If they just get the financial headlines and indicators, aren't they all just momentum trading from sentiment analysis?

[knallfrosch]

Is anyone doing anything else?

[jfengel]

Some alternatives:

* Buy and hold

* Index funds

* Dollar cost averaging

[stouset]

Those can even all be the same alternative.

I've heard Nancy Pelosi has a different strategy.

[datadrivenangel]

Advanced notice of momentum is a fun and lucrative variation for sure.

[BLKNSLVR]

Would it be possible for a competing nation state to bug the right rooms in which Nancy becomes privy to the information she (or her husband) trades on?

[xsmasher]

This gave me a funny idea - play continuous audio of AIs talking to each other in all unused conference rooms so the opposition has to filter through even more garbage to get the useful information.

If they can read and act faster, accurately predicting sentiment, it would be a winning strategy. (At least until humans turned it all over to computers and stopped having to wait on their wetware to figure out their sentiments.)

[sunnynagra]

I think this is a fair characterization. Its mostly meant to be a learning exercise for myself, just thought it would be fun to share.

[PaulRobinson]

Yes.

This is not necessarily a poor value trading strategy.
