  Since when do newspapers write about the lack of something happening? That's sort of anti-news, isn't it? I could potentially see them writing something like that as a throwaway sentence in another article about the company, but the phrasing you've quoted is incredibly awkward and would probably never make it into a real news story. Also, an algorithm doesn't have to be perfect, it merely has to be right more often than it's wrong. So what if you get a few false positives and a couple of your trades blow up? That's why you're managing a portfolio and not dumping your entire assets into a single trade.
