The Wisdom of Crowds Experiment

Mine was 4980 so not so close. Yeah I think we should do it again and try and get some more guesses.
 
So closing price according to ft.com - 5130

4 points out !!

This thread might gain a bit of interest, so same again next week?

Email me your guesses by 4.30pm on Tuesday ...

Let's see how close we get next week!

How about we make this a bit interesting.

I will trade out the average of the guesses, nothing too big, just £1-£2/ point. Quite how I do this... well I will need your suggestions.

Closest guess gets half of the profit (if any) which I will paypal to them.

I will take the risk and of course half of the potential reward.

What do you say?
 
I'm up for posting an estimate each week. Despite being way out first try, although I suppose this helped bring the average up :cheesy: .

If anything it will increase my interest within the indices. (y)

Charity mate..;)
 
Sorry guys, been a bit side-tracked this week ...

No guesses either for this Friday so far :(

Let's give it one more go. If we can really get some momentum going, then I like Black Swan's idea of giving something to charity if the concept starts turning a profit.

Guesses by Wednesday 4.30pm (31st August) for FTSE close on Friday (2nd September).

If the interest dies this week then I'll ditch it.

Cheers

Interest has died for this experiment as only 2 guesses this week. Thanks to dan1986ccfc and Vorbis in any case.

Mods - please close this thread.

All the best
