Yeah the stats were final in late may, but I think the article said the winner wasnt scheduled to be announced until July 8?
I guess they had to bring in some experts to analyze how the 'winners' might have cheated and scuttled the top people.
One of the things thats always seemed to ring true to me is that in a lot of "skill areas", some of the stuff is really obvious and makes a lot of sense...then you learn a lot about it and figure you can take an angle on something...but you cant...then your learning matures and you know what you do know and dont know and can be very effective. But that middle ground is a danger zone, where you know enough to really screw yourself if you're not careful, but not enough to know your limitations.
"Beginners Luck" indeed.
I think it was Peter Lynch that suggested buying stocks in products you're familiar with? and of course Warren Buffet who allegedly wont buy a stock in a company he doesnt understand.
