re: Predict the 12/31/2013 prices. The winners for 2013 are listed on page 9.

Here are the predictions by all entrants for 12/31/13. If you see a number I've entered incorrectly onto my spreadsheet, please post the correction ASAP. It's a little awkward to read across the numbers but it's how it works when you copy and paste from a spreadsheet.

I will occasionally bump this thread during the year (and you are welcome to bump it to remind me) with interim results letting everyone know how we're doing year-to-date as the year progresses.

Thanks to all and good luck!

How often are you going to update standings?

---

I'll do it whenever the urge hits me or whenever anyone bumps this thread requesting that I do so....whichever comes first.

I have everything on an Excel spreadsheet so all I have to do is enter the latest actual prices and then sort the results by percent deviation and post the outcome so it takes all of 5 minutes for me to update the results and post them.

ETA: The urge just hit me...deviation from actual prices as of 8 AM, 1/18/13.
