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.

Am I sliding towards victory or what?

Mimo is right on time...too bad there are still 2 more weeks left...My crystal ball says Rob will be the winner...Doug

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.

Doug, I like your optimism, and I really hope you're right, but I think it will be more like 2,500.

Only 86.79 (3.6%) to go ...
