A related question -- which would come out of the analysis easily -- would be if the winner's 20% weights did better than the 5% weights. The one time I've won, in '03, I did so with the largest % gain recorded in contest history. Anyone encouraged to follow my picks because of that boast should note I haven't cracked the top 10 since. Lesson: follow repeat winners. But the point is that it was a 20% allocation that really carried it to the finish. Everyone's portfolio did pretty well that year, and mine would not have won with even a 15% allocation to that pick: AMEV -- Applied Molecular Evolution, which got munched by Lilly late that year. Incidentally, I don't think Lilly got anything useful out of it, either. Cheers, Tuck
