Oh, I'm not saying that the market is entirely unpredictable, or that you couldn't predict (with enough processing power and the right tools/algorithm) the value of a stock into the future.

What I am saying, and you continue to miss, is that the algorithm which is the specific topic of this thread isn't going to tell you the value of a stock a year from now.

So it is, apparently, you doing the overreaching.


Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.
