970, Fama published a review of the theory and empirical evidences
The EMH (Efficient Market Hypothesis): Financial markets are efficient at processing information. Consequently, the prices of securities is a correct representation of all information available at any time.
Weak:
Not possible to earn superior profits (risk adjusted) based on the knowledge of past prices and returns.
Semi-strong:
Not possible to earn superior profits using all information publicly available.
Strong:
Not possible to earn superior profit using all publicly and inside information.
The CAPM describes the relationship between market risks and expected return for a security i (also called cost of equity), E(Re_i):
Re_i = Rf – Bi(Rm – Rf)
With:
Rf = Risk free rate (typically government bond rate)
Rm = Expected return for the whole market
Bi = The volatility risk of the security i compared to the whole market
(Rm – Rf) is consequently the market risk premium
According to the EMH, for a well-diversified portfolio, expected returns can only reflect those of the market as a whole. Consequently, in the CAPM formula, It would involves that for a diversified-enough portfolio: β = 1 so Re = Rm
Investors want to value companies before making investment decisions.
A typical way to do so is to use the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method:
See also: Prospect theory, disposition effect, heuristic, framing, mental accounting, Home bias, representativeness, conservatism, availability, greater fool theory, self attribution theory, anchoring, ambiguity aversion, winner's curse, managerial miscalibration and misconception, Equity premium puzzle, market anomalies, excess volatility, Bubbles, herding, limited liabilities, Fama French three 3 factors model.

Personal Finance: Introduction to Behavioral Finance by @PhroogalJason Vitug
Behavioral finance is a subcategory of finance that seeks to explain the rationality or irrationality of financial decision-making. It seeks to combine behavioral and cognitive psychology theory with finance to provide explanations for why people make irrational decisions.

Barry Ritholtz Presentation on Behavioral Economics (CFA Toronto 2013)Chand Sooran
A good introduction to key issues in behavioral economics from Barry Ritholtz in a presentation made to the CFA Toronto Group. Pithy, entertaining and informative.
The basic paradigm of asset pricing is in vibrant flux. The purely rational approach is being subsumed by a broader approach based upon the psychology of investors. In this approach, security expected returns are determined by both risk and misvaluation. This survey sketches a framework for understanding decision biases, evaluates the a priori arguments and the capital market evidence bearing on the importance of investor psychology for security prices, and reviews recent models.
Prepublication version of paper: https://ssrn.com/abstract=265132.
The traditional model of the "rational economic man" has dominated economics for decades along with the efficient market hy[othesis and capital asset pricing model, both of which rely on the rational economic man.
The model states that economic actors make decisions by gathering available information and then rationally choosing the path most likely to maximize their goal.
Because information is widely available to all market participants, the implication of the model is that it is virtually impossible to outperform the market without access to non-public information.
In recent decades, a field of economics known as behavioral finance or behavioral economics radically revises the rational economic man model. It finds that decisions are actually made not by rational analysis but rather by emotions, instincts, cognitive biases, and primitive fears and desires. The result is financial decision-making that leads to "irrational" decisions -- think financial bubbles, panics, etc. By analyzing the decisions of others and finding the faults, it is possible to develop strategies that gain from these faults.
This presentation presents a detailed explanation of behavioral finance and its implications for decision-making and financial markets and then describes strategies that may profit from the knowledge.

Influence Strategies for Software ProfessionalsTechWell
You’ve tried and tried to convince people of your position. You’ve laid out your logical arguments on impressive PowerPoint slides—but you are still not able to sway them. Cognitive scientists understand that the approach you are taking is rarely successful. Often you must speak to others’ subconscious motivators rather than their rational, analytic side. Linda Rising shares influence strategies that you can use to more effectively convince others to see things your way. These strategies take advantage of a number of hardwired traits: liking—we like people who are like us; reciprocity—we repay in kind; social proof—we follow the lead of others similar to us; consistency—we align ourselves with our previous commitments; authority—we defer to authority figures; and scarcity—we want more of something when there is less to be had. Join Linda to learn how to build on these traits as a way of bringing others to your side. Use this valuable toolkit in addition to the logical left-brain techniques on which we depend.

We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know.”
