Hi Hansi .. i have been working on a robo advisory platform and must confess, given my stat background, i always felt the secret sauce to be the algos. I did know that fundamental analysis needs to go hand in hand with the stat part but some of the things mentioned here are eye openers for me. Would it possible to connect via linked in so that i could get your views on how machine learning can help (not the historical data but the qualitative analysis aspects) .. for all i know , you are already aware of research / firms in the area .. appreciate the effort!
