The opening quote is from Rex Sinquefield, Co-Founder of Dimensional Fund Advisors. Who knows what risks lurk in the hearts of investments? The Market knows! What does the Market know? The Market benefits from having a collective brain - a brain that processes thousands of trades every day from thousands of people who all think they know the proper price. But as Napoleon Bonaparte once said, "The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone." Mark also mentions Hayek and free market prices. See "Fear the Boom and Bust" a Hayek vs. Keynes Rap Anthem http://youtu.be/d0nERTFo-Sk .

This video (http://youtu.be/hGkSPZprCW8) furthers discusses how prices send signals to consumers and producers to tell them what something is worth. See the discussion of Hayek and Von Mises at 2:30 seconds into that video. Von Mises said free markets work, why fool with anything else. Active managers assume that free markets don't work and want to fool with investors' portfolios.
