B'berg TV reporter: "He's a very charismatic guy ..." 'Nuff said "All it does is look at the last trade and calculate trades that would be equivalent of, ‘What if this security increases 50 percent in value in the next three seconds,”’ Meyer says of his program." Possibly risk management...

Categories of fundamental data in the ags markets are numerous, as are interpretations of widely-disseminated data, and opinions formed (and acted upon over different timeframes) by pro traders who collect and analyse their own data, and commercials who take time to arrive at hedging decisions...

Indeed, there's the kernel of a idea here: build a parser; feed in all ET posts 2002-2007; exclude any post that includes term 'Hershey'; write algorithm based on frequently occurring phrases of agreement; pass through Hodrick-Prescott filter;.....(wakes up)
