Taking Stock Contest

So, I realized it was six years ago today that I started in my job as a financial advisor with my company. Seemed like as good of an excuse as any to have a contest. With the volatility in the markets lately, we'll use the Dow Jones Industrial Average to pick the winner.

Today it closed at 16,449.18

Guess where the Dow closes tomorrow (2/2/2016) and the person who comes closest without going over will get a package from me.

All guesses must be posted by 2:00 EST tomorrow.

Are you a bull or a bear?

Ready..... Go!

    Well... it was another BRUTAL day on Wall Street, and the Dow dropped from 16,449.18 at yesterday's close to 16,153.54 at the bell. The guesses here were pretty evenly divided between Bulls and Bears, with 10 out of 19 predicting an increase on the day and the other 9 expecting another drop.

    If the DJIA had slipped another 52 points, Usaf06's strategy of guessing 1.15 would have worked. :)

    BUT... as it was, the BOTL who guessed closest without going over was @onestrangeonewho predicted a close of 16,101

    Congrats to the winner!! PM your addy (and your resume) please! :)
