I stumbled across something pretty wild the other day a friend mentioned an investment approach based on analyzing satellite images of parking lots to predict retail sales. It sounded like something out of a spy movie, but apparently, some hedge funds have used it with real success. It got me wondering, what other off-the-wall strategies have people come across that actually delivered results? I’m always curious about the intersection of data and decision-making, even outside my usual nutrition and stats bubble. Have you heard of any methods that seemed totally out there but ended up working?
