Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard may never have read \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, but they happen to be among the founders of the new sciences of chaos and complexity. Who better to try to find order in the apparently unreasoned chaos of the global financial markets? Thomas A. Bass takes us inside their start-up company, following it from its inception as a motley collection of longhaired Ph.D.s to its passage into the centers of financial power, where the predictors find investors and finally go live with real money. \u003ci\u003eThe Predictors\u003c\/i\u003e is a dizzying, often hilarious tale of genius and greed.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas A.
