Rudolf,
with the risk of sounding like a teacher, I dont believe you have your
facts straight. The most general version of Fourier (incl sampling
theorem) that I'm aware of requires the underlying function to be L2.
All the data I've seen on stock prices certainly doesn't indicate that
they are L2. I don't remember where I saw it, but I believe that there
is even research indicating that the variance is ever increasing, hence
no chance of every being L2.
