Jim Cramer is way behind - but glad he is behind the same stock which we recommended weeks ago via Twitter (and personally bought a few days back):

Follow @paranumeral on Twitter and keep an eye for (significant) positive predictions. Do some research and if you like the company go get it well before others crunch the numbers.

Follow us on Twitter

Paranumeral is now on Twitter.

Each morning predictions are made using new statements and prices fetched the night before. Only those over a certain magnitude (absolute value of the prediction) and symbols/tickers not ending with .OB or .PK get twitted about. That is so no one gets flooded with tweets about predictions which are basically "market perform" and with tweets about tiny caps.

Since no magnitude works for everyone and just cause hashtags are cool, the system bands and hashtags the predictions by prediction magnitude so folks can filter out stuff. Tickers are also turned into hashtags. Maybe I'll add or change the current tags to the standard #outperform, #underperform, #perform etc.

New models

I have been actively building, analyzing and deploying new models based on the new infrastructure. In order to easily swap models in and out the feature calculation engine is now running on all cylinders - calculating all 650 features - and running a lot slower than before. Some used few, some - like the current one - used a lot of them.

Speaking of the current model; it is based on roughly 60,000 company statements, both quarterly and annual spanning 15 years; from December 31st, 1995 to December 31st, 2010. It makes good use of a couple of hundred features, mainly past relative price patterns and variations on dozens of measures of company strength versus peers.

The expanded date range (compare to previous models built on 5 years) provides the model with data points of various "markets" - bulls, bears, bubbles etc.

I ended all CAPS predictions so as to start fresh with these new models. Will most likely add functionality to the website which does similar tracking so I don't have to spend as much time just entering predictions manually in the Motley Fool CAPS.
