Could I ask what is so incredible about having friends/spouses who work
at investment houses ?

What is such a corporate secret about using NN predictions for stock
purchasing ?  The person didn't spew forth a specific algorithm and

Given the amount of attention NN's have recieved in financial research
journals and effort at the public research institutions, I don't even
understand the motivation for your cheaply sarcastic post.
