Honey Badger Hedge Fund: Hackers predict stock market with open source mojo

Avatar of Chastity Mansfield Chastity Mansfield December 21, 2013

Can an algorithm successfully predict great stock moves? That’s the premise behind Honey Badger Hedge Fund,  a super-secret Twitter stock-picker that was put together with a little economics know-how and some exploring with Python. So far, the 7 recommendations the algorithm has made have been profitable, producing a 9.38 percent return rate, not bad for something that was made during 12-week programming bootcamp Hack Reactor. 

Somewhere, out on the web, there’s a secret Twitter account that’s one hell of a stock picker. So far, the thing has recommended seven stock trades — all to a private group of traders — and each one of them has turned a profit.
