    think the DOW will end for the day.
    Pick a number, above or below zero, that you think the market will end that day. Prizes (virtual) are awarded at the end of each month.

    · One bid per participant [includes all 3 lists]
    · Bid reservations are not allowed
    · Overnight Prediction Bids: Window closes at 6:00 am EST
    · A List: Window closes at 12 noon EST
    · B List: Window closes at 3 pm EST
    · Bids for the Overnight Prediction List can be made after the closing bell, and posted on that days’ Prediction List, or on the Overnight Prediction List.
    · All bids will be considered positive if no +/- (up or down) designation is included by Windows Close.
    · Triple Crown Winner: 3 consecutive days of winning in the same place.

    Just a few notes:
    1. Today is the last trading day of the week since tomorrow is Good Friday and the NYSE is closed.

    2. I got a message in my mail about Vlad's International Tax Preparation and sent in the TTOL Hedge Fund paperwork to the URL address. Hey, the price was right and I figured I'd help out. They didn't say when we'd get our refund, but at least they said "thank you."

    3. I may be out more than in again today. Busy with aching and outdoor work.

    Here's the market info -

    What? You mean I have to go 4 full days without another bid?

    Vlad's has a secure Internet connection, right?

    Right???

    And...I'm not sure we're getting a refund. Which deductions are we claiming?
