Help me beating David Pennock

Here is the problematic:
- Midas Oracle is updated many times a day, with interesting stuff about prediction markets, collective forecasting, and other topics. In all logic, the number of Midas Oracle feed subscribers is increasing slowly but regularly.

The winner: Daniel Horowitz of The Emergent Fool
