MoneyBee is a screen saver that uses neural networks to analyze stock market charts and indices to predict future trends of the indices. The client will train its neural network with old data but the goal of the project is to make good predictions from actual charts. Participation in the project is free, and all users who participate will get access to the predictions. The client is currently available for Windows, but Linux and Macintosh versions are in development. The client only needs to transfer data for a few minutes every few days, so it supports modem-users well.

Note: the site is currently only available in German. You can get reasonably good translations of some of the text, and reasonably funny translations of the rest of it :-), at babelfish.altavista.com. An English version of the site may be available soon.
