Random Markets?

Check out the Coin Toss Simulation - Visualizing Randomness from this link. Enter an amount in the Number of coin tosses box and press the "Simulate" button. Go ahead...enter 500000. Hmmm....

Very interesting. Especially when entering a large, say 100,000 and then running the simulation multiple times. One would expect that over 100,000 tosses the end result will be around the 0 but that's not quite the case..

yes, gives a great reality check on what we're up against in the market.
