I will post the official numbers later tonight, but by my preliminary calculations your guess of 371 was essentially dead-on the weekly total of 370.6 and I don't know how you could have been much closer.  |
So, if two of us were within 1%... do I get a bonus also? |

Dave has gone missing because he obviously doesn't want to pay me the 1% bonus, soooooooo...
This week's guesses are:
INWB: 294 points
Vetelmo: 420 points
Yandig: 515 points
Grim: 1000 points
So far this week (not including today), the Dow has changed 178.73 points by my count. |

No, not really... and you only get the bonus if you WIN not if you place or show. Work has been murder, I haven't been on in about a week. I will take care of last week's payout and this week's contest tonight. If there are only 4 entries no payout this week anyway; need five players to pay. |

Really, I'm just hoping to take some of Grim's money and benefit from the wonderful predictive qualities of my market randomness model.
I think I might be close again this week, knock wood... excuse me, in the time I typed that the Dow dropped 30 points.  |

FYI - Thats 420 for Vetelmo.
For next week the model recommends I go with 340 points, and guesses Tuesday for the biggest move. I will listen to it. |

It's not that type of contest. Check out the first page for rules on how to play.  |
