If a Barron's story is suffiently influential on a stock price, it usually gets pasted by someone onto a message board (to the consternation of our copyright and reprint people).

I know Rob is partial to WSJ, but if they fumbled this story (particularly in light of the backtesting angle), that's a no-no. Of course, since they're mentioned in the paper, there could be other explanations. Thanks for commenting, Mike Hi Bill,
