How are we at predicting

First of all, please do not flame me if this question has already been posted or if the information is out there and I did not find it. If this information is out there or if there has been a similar posting, please just kindly refer me to that location.

Here is the question:
I was just wondering what the statistics are for us as a group to actually predict thing correctly. I vaguely remember one stock trading at 40-something that actually came true and paid long. I think that it had to do with would Blue ray or HD-DVD have more titles. I think that HD-DVD had more (as much as that really helped). I am not sure that the stock price at the delisting is really a fair measure. There are a number of stocks that by the time the stock is delisted the issue is self evident - for example if the Jules Verne rocket launches. I would say that a better test would be the stock value when the issue is still in doubt - so one or two months after the listing.

Anyway is anyone keeping statistics on how as a group we are doing?

I think t one of the admins recently posted that what you suggested would be a future addition to the game so we could not only see how well we do at trading stocks but guessing the correct outcome as well.

I think that knowing how a group does as a whole is important as well, because then you know if you are doing well or not and whether you should continue buying and selling as you were originally.
