Hi Dinos

I should have mentioned in the PM that the entries must be in by the open of the us markets, which is 2.30pm.

This week wont count but next week's will.

Rules of the comp are on the first page of the thread.

Good luck. :clover:

Here's the position as of the end of week 10.

After a very shaky start I am now in first place with 13 points.
Behzadi second with 10.
We have 3 people in a tie for 3rd place mike, jeffre4 and sonicscooter.

Heres the full spreadsheet.

On to this week!

The estimated range has increased to 86 points this week and I'm sure we will see a lot of volatility and get close to that range.

3 bulls and 10 bears this week.
Samspade79 wants to show he's a real beefcake and has forecast the high end at 2131.
TwinToWin has kept his bearish position from last week and puts our collective low in at 2045.
The averages are forecasting a down week, but they have 1 point between them this quarter so its anyones guess.

For you stato's heres the full spreadsheet.

Working in a different timezone at the moment.

Top 3 this week, One for the bears at last!

The lack of movement in the S&P would suit people who like watching paint dry or maybe some Trainspotting.

Anyway, well done to Mike who was the least grizzly bear and wins Gold, getting within 6 points of the close.
Pat494 gets Silver.
At last Average seems to have got a medal scraping a Bronze.

 

[postman]

Whats that done to the scoreboard.

Top 3:
Postman 12 points.
Behzadi 10 points.
mike 8 points.


2 weeks to go 8 points on offer make them count. Still 12 people in with a chance of winning.

 

[Dinos]

2013.8

George Bernard Shaw once said "The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language." He forgot to mention they are also separated by a timezone.

Greenwich Meantime old chap! It's the time the world sets its watch by. In this instance 2.30pm British Summer Time (GMT +1), as I don't know your timezone.

The English invented time don't you know. Then the Americans commoditized it and sold options on it, and now its worthless.
