Should I Buy Stocks Now or Wait Amid Such Uncertainty? (RJF Stock Prediction)

Abstract

We evaluate Raymond James prediction models with Modular Neural Network (Emotional Trigger/Responses Analysis) and Ridge Regression^1,2,3,4 and conclude that the RJF stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+6 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold RJF stock.

Keywords: RJF, Raymond James, stock forecast, machine learning based prediction, risk rating, buy-sell behaviour, stock analysis, target price analysis, options and futures.

RJF Target Price Prediction Modeling Methodology

We consider Raymond James Stock Decision Process with Ridge Regression where A is the set of discrete actions of RJF stock holders, F is the set of discrete states, P : S × F × S → R is the transition probability distribution, R : S × F → R is the reaction function, and γ ∈ [0, 1] is a move factor for expectation.^1,2,3,4

F(Ridge Regression)^5,6,7= $\begin{array}{cccc}{p}_{\mathrm{a}1}& p_{\mathrm{a}2}& \dots & p_{1n}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{j1}& p_{j2}& \dots & p_{jn}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{k1}& p_{k2}& \dots & p_{kn}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{n1}& p_{n2}& \dots & p_{nn}\end{array}$ X R(Modular Neural Network (Emotional Trigger/Responses Analysis)) X S(n):→ (n+6 month) $\sum _{i=1}^n\left(s_i\right)$

n:Time series to forecast

p:Price signals of RJF stock

j:Nash equilibria

k:Dominated move

a:Best response for target price

Conclusions

Raymond James assigned short-term B1 & long-term Ba3 forecasted stock rating. We evaluate the prediction models Modular Neural Network (Emotional Trigger/Responses Analysis) with Ridge Regression^1,2,3,4 and conclude that the RJF stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+6 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold RJF stock.
