Unlike hardcore behavioralists who claim total chaos, Haugen argued for quasi-efficiency . Prices are wrong, but they are wrong in predictable ways. For example, stocks that recently crashed tend to continue crashing (momentum). Stocks with very low volatility tend to drift higher (low-vol). These are exploitable patterns.

In his research, Haugen showed that investors have a preference for "lottery ticket" stocks—securities with low prices and the potential for explosive upside. This desire for a big "win" causes investors to bid up the prices of volatile, risky stocks, thereby depressing their future returns. Conversely, stable, low-risk companies are ignored, leading to lower valuations and higher future returns. This "low-volatility anomaly" struck at the very heart of Modern Portfolio Theory, suggesting that safety was not only cheaper but more profitable.
