An idea

[critterdude]

Big companies have management or team meetings to direct their future. Government also has a cabinet of advisors for the president and commitees for Congress.

The reason for this is that studies have shown that groups working as a team make better decisions than individuals.

This idea came to me when I recently read about a group that was making huge bank.

Here is a rough draft of what I propose:

-Create a group or club where memborship is reviewed. Could be something as simple as a Yahoo Group.

-Agree on a figure head or director for organizing tasks and schedules (Not me)

-A task, for example, would be researching a statistics for edges.

-More than one person will research any specific statistic. This insures a broader and more accurate picture.

-Members will give picks with expected %.

-Picks are tracked by member AND categorized by %

-Picks are discussed with full disclosure. All angles and reasoning are put on the table, no trade secrets. This will give much more specific discussion and as example if someone gives the statistical edge they we researched someone may site a contradictory statistic. Public forums will never get this in depth.

-As time goes on based on stats members can be identified to have areas of expertise. If they display a strength in this area it may make sense to have specialists. (Specialization is a proven success!)

Remember this is a rough draft. Things can be added, changed, or deleted. When the group forms we would need to define many things.

There would be a little work, especially innitially, but in the name of PROFIT I think it would be worth it.

So lets discuss if there is enough interest to create a club here on 2+2. If there is then we can create the club and discuss the direction of the club at our own site.
