Stupid money certainly exists but it tends to systematically flow to smarter investors. This causes smarter investors to make up the majority of the money in the market. I don't want to suggest that the market is perfect. It can remain quite ignorant of important facts like "Sometimes housing market values become highly correlated" for quite a while. But once these facts become known it tends to respond very quickly.
