re: Final standings are on page 10: Predict the 12/31/2014 market prices.

You're in.

The contest is now closed.

I'm going to compile some stats on the predictions and post them in a little while.

Yeah, my bad. Just in the nick of time I suppose

I wasn't really planning on doing it again, but I figured... what the heck, why not? I have absolutely no basis for why I made those predictions...

Thanks

Good idea. Like Roger Maris, right?

Please check your numbers below. I don't claim to be the world's best Excel input typist. Please post any corrections in a new post. Thanks.

I am the lowest on the DOW30 prediction.

My thoughts behind it, if I am close, oh well, I win another free year at TD. If, and hopefully, I am far off, my accounts win!

See, win-win.
