Shockmarket: Quant trading startup circa 1999.

Geocities is due to be shut down. Thanks perhaps to me, Archive.org is mirroring all the pages they can, but bizarrely, Geocities have anti-spidering 503 pages, so it's hard to access the pages.

i met one of the guys who came from de shaw to work there once. for one thing, shockmarket's director of technology became vpe @ mint.com later on.

What happened to it? Tracking it on linked in seems that it closed its doors in April 2001. Archive.org has web site still there in 2002.<p>"... What moves stocks ..." the average investor still wants to know. I've launched WhoMovedMyStock.com a year ago here on hacker news, seems to be very similar in concept.

I googled it and found almost nothing about what came of the startup. That is really interesting considering some of the high-profile people involved like David Shaw, Andreas Weigend, Richard Thaler
