I was included in a recent article on data mining tricks, "StreetDogs: Beware, far-fetched drollery could become investment wisdom" in Business Day Newspaper:
BUSINESS DAY, South Africa's most influential and respected daily news provider and the only daily business newspaper in the country, offers incisive coverage of business, politics, labour and other current affairs. Our Saturday edition, The Weekender, rounds off the week by combining this with a thoughtful mix of entertainment and travel.
Its fiercely independent newsroom has a dedicated staff that strongly reflects South Africa’s demographics. The publication is owned in equal shares by Avusa Limited and UK-based group Pearson, the owner of Financial Times.
Kind of strange to be in a South African news article.
This article was basically a reprint of the Nerds on Wall Street blog post, Back into the Data Mine.

Hi Max,
I have been following your blog for a few weeks now and I have to say it is very interesting (I especially like the code excerpts)
Regarding the article it is indeed quite funny to see those correlations (correlation <> causation). One well known as well is the number of churches in a city with the number of crimes within that city (which actually makes sense most of the time since the bigger the city, the more inhabitants, the more inhabitants the more churches and also the more crimes!)
Going back to the stock market now, you probably have heard about the Baltic Dry Index which got some attraction recently from its supposed ability to be ahead of the market.
It is quite interesting to see that in July and August, the market has been up while the BDI was down... we will see whether the market loses some of its steam within the next few weeks.
Full details about the BDI can be found here : http://www.investmenttools.com/futures/bdi_baltic_dry_index.htm
Thanks,
Didier
