Dennis I have looked at that site on a few occasions and I think it's really more of a novalty then a tool. Be careful of placing any bets based on it, although I do find it interesting. Thanks, Vendit

It claims to be 95% accurate. I looked at these guys last summer and didn't find their projections terribly useful. I think I finally figured out how they make that 95% claim. Take, for example: projected about 135 for an aol close today If AOL closes between 128 1/4 and 141 3/4, the figure will have been inaccurate by less than 5%, ergo, 95% accuracy! Especially given the number of stocks that almost never move more than 5% in a day, IMHO a chimpanzee could be 95% accurate given that metric.
