I find myself with some free time on my hands, and since we are back from Minnesota, I am willing to start this whenever you are, Kitty.
Who else, besides Doug and Jamie, do we want to recruit for a control group? (That is the correct term, yes?)

I could, but it would cut out the possibility of a double blind (so I don't influence the results), and would be hard to make into something you could predict. I'd have to write a serious random number generator, it'd be at least a month's worth of programing and it a) wouldn't be random (cause no random numbe generator is), and therefor b) no double blind, and c) difficult to control.
Doable, but frustrating.
Would be easier to just throw out Doug's data if it makes a serious difference, and to forbid him from talking to you about stocks. At least as much as possible.
Blast it Doug. You ought to know better. *pouts a frustrated pure research scientist pout*
