Looks like hokum to me (Vertex)

Of course, that doesn't mean anything in terms of what the stock price will do, but as many people on this thread have said, many times, there is no single solution, and there is no solution that does not involve a lot of people.

The thing that looks strange to me is looking at object code. As anyone here who is a programmer will certify, its hard enough looking at your own source code to work out what the hell its doing. Having a program look at object code, I dont think so. Might work in the simplest of instances, but how can it distinguish from 'is a > b' (where a contains 0 and b contains 99, and is a date, and the same operation, where it isnt a date and this is a valid comparison.

Plus, unless its actually embedded in the running /executing object code, if you look at the object, neither a nor b would contain anything at all so how could you work out what they were. And if its contained in the running code, oh the fun you will have testing, as it does different things depending on what the input data looks like.

I take it back, it cannot possibly work.

The stock price may still shoot through the roof though!
