Another bit of information on the blend -- the Normalized Trough Count blend to be exact. Over the full history, 1989 to 7/19/2008, here are the # of times that the various olympic screens were selected, and the average gain.

Olympic Level    Begin Year  Avg ROI   #
Silver & Bronze     1997      3.81%    8
Bronze              1986      3.84%   81
Silver              1986      8.40%   71
Gold                1986      9.17%   380

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the measures select the Gold screens so often, even though they are a small representation of the whole potential screen list.
