I don’t know about ‘stock buyers,’ but hedge fund managers do their due diligence, analyze financial statements, visit physical plants, assess corporate culture, speak directly to managers and CEOs etc. They aren’t day traders relying on tips and rumors. I guess it’s too bad we can’t do that sort of due diligence.

Keep your heads on the scout and the game, 1 by 1, until the confetti falls. Better than all the rest but play hungry.

I don't think Uconn players or coaches care where they are. It's the fans that do. If winning is motivation enough than I don't know what is

Whether you are 1 or 2 doesn't matter as much as who 3 and 4 are. To me the UCLA will have a lot of trouble with Texas and South Carolina already showed they can beat them. If UConn plays their best there are no teams in the country that will beat them, they just have too much top tier talent. That doesn't make them unbeatable but UConn would need to help out a little.

Even Hedge Fund Managers are not guaranteed, unless they have inside information, or the game is rigged.

Sure. But the adage you referred to is more relevant to day traders than investment professionals. Due diligence isn't a guarantee of any future performance. But it's not the same as trading blind and hoping the past presages the future without further ado.

I'm not sure how it applies to fan speculation about upcoming games. Are fans more like day traders or investment professionals? It probably varies.

Remember the year UConn beat Miss. State by 60 points? The very next year, Miss. State came back to beat UConn in the Final Four. (Ending UConn's 111 game winning streak.)

I am liking that the Creme brackets have UCLA & Texas together, as Texas is the only one who beat UCLA this year, and USCarolina is coming off a Texas defeat, and they have 4 games to get over it before meeting UConn in the FF should all the others not named UConn make it to the FF where UConn will be waiting for them. 😎 🔥 😎 😍😍😍

Go Huskies!!!

UConn starts with a tall post player in Serah. However, our best offense and defensive team comes in at the first substitution. Enter Blanca then the havoc gets more intense. If no foul trouble and everyone is on their game this group of five is dominating. South Carolina, Texas and UCLA have tall post players that play plenty of minutes. Can our quickness hold up to their height? Can their height hold up to our quickness? With K9 and Allie subbing in to give our starters a break the tenacious defense doesn’t stop. Even though Sarah is a few inches shorter than Betts, Okot and Oldacre I believe that she can handle her own if need be. Even though I think that UC can beat any of the other three #1s I would rather match up Dawn. And, I believe that quickness will have the better outcome than height. We’ll find out soon enough.

We may find that Jana handles the big bigs better than Serah as she is a bit taller and (I’m guessing) stronger. Either way, I’m super glad that Geno went out and got Serah (and Heckel) as both have been good for us and both seem to be improving at just the right time. I believe Heckel, before it’s over, may turn out to be among the best transfers ever! Serah meanwhile, has given us good minutes and is looking way more aggressive and confident as we head into these final six games!

Don't make it sound like all hedge fund managers are saints. How many of them are sitting in jail? I bet WAY above the national average. Sorry, I digress...

LOL, you're guaranteeing that there are no guarantees? 😊
