Who are the best speculators around?  Are they on this board or elsewhere?

Whose post history tells the greatest tale of accurate prediction and keen insight?  Who was right when everyone else was wrong?

What if the best speculators are just whales of sufficient size to enact their own predictions?

Is the signal to noise ratio worth the time investment involved in parsing through many of the posts here?
If you know what others don't, why share that information ahead of time?  Are the reputational gains sufficiently explanatory?

I'm curious about the value ( both true and perceived ) of this board as a meaningful tool.  Or is it all just a cacophony of guesses, generated and read for entertainment?
