I am a little put off by trying to predict stock.

Other than spotting that the market has some general trend it is essentially a random number generator.

I could see a case where you dumped in massive data for all aspects of the economy to spot leading indicators but I have to point out that this has been tried for a long time and to be best of my knowledge, nobody is doing much better than guessing a coin toss.
