Sorry I'm late, my guess for the week is $1,797. We've seen a lot of green closes for many of the past weeks so I'm going to change it up and make a guess we end slightly red after the bulls get some good playtime through to mid week.
You don't have to put me in the scoreboard this week though I understand being late.

If you predict down then your prediction is pointless anyway

Bulls to Bears,
Attached is the week 9's forecasts and it is very close to year end for the ultimate S&P500-2013 final. Just 5 weeks left. :clap:
Samspade leads the pack for over-all annual leader with Gaffs just 2 points behind. Malaguti and the bloody Weighted Average another two points behind them...
Wishing you all good luck.

Do you get points for the right direction or only for a podium spot ?

Well done to the bulls again. How close was that? I think all this hype is really sticking to my furs. I'm going to take those horns and shove'm up somewhere the sun don't shine :cheesy:
Our podium winners this week are;
...................Mean Average................ibetyou.......Weighted Average
I notice the averages have outflanked our human forecaster again.
I also don't see malaguti anywhere in the field... :cheesy:
What's going on here???? as Charlie Brown would say. This can not be happening...

* Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq mark third straight monthly gain
* U.S. stock market closed at 1 p.m.; volume light
* Retailers in view as shopping season unofficially starts
* Dow down 0.1 pct, S&P 500 off 0.1 pct, Nasdaq up 0.4 pct
By Luke Swiderski
NEW YORK, Nov 29 (Reuters) - The Dow and the S&P 500 dipped in thin holiday trading on Friday, but technology stocks helped lift the Nasdaq to a 13-year high.
The Nasdaq got a boost from the technology sector, with Apple (NasdaqGS: AAPL - news) up 1.9 percent at $556.07, Microsoft Corp up 1.4 percent at $38.13 and Amazon Inc up 1.8 percent at $393.62.
"It's almost as if people are rotating into the bigger blue-chip names, especially the technology big caps. We wouldn't be shocked at all to see the small and mid-cap names lag a little bit," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist with Schaeffer's Investment Research, in Cincinnati.
But with the both the S&P and Dow on an eight-week winning streak, investors may be cautious in adding new positions.
"We expect, and we recommend to our clients, that if they have exceeded their strategic allocation to equities, to take profit at these levels," said Paul Mangus, head of equity research and strategy for Wells Fargo Private Bank, in Charlotte, N.C.
Volume was light, with slightly over 2 billion shares traded on all U.S. platforms, according to BATS exchange data, as many U.S. investors remained out following the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday. The U.S. stock market ended its regular session three hours early at 1 p.m. (1800 GMT).
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 10.92 points or 0.07 percent, to end at 16,086.41. The S&P 500 slipped 1.42 points or 0.08 percent, to finish at 1,805.81. But the Nasdaq Composite added 15.136 points or 0.37 percent, to close at 4,059.886.
Retail stocks were in focus as the holiday shopping season gets under way. Many stores opened on Thanksgiving for the first time ever this year, but stores had to resort to steep discounts and shoppers appeared to be making careful purchases.
The S&P retail index rose 0.3 percent. Among some of the most active retail names, Target Corp (NYSE: TGT - news) declined 0.8 percent to $63.93, Best Buy Co Inc jumped 2.4 percent to $40.55, and J.C. Penney Co gained 1.1 percent to $10.19.
In the health-care sector, CVS Caremark Corp shares gained 0.3 percent to $66.96 after Wednesday's news that CVS will buy drug infusion services provider Coram LLC for $2.1 billion. The transaction will let CVS Caremark (Berlin: CVS.BE - news) bolster its pharmacy benefits management business by offering cost-effective delivery of specialty drugs.

Not sure if you got my 1820 Atilla, it was rather early last week. Probably will come to nothing again. Also noted Vielgeld is also doing 1820, so again happy to move to 1821 if it helps

Hello Bulls n Bears,
Welcome to week 10, SPX500_QTR4 competition for 2013. We have just 4 weeks of forecasting left for the end of the year and competition is pretty hot up at the top.
As it stands tonight - once again Mean Average has the spot-light. Can the bulls kick the can any further down the road? Will the bears be able to get the sticky brown stuff off their fur?
Gaffs and Mr Crabs - you seem to have forgotten to get your fixes this week.
Wishing you all good luck...
