Predict where the markets will be Dec 31, 2015!

To be eligible for the Grand Prize at the end of the year, you must make a prediction in each of the categories below. You can choose to not make a prediction in some of the categories and still be eligible to win the individual categories you do predict but not the overall championship.

Winners in individual categories will be decided by having a prediction with the smallest deviation from the actual 2015 year end prices. The overall winner will be determined by having the smallest average deviation from actual prices for all the categories below.

All predictions must be posted by 8:00 PM, January 14, 2014 and no edits to predictions after that date are allowed.

We will use the market data provided by the CNN Money website for our prices.

The prediction categories and their values as of this post are:

S&P 500 Index: 2,020.58
Japan Nikkei Index: 16,995.25
Apple Computer (AAPL): $106.25
Wynn Resorts (WYNN): $144.39
Tesla Motors (TSLA): $210.09
Euro/$: 1.1943
Bitcoin/$: 272.67
Ruble/$: .0162
10 YR Bond Yield: 2.04%
Gold/Oz: $1,203.40
Silver/Oz: $16.16
Oil/barrel (WTI crude): $50.11
Natural Gas/'000 cubic ft: $2.93
Live Cattle/lb: $1.6642

I'll be making my predictions in a follow-up post.

Good luck everyone!

By the way - thanks for running this.

You have some big shoes to fill, thanks Russian for the previous years.

Yeah, I'm a suck up but it doesn't work as well on this board as in the real world.
