Correlation does not imply causality. It will not help France's economic situation if  Maxime
Vachier-Lagrave (2722; 22nd in the world) or Etienne Bacrot (2710; 34th in the world) rocketed to FIDE
ratings of 2800. The relationship between chess prodigies and education is difficult, so we were
surprised to find correlations between chess rankings and national economic measures. Some
interesting statistical treatments in the next release.
Also in October we show that a two dimensional Fibonacci strategy for stock trading is not sophisticated
enough to deal with skewed distributions that are leptokurtic and have hetereoskedasticity. Instead, one
needs to use four dimensionals and, instead of crude lines,  curves from Cauchy distributions.
