#RoundingTheEarth has a new challenge for proclaimed psychic @theurigeller

Since James Randi passed away in 2020 at the ripe old age of 92, I'd like to take up his challenge and offer Uri Geller the chance at some money for demonstrable exercise of psychic ability in a domain in which I am familiar.

I think that anyone with remote viewing skills and the ability to bend metal while he handles it should be able to do something like defeat me in a trading challenge.

I propose that we each trade from a financial account that starts with a million dollars, and see how much we can make from it in one year. At the end of each day, we can post the trades we've made during the prior 24 hours, or a running list of all trades.

Personally, I think that anyone armed with remote viewing powers should be able to outperform any and every hedge fund on the planet.

I cannot imagine that my own trading skills could surpass the performance of somebody who can read yet-nonpublic corporate documents from the privacy of their comfortable home.

On the other hand, I already outperform all hedge funds I've seen publicly report, so if he beats me, I will publicly declare that I have little doubt about his psychic powers.

The catch is that we put up our own money, and the winner takes all.

Uri, please contact me so that we can work out the details.
