>How about a study that compares real results obtained from advice given by 10 leading "Money" type columnists.

MrB,

Interesting concept, but it would be difficult to design a protocol for such a study. I have another idea though - and I think this is even potentially more exciting...

Start an economic column devoted to just what you suggested, but don't put it in the form of a study. Do it on a regular basis, merely pointing out that X columnist (guru, or whoever) predicted Y on such-and-such a date, and that Y subsequently went south instead of north as predicted. Think of the havoc such a column could cause! Are you up to it? Are your testosterone levels sufficient for such an assignment? <g>

If all your source data were taken from referenceable and published material, I don't see how any guru could find fault with your exposing his/her vulnerable parts. At least there would be more evidence than Jones seems to have on Clinton, so to speak.
