Sorry Mary but I always thought an algorithm was the result of a proof.

Its not clear to me that these folks are doing anything except guessing at the right equation. As I say its all fine until you forget about a key variable. For example the cost to municipalities of landfills when permitting manufacturers to switch in the 1960's from reuseable to palstic containers. The use of asbestos insulation etc. etc.

Please let me know when they come up with a program I can run that accurately predicts where a stock will be trading in the next five minutes.
