A story in the business section of the paper today about the U of Chicagoand Harvard grad economist, who took $5000 of his familys money and two years to develop a handicap program. He lost his/their money. He is now a stock analyist and economist. Why do those
people who use our money to bet on the future of the economy think they are any different than us? At least with us, it is a hobby and we use our own money.

Who can predict the future?

That is a good point Tomcat. It amazes me how much confidence people put into others and how little confidence those same people have in thier own opinion. See at it the racebook all the time. Folks asking others who they like and then wagering on whatever was said. Having said all that, lets start a new poll on the topic...:)
