Neural nets are only good at establishing patterns for which they have been trained from input data. They are only as good as that training data. Having worked with them and having programmed a rudimentary 2-layer neural net in college, I will personally never consider using them for investment purposes.

It’s been said in the AI community that neural nets are always the ‘second best’ solution. Meaning, that a well-groomed expert system will always beat them.
That said, they still have some value in tuning/optimizing existing systems. But I think the focus is more on genetic algorithms these days.

That’s interesting, the book I’m reading now claims just the opposite. In “Super Crunchers: How Thinking by Numbers is the new way to be Smart” by Ayres he describes how algorithms beat human experts in field after field, whether it’s predicting the future success of baseball players, if a particular vintage wine will be good, or how the Chief Justices will vote in a court case. In test after test, the algorithms beat the experts.
