    Neural Networks don't work for trading

    Some articles on neural nets in financial markets are below. What I'm curious about is since neural nets are universal function generators, shouldn't they be able to do anything regular statistics can do if as a previous poster said, you have the right inputs and outputs? I'm actually...

    Bull by Night, Bear by Day Is Best Strategy, Goldman Sachs Says

    This was pointed out in a Stocks, Futures and Options magazine article a long time ago. Obviously the author reads the magazine and stole the idea, unless it's the same author. SFO is free btw and a good magazine.
