I may post things on the automated trading system or its stock picks if there’s any interest, but that’s not a top priority right now since it has no benefit to me.  Sorry, I’m being selfish.  Since it involves a lot of stats, linear algebra, AI, and general programming I’m guessing it wouldn’t be of much interest to most people that read this blog anyway — all 2 of them.  Plus, there’s the minor issue that I’m not qualified to write about any of the aforementioned subjects since I only know just enough about each area to get what I need done.  So if you noticed a change in this blog since last year, that’s why.  And if you just started reading it this year, ignore this post and continue to enjoy the daily stock market analysis posts.  More to come on the topic in the future…

It’s basically the polar opposite of How To Make Money In Stocks so I think it’s valuable to read it to expand your exposure to different techniques. Of course you’ll also see the common things they discuss which will help reinforce them. Anyway, I have more comments on the actual book page if you want to look into it.
