Well, it's also a lot easier to validate their choices - you and anyone else
who are fluent in English, Russian or a number of other languages can go pick
up a copy of Voices from Chernobyl, say, and give it a try. (It's amazing.)

I remember from some years ago the Hollywood Stock Exchange ( www.hsx.com/ ),

source for decisions on whether to fund movies, etc, and was fairly accurate
IIRC.

Maybe there's a similar opportunity for other fields? A Startup Stock Exchange
