Re: Could somebody help me with stock market app question?

[Heinzelmann Matthias]

Hello swarm-group and especially Paul, 

There should be a few stock-market apps out there. Tim E. Jares wrote on
noise traders in the book "economic simulations in swarm" which I don't
have any ressources on right now, but it was published by core
swarm-people if I'm not mistaken. You might also have noticed a CFP on
this list for the follow-up book, "financial simulations in swarm",
published by Alessandro Perrone (I think among with another person) of
this list. That book is not out yet. 
I have written my master's thesis on financial simulations in Swarm,
though It doesn't include much on noise traders. I'd be glad to give you
some of the code, but it is written in German and I doubt it'd be useful
for you. Contact me if you'd like to hear some more from me, Paul.
