I agree, predicting purely on lagging information is no good. We had this comment before and that's why we are currently working on distinguishing between a news stating a fact that occurred in the past, present or future. With that, we'll be able to present what the market thinks of the future price movements. For example, an author saying: "we expect copper to surge in the coming months", would be recognized as a future statement and factored in the future bullbear index. Or something like that.

That's smart, and very cool. I recall the dollar signs in my eyes when I thought about the potential in getting a predictive system like this to work -- I hope you guys nail it.
