JT, well sometimes your hot and sometimes your not <g>

Problem with trading just like the game is that if you make the wrong move the first month .. game over, for some time.

Same is true for all of the high risk players.

Posting trades? I intend to, once my next round has started<g>. But when my trades are consistently 100% wrong at each moment of the post perhaps I should become the very unreliable indicator.

Myself .. 1000%? never hit that well. The best I ever did was ~750%
Number 1? very few times. I spent about 40% of my time in the top 10 though. What caught my eye was the fact that there were, most of the time, three or 4 players that were consistently in the top two or 3 spots. Always these players were in excess of 1000%. There were a couple of times that they went over 10000%! Their gains exceeded the ability of the scoreboard to post!

With paper gains like those, I figured that the game controllers would have to be very tempted to use the talent.
