OT: Curve fitting, why do we do it? To try to reduce errors, or noise in raw data. Can raw stock prices have errors? I mean each price was a real stock trade. Can the value of a stock really change so fast, or can stock value get out of wack with stock Price? If stock value can get out of wack with stock price, and we can determine this quickly we should be able to sell or buy the stock and make some money. So how do we determine a stocks real value? Ah, that's the problem is it not! There have been a lot of books written and sold, trying to answer that one. Maybe we should just throw a curve at it and call it a day, but then you get into what type of curve!
