Awesome!

Spoiler alert, predicting a self aware system like the stock market not so much possible in the long run.

But profiting from the lucky guesses of rodents in the short term - possible and awesome. (As long as it's not your money on the line.)

The market makers, those tend to be human beings who buy and sell stocks, watch the market and continuously adjust their actions based on their observations of the market.

No elaborate theory here, just stating the oversimplified obvious.
