    Gumby wins! Missed by just 155 points

    350Z takes 2nd with a guess of 9000, which was off by 224, and Rod's 8100 missed by 676.

    - Good job!

    Interesting note:
    Birchtree's guess of 17963 was off by 9087 points. The two guys (fabijo and peterson82) who guessed "1" were only off by 8775 points.

    Thanks Rod,
    I always give credit where it is due........
    I must admit that I had a little help predicting the close of the DOW yesterday from back in October.

    Recall from an earlier post by Birch...

    Birchtree's prediction of 17863


    My prediction of 8,931.50 is exactly one-half of Birchtree's.

    LOL!

    Perhaps the 2009 close will be half of your predicted 2008 close ???
