I guess I don't like the people in politics very much, to be blunt.

I'm not trying to do anything too tricky.

In politics people build whole reputations off of getting one thing right.

By playing games you can artificially speed up your learning curve to develop the right kind of thought processes.

You can build a statistical model and that's all well and good, but if you're dealing with a new type of financial instrument, for example, or a new type of situation - then the choices you're making are pretty arbitrary in a lot of respects.

Race is still the No. 1 determinant in every election.

Actually, one of the better indicators historically of how well the stock market will do is just a Gallup poll, when you ask Americans if you think it's a good time to invest in stocks, except it goes the opposite direction of what you would expect. When the markets going up, it in fact makes it more prone toward decline.
