nah, 2 weeks is still plenty of time for a 10% correction... I think everyone still has about an equal chance of winning this, even NBB.

Good luck to everyone!

How I calculated 2454.10

I looked at the NASDAQ chart and it appeared that it was developing a reverse head and shoulders. (at least on September 13, 2006 it looked this way). The value for the low between December 2005 and mid-May was 2233.44. Then the head was a low at 2012.78 in mid July. This was a difference of 220.66 points. So I added this to 2233.44 and got 2454.10. Did anyone else any “logic” in calculating their guess?

My logic was a bit simpler. 2235.8 was the NASDAQ's value the day I picked it. I figured it was also the most likely place for it to be sometime in the near future (within a year or so). Also, it was in the least cluttered spot on the dartboard.

Doug,
I think we should stop this contest right now before we lose any more money.

I knew Spike would win. He's smarter than Doug.

Spike, congrats, dude! I wonder what you've won. I hope it's not a cap with a propeller on top. I'll be jealous...
