I'm skeptical of the starmine dataset[0] being used:

"The dataset is based on relationships between elements in the periodic table and public companies."

This description is a bit vague.

I'm having trouble deciding if this whole post is a sly commentary on how easy it is to get machine learning wrong.

Beat the market by 10% with k-means clustering and a feature set derived from companies and chemical elements! Hahahaha no.

I know, right? Now mapping it to the sequences coming from the numbers stations? Totally different story!
