Tutorial Updates
I spent some time yesterday rebuilding the downloadable templates in my Building an AI financial market model – Lesson V post to be RapidMiner 4.0 compatible. You can now download both the classification and prediction experiement, gold model file (mod), and Excel files in two easy Zip file downloads. Everything should work for RapidMiner now.
Over time I hope to update the lessons I through IV with new screenshots as the GUI on RapidMiner is different than YALE.

There’s nary a red arrow in sight today, Bernanke has saved the day once more.
But is he running low on ammo? http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aOv1UfsECliU&refer=exclusive

Barely a day has passed and all the arrows are red again, this is becoming SO predictable.

Yep and you don’t need a neural net to tell you that!

The keyword of the day is de-leverage according to citigroup,
During the last credit crisis in 1998, European banks were leveraged 26 to 1. In the early part of this decade, leverage grew to 32 to 1. Now the sector is geared 40 to 1 on average, according to Citi’s European bank research team.
“The banks have a long way to go,” the strategists said. “We would continue to avoid the sector while they are de-leveraging.”

Yeah too bad I bought Citigroup at $40/share. I’m wondering if they could end up at $10/share now.
