I've spent the last 9.5 hours trying to develop a different way to analyse securities, it's been a real slog.  It may not be new (since you don't know what others are up to) but it certainly has to be at least 3 standard deviations away from the mean, the mean being the somewhat typically archaic methods that the mass market uses.  Searches on Google turn a blank.  What I'm try to do is find a way to exploit the human tendency to look at things in pairs, or in contrast to one another.  It's a natural direction for people to take, in terms of their thinking and I'm sure that it must have left a gap in the market that can be exploited.

Some probably think this is not normal behaviour for a saturday, maybe I should be watching a group of men kick an inflated leather ball amongst themselves with the object of scoring a "goal" or perhaps swinging a club with the object of getting the ball in the hole, or playing with a cue with the object of getting the balls in the holes.

The truth is the financial markets are far more competitive than those silly games, and a whole lot more interesting.
