Hello, this may be a question that cannot be answered.  But using
advanced data mining algorithms that are in R and merging with real time
data feeds - is anyone out there actually making any excess  returns
(adjusted for risk) in the markets?

If you're not so concerned with the "that are in R" part of your question, the poster child for such success is Jim Simon's Medallion fund at Rennaissance: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601213&sid=aq33M3X795vQ&refer=home
