NOW, YOU TOO CAN BE A MARKET GURU!!!
Everyone is invited to participate in a market guru contest for the month of August, this should be lots of fun and give you something to think about every day while watching your investments and trades...
The Contest Rules:
1) Post to me here on the open thread, no PM's please, whether you think the SP cash index will close the next day higher, lower, or unchanged...
2) Unchanged will be considered +/- 0.25% from the previous close, so if the cash closes up 0.25%, that would still be considered unchanged, or down 0.25%, that would also be considered unchanged for the day...
3) If the Index closes more than one full point in either direction, then it will have close higher or lower accordingly...
4) All daily entries for the following day must be posted to me no later than midnight as time stamped by SI in your post...
5) Please post only directly to me, I don't want to hunt around for your daily entries, if your post is not directly to me it will not be counted for that day...
6) Begin each prediction post with the word PREDICTION in caps, and then say higher or up, lower or down, or unchanged... your prediction post might look like this: PREDICTION up, or PREDICTION down... just two words, nothing more, there is no need to explain, it makes no difference why... keep it simple...
7) You can change your prediction as often as you wish, just be sure your final prediction is posted BEFORE midnight that day...
8) There are 22 market days in August, you earn one point for each correct daily guess, so a perfect score would be a 22...
Sorry, there are no cash prizes, but at the end of the month the winner will be awarded the esteemed title of "MARKET GURU OF THE MONTH," now isn't that something to aspire to...<g>
Good luck, I will also participate, but don't be swayed, my next day predictions are really terrible... I will tally the score each day and will post the leader board every morning so everyone can see where they are...
Remember, post your first prediction for Monday August 2nd no later than midnight August 1st...
Here's a link to what the daily LEADER BOARD looks like, I've been hosting this contest for the Month of July on my thread, which you're also welcome to visit and enjoy:
