Is this possible?

Hi Guys,

I am new here, and (ashamedly) I don't know anything about coding or the stock market! But, before you click the back button in disgust, please hear me out ..

I understand that news headlines play a huge role in public confidence, and therefore stock movement. I am currently researching how the 'typical market expectations' effect this movement. For example, if the expectation is for a stock to rise by 20%, and a merger is announced which reports a rise of 15%, the stock price may fall instead of rise. This simplified model explains some of the irregularity in the market.

You all know this I know, I am a complete novice .. BUT, I have a lot of common sense and business sense. I have several successful businesses and I learn super fast.

I have some questions that you will find dum, but please answer them;

1. Is the search for a coded 'system' to predict share prices a reality or 'pie in the sky'? Has anyone ever come close or is it a new field of research?

2. Despite the fact I don't code, I do specialise in problem solving. Is there any way I can help this community in finding a solution to the problem?

Thank you,
Darren
