Is Randy Gurzi accurate? Across 51 graded calls in 3 articles, Randy Gurzi scores 33.33% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of -122.22, which means their calls were worse than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a provisional record, fewer than ten graded articles, so the numbers are not yet meaningful and they are not ranked on the leaderboard.
