The experience of illness can reach beyond the patient and impact the family system considerably. Patients experience illness through the lenses of their personal emotions, past experiences, stage of life, familial role, social relationships, responsibilities, stressors, and cultural and spiritual beliefs. Other factors, including the nature of the illness and comorbid conditions, also influence how the patient perceives illness. Together, these factors impact how and whether patients seek care, utilize health resources, and receive and adhere to treatment—all of which eventually impact the outcome of the illness. To prepare for this Discussion: Think about a patient’s emotional or psychological response to illness and the factors (e.g., depression, stress, anxiety) that might contribute to this response. Select two factors that you believe are important and might critically affect a patient’s course of life beyond family (e.g., at work, school, social life, role in the community). Consider the stages of an illness—diagnosis, treatment, adherence to treatment, worsening of condition, complications, and survival. By Day 4 Post a description of the two factors you selected. Explain how these factors influence illness and a patient’s life beyond his or her family. Then, explain how these factors might present themselves during at least two stages during the course of illness. Finally, explain how a medical social worker might intervene to ensure that the patient receives the services he or she needs to cope best during each of these stages. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources and the current literature using appropriate APA format and style. .

The job is just to read each individual peer post that I put there and respond to them with a response of 3-4 sentences long Peer #1 For the Research Assignment, I have chosen to focus on an area of Healthcare that rarely gets the attention it deserves Mental health. I chose this topic because I am personally effected by it and so are many millions of Americans. Mental illness is also one of the leading causes of death in our nation and one life is lost as a result of suicide, abuse or incarceration every 17mins in the United States. Mental illness has been my area of focus throughout this program and the advocacy and participatory philosophy will be useful for the final project because it suggests that “ that research inquiry needs to be intertwined with politics and a political agenda” (Creswell, p.9). I do believe that mental health has a specific agenda for a study and that there has been constant aim for reform in healthcare and mental health. This social issue is definitely pertinent right now and topics that address it such as “empowerment, inequality, oppression, domination, suppression, and alienation” (Creswell, p.9), and are really the focus of the study. The goal of this project for me, is to provide a voice to participants and give them the ability address the concerns that will lead to reform. According to Kemmis and Wilkinson (1998) this philosophy offers four key features of the advocacy/participatory framework of inquiry: 1. Participatory actions are focused on bringing about change, and at the end of this type of study, researchers create an action agenda for change. 2. It is focused on freeing individuals from societal constraints, which is why the study begins with an important issue currently in society. 3. It aims to create a political debate so that change will occur. 4. Since advocacy/participatory researchers engage participants as active contributors to the research, it is a collaborative experience. Research Problem Statement My Vision is to Provide members of the community with the opportunities and education needed to prevent death due to suicide, acts of self-harm and the traumatic impact of mental illness. By promoting resilience, the enhancement of community resources, conflict resolution and support for individuals, families and the communities of those who suffer with mental disorders, illness or have a sudden mental health crisis. The target population includes all individuals within Chatham County, with unmet mental health needs. These individuals are currently not being served by traditional methods due to financial, structural, and personal barriers including access and stigma. Untreated mental health issues of these individuals put them at risk for exacerbation of physical health problems, suicide attempts, premature moves to long-term care se.

Psychiatric history Basic structure Standard history – presenting complaint, drug history, past medical history etc. – plus PSYCH extras: Pre-morbid personality: "how would friends and family describe you before you were unwell?". Ask about previous hobbies and habits. Substance use, including alcohol. Ask about frequency, volume, location and situation, and if relevant, administration route and needle sharing. Youth: personal history. Crime: forensic history. Harm risk i.e. risk assessment. SO CRAP: Risk to Self, Risk to Others, Chronic physical health problems, Relapse risk, Medication Adherence, Protective factors. Standard history components Presenting complaint: "What's been happening with you lately?". Put their own words in quotations as the presenting complaint. If anxious, reassure: "we don't have to talk about anything you don't want to discuss". Think about 4 key components of the episode, in a causal sequence: (1) triggers and life circumstances → (2) thoughts and emotions → (3) behavioural and physical symptoms, including functional impairments → (4) impacts on family, work, and physical health. Make sure to cover the onset, duration, and pattern of symptoms, and factors that perpetuate, exacerbate, or relieve them. Get their ideas, concerns, and expectations: what do they think is going on? Ask about specific psych symptoms – e.g. delusions – as part of the mental state exam.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine Bio-Psycho Social-Spiritual Model In all our teaching, we invite students to conceptualize patient problems by using a bio-psycho-social-spiritual formulation. This model is used throughout our curriculum in psychiatry. We ultimately want students to arrive at patient formulations that allow for understanding and drive formation of treatment plan. Formulations help explain "how did this patient get to this psychiatric status?" What follows is a description of the components of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual formulation. We have added prompts for the students to help them think about and organize clinical material. Students are encouraged to include each component in formulations. This model generally includes the following: Biological Past Genetics: Consider whether any blood relatives that have had psychiatric problems, substance use problems or suicide attempts/suicides. Is there a history of close relatives who have been hospitalized for psychiatric reasons? What kind of treatments did they get, how did they respond? History of Pregnancy and Birth: Consider pregnancy variables: Was there in-utero exposure to nicotine, alcohol, medications or substances? Anything unusual about pregnancy? Note birth complications, such as prematurity, birth trauma or extended periods of hospitalization. Relevant Previous Illnesses Consider any history of head injury, endocrine disorders (e.g. thyroid, adrenal), seizures, malignancies, or neurological illnesses. Consider potential lasting effects of past substance use on brain functions such as cognition, affective regulation, etc. Present Current Illnesses: Identify current illnesses and any direct impact they may have on psychiatric presentation. Medications: Assess current medication regimen. Consider whether these medications have psychoactive effects (e.g. steroids, beta blockers, pain medications, benzodiazepines, SSRI's, antipsychotics). Consider possible side effects of current medications. Substances: Consider the influence of nicotine, alcohol and street drugs on current psychiatric symptoms. Consider the possible effects of substance withdrawal. Psychological Past Comment on any past history of trauma (child abuse, combat, rape, serious illness), as well as resiliency (how the patient coped with trauma, e.g. friends, family, religion). Consider the sources of positive self image and positive role models. Comment on the patient's experience with loss. Comment on the patient's quality of relationships with important figures, such as grand parents, friends, significant teachers, or significant employers. Comment on how past medical problems, substance use or psychiatric problems impacted the patient's development and their relevance to patient today. Present Describe the recent events and experiences that precipitated the admission or appointment. What are the current stressors? Do they.

Generalist Practice: A Presentation on Steps of The Problem-Solving Process Name: Date: May 5th, 2021 Pamela Easter !!! 1 Problem Identification or Engagement Identify the type of problem – drug addiction and its effects on Family members.(Janice Walker is at the center of problem) Identify how the problem has affected the rest of the community- substance abuse effects cost in the community in measurable ways including loss of productivity and unemployability; impairment in physical and mental health; reduced quality of life; increase violence; and Crime; abuse and neglect of children. The community's general perception of the problem- the economic consequences of drug abuse severely burden federal , State, and local government resources, and the taxpayer. The root cause of the problem- most often the cause of addiction is chronic stress, a history of trauma (PTSD), mental illness, lastly family history with addiction Problem Identification/Engagement. The first step is to identify the type of problem the researcher is dealing with. Identify how the problem has affected the rest of the community and the community's general perception of the problem. The next step is to evaluate how the problem has affected the community or a client. Lastly, identify the root cause of the problem; where did the problem come from, or how did the victim get the problem they are facing. 2 Data Collection Three major ways of collecting data from Clients are Interviews, Observation, and surveys Interviews: Engaging with the client one-on-one. Listening to client’s perspective of the problem This method has ability to untangle the individual's problem, emotions, background, and the general social context, The Advocate can get the client's perception of the treatment Observation: It obtains data from clients by assessing the reaction to their respective environments The researcher can identify factors contributing to the Client's condition Data collection. There are many ways to collect data from a client. Three major ways of collecting data from a client are Interviews, Observation, and First Extraction. Interviews: The researcher can speak with the patient on a one-on-one basis. A researcher or a nurse can use this method because of its ability to untangle the individual's problem, emotions, background, and the general social context, which in this paper largely revolves around the family relationship (Cohen et al., 2017). This data collection method paves the way for a nurse to get the patient's perception of the treatment and some of the elements that motivated them to embrace treatment. Observation: it is used to obtain data from clients by assessing the reaction to their respective environments. Observation methods allow the researcher to identify social dimensions and family background factors contributing to the patient's condition. 3 Data Collection cont’d Surveys : Can discover the problem Clients Family History background details o ...

CASE STUDY: Female, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression The patient is a fifteen-year-old female teenager who presents to the clinic with her mother for her first assessment. Patient is being referral to the clinic by the school counselor due to low grades and poor school assistance. During the session, both the patient and the mother are neatly dressed. Her mother seems to be worried about her daughter. The patient said, "I worry a lot about my family members. I fear that one day my parents will be abducted or fatally injured. The worries and fears make me have difficulties concentrating on personal well-being and my studies in school." The mental assessment shows that the patient is depressed, and she refuses to leave the proximity of her mother. Her mother says that her daughter has been experiencing depression or anxiety attacks. The physical assessment shows that the patient has been experiencing physical aches and pains. She maintains good eye contact. Her mood is a little anxious. The symptoms conclude that the patient has separation anxiety disorder because the symptoms have progressed for the past six months. Treatments include antidepressants, group therapy, family therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. A follow-up is to be done in two weeks. Assignment 2: Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care. For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient. To Prepare · Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management. · Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value. · Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide: · Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life? · Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment? · Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum o.

The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina Lessons Learned (February, 2006) recommended that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) establish a National Exercise and Evaluation Program (NEEP). By extension, the NEEP designated the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) as a way to standardize exercise planning and execution across governmental levels and sectors. Not all nongovernmental organizations use HSEEP in full or even partially. However, communities, states, and various federal agencies are expected to adopt and employ its tenets. Certainly, it provides the standard that is employed in the National Exercise Program (NEP). The HSEEP provides a standardized methodology for planners to use in designing, developing, conducting, evaluating, and improving exercises and training. The HSEEP also serves as an extensive resource, replete with useful tools, templates, and examples for building exercises and determining training needs, creating training events, and assessing the merits of all related activities. As you know or are learning, training and exercises are ideally integrated, not merely linked. What is the difference between these concepts of linked and integrated ? Exercises that are linked to training may (or may not) draw directly or indirectly from training drills and events. Exercises that integrate training are considerably more dynamic, with training occurring as the exercise unfolds. This latter technique better develops critical thinking, problem-solving, leadership, and decision-making abilities as well. The following illustration should clarify this benefit: Soldiers and law enforcement personnel routinely attend weapons ranges to practice and qualify on their assigned weapons. This training helps them to maintain proficiency or improve in their individual skills. Consider an exercise that links this specific training to other training. The soldiers are completing a special obstacle course in which they run, climb rope ladders, swing over water obstacles, etc. Sometime during the course, they shoot at targets and then dismantle weapons under timed conditions and must achieve a certain score on their target hits. There is linkage to firing weapons accurately to the overall stress-inducing obstacle course. Integrating the weapons training might look like the following: Soldiers, equipped with laser-emitting weapons, and wearing special sensors on their helmets and vests, commence to move in tactical formations proceeding through wooded (or desert, jungle, etc.) environments. Another group of soldiers, also equipped with special weapons and sensors, plays the opposing force. The two groups engage in realistic combat operations requiring accurate weapons fire, plus evasive movement, simulated first aid, evacuation of casualties, and other assorted requirements. In this case, firing a weapon potentially has an offensive and defensive role, yet is one part of a whole scenario. (You might substitute law en.

The Federal Reserve System was established to provide a stable monetary system for the entire economy. The Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) has three major tools to control the money supply: 1) reserve requirements, 2) discount window for loans to member banks, and 3) open market operations. When the economy is in a recessionary mode, what will likely be the actions by the Federal Reserve using monetary policy? Suppose the Federal Reserve purchases a $100,000 bond from John Doe, who deposits the proceeds in the Manufacturer's National Bank; what will be the impact of this transaction on the supply of money? How do each of the Fed's tools work? What is the fractional reserve system, and how does it work in relation to the Fed? Review the Federal Reserve System and how the Fed alters the monetary base to achieve the levels of money supply in the economy. .

The Failure of Theory to Predict the Way Public Sector Organisation Responds to its Organisational Environment and the Need for a Mosaic-View of Organisational Theory Bryane Michael & Maja Popov Published online: 25 November 2014 # Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Abstract What does theory predict about the way government size and structure adapts to changes in government’s organisational environment (particularly to uncertainty and complexity)? In this paper, we review the theory and evidence from the literature about the way government size adjusts to such changes – particularly to changes in macroeconomic fundamentals like gross national prod- uct (GDP). We find that the traditional theories from the organisational theory literature—like the contingency-based view, resource-based view and the rational choice view – fail to provide global explanations for much of the variation we see in the world around us. Instead, theorists need to adopt a “mosaic view” of organisational theory – accepting that different theories may explain the way public sector size and structure responds to the uncertainty and variability in its (macroeconomic) organisational environment. We also provide several empirical hypotheses to test such a mosaic-view. Keywords Contingency theory. Public sector organisational theory. Resource-based view. Size of government .

Popov General Secretariat of the Government of Serbia, 11 Nemanjina St., Belgrade, Serbia Introduction Despite over 40 years of theorizing about public sector organisation, we still know very little about how government responds to changes in its organisational environment. A variety of theories predict how government size and structure should respond to the national macroeconomic environment it regulates (as well as buys and sells labour, capital and goods in). Contingency theorists argue – though are now in relative disrepute – that government departments and agencies grow, shrink, divide and/or merge in response to changes in the macroeconomic environment (Gupta et al. 1994). Resource-based theorists – and their newer off-spring who write about “competencies” – argue that these government departments morph, depending on the resources (budgetary, staffing, know-how and so forth) they already have available – or can obtain through bureaucratic and/or political means (Bryson et al. 2007). Rational-choice theorists, and select scholars in public administration, argue that government organisational structure does (or sho.

This project is in line with the strategic objective of increasing sales and improving customer satisfaction by improving on time delivery at the Los Angeles, CA facility. This ERP software is in use at other facilities in the parent organization for many years now and has been successful in improving performance and delivery as well as reduced inventory levels and improved sales and bookings. This project has a preliminary budget of $500,000 with a duration of 12 -18 months. Statement of Scope This project will be company-wide and implemented in all departments and areas of the company. The new software Syteline® (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZLEMmqTdoE), will reduce the amount of manual tracking of jobs (phone calls, emails, manual excel schedules, attending department meetings, etc.) by providing real-time communication of timelines and part movement and flow throughout the shop and along with status of open programs or large jobs. It will also improve On Time Delivery (OTD) performance through enhanced planning and scheduling of orders. Reduction of lead times (customer delivery) through the elimination of wasted processes and excessive move and queue times built in because of manual processes. We intend to complete this transformation by: · Converting existing data into the new ERP database. · Upgrade server and network equipment to meet increased traffic demands. · Run pilot programs in parallel to test and verify new process capabilities. · Create standard work for each department · Train all employees that would use this system from managers to leads, from sales to production, and engineering to purchasing. Project Organization (MARC) This software upgrade will be in alignment with the organization's strat.

The Federal Judiciary I. Constitutional Provisions A. Article III of the Constitution - “The judicial Power in the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” Also provides for lifetime tenure. B. Marbury v. Madison (1803) - - gave the judicial branch the power to of judicial review - decide on the constitutionality of legislative enactments and executive actions. II. The Legal System A. Criminal and Civil Law 1. Criminal Law - the branch of law dealing with crimes and their punishments. (Murder, rape, robbery) state v citizen, innocent until proven guilty, burden of proof on government, beyond a reasonable doubt 2. Civil Law - is the body of law dealing with noncriminal matters, such as the laws of property, commercial law, and family law. (Employment discrimination) citizen v citizen, threshold of proof is lower, PREPONDERANCE OF EVIDENCE. B. Jurisdiction - the authority to hear and decide cases. 1. Original Jurisdiction - refers to a court’s authority to hear disputes as a trial court (Ex. O. J. Simpson’s case was held in a state level trial court). The facts of the case are established at the trial court level. More than 90 percent of all cases end at this stage. 2. Appellate Jurisdiction - refers to a court’s ability to review cases already decided by a trial court. III. The U.S. Court System: Organization and Jurisdiction A. Federal District Courts - are trial courts. There are 94, based on population but with at least one in each state. 1. They are courts of original jurisdiction. 2. Some use juries (either grand jury to decide if there is sufficient evidence to bring an indictment to an accused person or petit jury that hear evidence and sit in judgment) and other cases are heard by only a judge. B. Circuit Court of Appeal - are intermediate appellate courts. There are 12, based on regions or circuits that hear appeals from the federal district court. A thirteenth court, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, hears cases on patents and government contracts. Usually, a group of three judges decides their cases. C. Supreme Court - is the ultimate appellate court. Most cases that it hears have proceeded through the lower courts first. Today, we have 8 justices and one chief justice - 9 in total. 1. Decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court are binding throughout the nation and establish legal precedents. 2. Also has original jurisdiction - disputes involving ambassadors, two or more states, etc. IV. Judicial Selection - the president’s means of exercising leadership of the judicial branch is through the nomination of federal judges. A. Selection of Lower-Court Judges - this involves the federal district courts and the court of appeals. The president nominates for a lifetime tenure and the Senate must confirm each nomination by a majority vo.

The federal government has assumed responsibility for educating children living on federal property since the 1800s by paying those children’s school tuition. The advent of the Korean War led to a significant increase in military housing. Military installations began building schools on federal properties in the southern states in the early 1950s. There are several reasons why military children began attending schools on military installations rather than the local public schools, also known as Local Education Activities (LEAs). One significant reason is related to desegregation. Desegregation in the U.S. Military occurred prior to desegregation in public education. To support its own desegregation policies and the type of community these policies fostered, the government established desegregated schools for the children of military personnel. In addition, state law prohibited the expenditure of tax revenues for the education of children living on federal property. The military decided to build its own schools for the children of military personnel rather than paying for these children to attend local public schools. At present, all stateside U.S. Department of Defense Educational Activity (DoDEA) schools fall under the responsibility of the Department of Defense Title 10 under the direction of the Secretary of Defense. The overseas schools (or, DoDDS) fall under the responsibility of Title 20, Department of Education (DoDEA; School Boards for Department of Defense Domestic Schools Training Materials, 2012). Throughout the years, there have been many changes and shifts, as well as attempts to reintegrate children into LEAs. From time to time, the cost of supporting the schools is brought into question. In addition, whenever a military installation closes, its associated school, if any, closes too. Not all military children attend schools on military installations. Many receive quality educations at their LEAs. Regardless if a military child attends a school on a military installation or an LEA, it is important for helping professionals to know the types of education available to military children, to know how to support the needs of these students, and to know the laws that protect and support the social, emotional, and academic success of military children. For this paper, take into account what you have learned so far about military culture, review the two videos assigned this week, and conduct some additional research to deepen your understanding of the education of military children. Submit a 3- to 4-page paper in which you: Choose one family from the videos and briefly describe their circumstances as if they were an identified client Explain how the DoDEA school system could be utilized to help the family you chose Analyze how the scenarios discussed or circumstances may have been different in a civilian school Explain what social work strategies you would utilize with this family Explain how military culture played a part .

The Facts Peel Factor is the leading fruit juice provider in the country. The company is family owned and has been headed by brothers, Ted and Kiki, since the untimely passing of their father a few years ago. Kiki is the face of the enterprise and acts as the Executive Director of Peel Factor, soaking in all the plaudits for how well the company has performed. Ted is the reliable right-hand man who, until recently, faithfully executes his duties as one of the directors. Unbeknownst to Kiki, Ted has always felt that he can do a better job than his brother in leading the company, if given the chance to do so. Secretly, Ted has been approached by a talent scout hired by Fresh Inc., who is Peel Factor’s direct competitor. Ted is intrigued by Fresh Inc.’s offer to head their company and is tempted by the potential to achieve recognition for his business sense and administrative ability. He gives his in-principle agreement to Fresh Inc. to accept their offer. Out of brotherly love, he decides to inform Kiki first before signing the employment contract proper. Unfortunately for Ted, a local news reporter gets wind of the intended appointment and releases the news via the country’s premier social media app. Kiki is enraged by this perceived “betrayal” and goes to talk to Ted, hoping to come to an agreement on the way forward. However, once he gets to the office, Kiki loses it and castigates Ted, calling him “a wastrel and a disgrace to the family.” Ted tries to ignore Kiki and refuses to speak to him initially. Kiki then goes on to tell Ted that he “is the reason why father passed on early,” because Ted “is such a disappointment.” Kiki also says that Ted is “lousy” and that is why he “failed” at his job, and that the company would do much better without him, even though he has no evidence for this statement. Unable to hold it together any longer, Ted yells that Kiki has “always been the spoilt favourite family brat” and has only got so far because he is “tied to mummy’s apron strings.” Incensed at the situation, Kiki then proposes to buy back Ted’s shares in the family business for $0.04 per share even though he knows that the market price is $0.20 per share. Ted shouts back that Kiki has always been a “bully” since Ted lost Kiki’s favourite stuffed toy in their youth, even though Ted knows this has nothing to do with the current dispute. Kiki and Ted then both claim that they will each hear from their respective lawyers about this situation. Inwardly, Kiki is devastated. He has always wanted the family business to do well and wanted to keep his family together. Before their father passed, Kiki promised to take care of his brother and now the family seems to be torn asunder. Heartbroken, Kiki wishes deeply to keep the promise to his late father. In fact, Kiki actually thought he was grooming Ted to eventually take over from him in the near future. Further, he is extremely concerned about losing his existing clients as well as his staff.

The Financial Review 40 (2005) 1--9 Reflections on the Efficient Market Hypothesis: 30 Years Later Burton G. Malkiel∗ Princeton University Abstract In recent years financial economists have increasingly questioned the efficient market hypothesis. But surely if market prices were often irrational and if market returns were as predictable as some critics have claimed, then professionally managed investment funds should easily be able to outdistance a passive index fund. This paper shows that professional investment managers, both in The U.S. and abroad, do not outperform their index benchmarks and provides evidence that by and large market prices do seem to reflect all available information. Keywords: efficient markets, stock market predictability JEL Classifications: G12, G14 I have been an advocate of the efficient market hypothesis for over 30 years. In my view, equity prices adjust to new information without delay and, as a result, no arbitrage opportunities exist that would allow investors to achieve above-average returns without accepting above-average risk. This hypothesis is associated with the view that stock market price movements approximate those of a random walk. If new information develops randomly, then so will market prices, making the stock market unpredictable apart from its long-run uptrend. I suggested, largely in jest, that ∗Corresponding author: Chemical Bank Chairman’s Professor of Economics, Princeton University, Princeton University—Bendheim Center for Finance; 26 Prospect Avenue; Princeton, NJ 08540; United States; Phone: (609) 258-6445; Fax: (609) 258-0771; E-mail: [email protected] This paper was presented to the 2004 Meetings of the Eastern Finance Association in Mystic, Connecticut. 1 2 B. G. Malkiel/The Financial Review 40 (2005) 1–9 a blindfolded chimpanzee throwing darts at the stock pages could select a portfolio that would do as well as the experts.1 In fact, the correct analogy is to throw a towel over the stock pages and simply buy an index fund, which buys and holds all the stocks making up a broad stock-market index. In recent years, many financial economists have come to question the efficient market hypothesis. At least ex-post, there seem to be several instances where market prices failed to reflect available information.2 Moreover, periods of large-scale irra- tionality, such as the technology-internet “bubble” of the late 1990s extending into early 2000, have convinced many analysts that the efficient market hypothesis should be rejected.3 In addition, financial econometricians have suggested that stock prices are, to a significant extent, predictable on the basis either of past returns or of certain valuation metrics such as dividend yields and price-earning ratios.4 Although it is possible to cast doubt on the statistical robustness of many of the predictable patterns that have been suggested,5 my skepticism is based on somewhat different evidence. Surely, if market prices often faile.
