Looks like you will never part with your money. 40% in 5 sessions or whatever is totally unrealistic, especially now. The closest you will ever get is the 38% hit in January...unless we get a nuclear blast in NYC or something sick. The point I tried to make before is that most of us made our guesses back when the game started, basing them on some macro event trigger. Now somebody can come out of nowhere and take a guess after a huge parabolic run and after the close of trading and say, "Oh I'll take this day thank you very much"? Kind of takes the fun/sport out of it. I thought the rules stated that a guess had to be at least 2 days out. Whatever, nobody is ever going to win this game anyway. How about we make a game out of that? I vote never beginning today.
