Apologies (to whoever) for lack of posts

I was gone over a long weekend at a friend's wedding in the Smoky Mtns in TN. Beautiful (where the tourism craziness hasn't completely taken over).

Anyway...i'm still getting some of the new wrinkles worked out in my Excel-based stock trading system.

I did fart around with a solver-based NCAA tournament bracket picker, but i've got to add in some heavy randomness, skewed by factors associated with the stats...those upsets are just not predictable, you know...(the bracket i picked based upon my judgement as well as one where i flipped a coin for each matchup are not statistically different from the solver-picked one.) Next year, right?
