Well, I don't know if there are existing algorithms or not.  I want to do
this as a little project for myself.  I am sure that in the beginning that
it will be a simple algorithm (if I am developing it), but I guess it will
need to some what learn and change based on new patterns and the addition
of other factors that will influence it.  In my previous example that
would be things like the money supply and interest rates.  I guess that I
have a lot of reading a head of me.
