> would recommend ignoring any price more than 2 standard deviations

Areasonable proposal, which I might do or just not include the two highest and two lowest in the average. I am waiting to see how the mean and median converge when more data is included.

I previously used the term "lunatic fringe" to describe predictions far from the mean ( more than 10 standard deviations) when it was intended a a general soundbite rather than directed at anyone in particular. My apologies: I want to keep the process open and objective, so I will refrain from specific comments - just tabulate the numbers.

Also, I put the data on my personal, non-commercial website, for equally obvious reasons.
