Quote from rcanfiel:

Usually the "winner" of such contests is simply the person who remained at the top due to probability. 80 people enter, and a few of them make fewer mistakes than the others, happens to be short or long when the news hits the market with good/bad news, and/or overleverages just at the right time to get the big numbers.

I consider the winner of such contests as no more skilled than the saber-toothed squirrel in the movie "Ice Age" who spends most of his time in the movies dodging death whilst trying to get back his acorn...
