The winner.
Nice job, Strabo. Double points for actually logging in with a username. Unfortunately, today the prize was just a bop on the head.
So, that was just the warmup. Dow at close… closest without going under. Duh.
GO!

    Market gets dropped like a hot rock final 30 minutes of trading. I’m calling DOW down 350 from current levels.
    Current level = 9084.31 – 350 = 8734.31
    That’s a decrease of 385.3 because I moved the decimal over 4 times.

    How weird would it be if the market doesn’t swing dramatically in the final 10-15 minutes today?
