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 can start whenever you like. I'm mainly the coallator. *grin*

I'd say we tap anyone who's interested who's powers aren't in futures or probably telepathy either. We want uncorrupted data, and it's hard to be absolutely certain with telepaths. I'd say we could ask any of:

Angelo, Bobby, John, Marie, Rahne, Terry, Jubes, Al, Kurt, Sam, Paige, Clarice, Shinobi, Sarah, Tabs, Waren, Jake, Mr. Wisdom, Dr. McCoy, etc.
Might also be interesting to get Dr. McTaggart, Mr. Lee, and Dr. Samson, for a non-mutant sample, although in theory it shouldn't make a difference.
Would probably be a good idea to not have people who would know anything about stocks, though, which would exclude people like Jake, Shinboi, and Waren, at least. And we might want to include at least one of the adults, so that we're not 'experimenting with our powers without supervision', etc, etc.

What do you think?

Yeah, I'm ready whenever you guys are. But maybe in addition to predicting whether or not stocks will go up or down, we might also try our hand at actually simulating buying and selling? Because in some cases it would probably be easy to predict things, if you read the business section of the newspaper. I mean, if a company's got a new innovation, their stock will probably go up. If they're under investigation for dodgy business practices, it'll probably go down. We should give some thought to these sorts of issues, I think.
