Apple stock forecast: What is Apple’s stock predictability today?
The predictability is the historical correlation between the prediction and the actual market move for that particular market. 
The Predictability P, ranges theoretically between minus 1 to plus 1.
This metric is an adaptation of the Pearson correlation coefficient. Negative P means the actual market move was the opposite of the prediction. Zero P means no correlation between the prediction and the actual market move. P=1 means perfect correlation between actual market movement and its predicted change. Any value of P above zero means positive predictability, the higher the better. Zero P means no correlation between the predicted and actual market movement. Negative P means the actual market movement was against prediction. For stocks we monitor and predict the Predictability P ranges generally between P=0.2 and P=0.7.
