Professor Fama is the Robert R. McCormick Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the Graduate School of Business of the University of Chicago.

 Eugene F. Fama
Widely perceived as the "father of modern finance," he has brought an empirical and scientific rigor to the field of investment management, transforming the way finance is viewed and conducted.
In addition to serving on the board of directors of Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc., he is also a member of its investment committee, and in this capacity continues to develop many of the firm's strategies.
The author of the efficient markets hypothesis that underlies all of Dimensional's products, Professor Fama helped develop the firm's process, continues to supply key research, and helps keep the firm abreast of research in academia.

Eugene Fama said that it was impossible to "beat the market" because there are so many people trying to, that they effectively insure that the best predictor of future prices is exactly the current market price.
Eugene Fama said that the financial markets are informationally efficient.
The only thing that significantly changes the price of a stock (beyond the growth of PV of Future Earnings that are already expected to be realized) is something that happens that has not all ready been predicted, or priced into the stock.

In answer to Fama's question of how they plan to calculate the cost of capital in a world where prices are incorrect, the behavioralists say that for the purposes of such calculations, they'll just assume that prices are right.
The behavioralists are now clearly the dominant stream in academic finance, having made the leap from outsider status during the 1990s as a new generation of professors rose to positions of prominence.
But efficient-markets theory has a dirty little secret, too, which is that for the market to remain efficient, there have to be lots of rational investors who believe enough in the market's inefficiency to spend their careers trying to beat it.

 Investor Home - The Efficient Market Hypothesis
Fama persuasively made the argument that in an active market that includes many well-informed and intelligent investors, securities will be appropriately priced and reflect all available information.
One of Fama's recent papers (Market Efficiency, Long-Term Returns, and Behavioral Finance at the Social Science Research Network in Adobe Acrobat format) is one of the most popular investment downloads on the web.
If a market is efficient, no information or analysis can be expected to result in outperformance of an appropriate benchmark.

Currently, Fama is Professor of Finance at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago, where he is also chairman of its Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP).
Fama’s presentation at Ibbotson’s 1996 User Conference, “Value and Growth Around the World,” gave evidence that small value stocks out perform the market over the long-term.
Speaking of efficient markets, academic journals, Ibbotson, etc., the following piece on Eugene Fama at Ibbotson is a must-read for those who have more than a passing interest in these things.

But in academia the debate is all but over, and among pension fund fiduciaries Fama`s theories are now so accepted that an estimated 24% of the trillions of dollars in pension assets is invested in index funds.
While working as a trust officer at American National Bank in Chicago, Sinquefield evaluated the bank`s money managers and discovered just what Fama had predicted: Funds that actively pick large-company stocks collectively do no better than the SandP--worse, in fact, once you count their fees of 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points a year.
The result was a fund with the efficiency of an SandP indexer but the promise of higher returns in the long run.

In this article, Fama's message was clear: Stock prices are not predictable because the market is too efficient.
In an efficient market, as information becomes available, a great many smart people (Fama called them"rational profit maximizers") aggressively apply that information in a way that causes prices to adjust instantaneously, before anyone can profit.

 Efficient market theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to University of Chicago economist Eugene Fama, the price of a stock reflects a balanced rational assessment of its true underlying value (i.e., rational expectations); its price will have fully and accurately discounted (taken account of) all available information (news).
Efficient market theory is a field of economics which seeks to explain the workings of capital markets such as the stock market.

However, critics of the field (such as Eugene Fama) contend that it is more a collection of anomalies rather than a true branch of finance and that these anomalies will eventually be priced out of the market or explained by appeal to market microstructure arguments.
Law and economics is another field where the lessions of one disipline are brought into economics.
A very specific version of behavioral finance, prospect theory, was first advanced by Amos Tversky and Kahneman in 1979.

 Synergy Fest: Eugene Fama Interviews
For those unfamiliar with the subject matter, efficient market and random walk theory are at the philosophical core of the analysis that leads many investors to follow a passive index investing approach verses one involving investment in individual stocks and/or actively managed mutual funds looking to achieve "above market" returns.
Fama is a well known financial economist, a likely future Nobel Prize winner, and is known for his contributions to efficient market and random walk theory.
The second, is a 2000 interview with Roger Ibbotson titled "Random Talks with Eugene Fama" discussing his research, thoughts on investing, market inefficiency and risk.
