So the latest name for my historical stock screener project is Midas’ Data Miner… It’s good symbolism for what I hope to accomplish with an investing strategy some day.

Besides, mythology only ever contains a grain of truth(if that). For all we know, King Midas owned a MacBook and traded stocks online, and the bards merely fancied telling the tall tale of him turning trash into gold with his finger tips, rather than the dull truth of his amassing of wealth in bonds and shares— Not at all anachronistic, right?
