Guess The Close

By

CNBC is wondering aloud if the Dow is obsolete and should be abolished. Obsolete? Nonsense. Our cutting edge “Where will the Dow close” contests are more than enough reason to keep the Dow alive.
So, you know the rules. It’s “Reverse Price-is-Right”: Closest to the close without going under. Entries are closed at exactly 3:50pm EST (as per the time stamp of your comment).

    Screw the DOW. The SPX closes at 652.

    Guesses on whether the S&P closes at 666 and the consequences would be much more entertaining. My guess is that at the close at 666, Mozilo turns from orange to red, grows some horns, and takes a pineapple to Pandit’s curry bum.

    “CNBC is wondering aloud if the Dow is obsolete”
    Yes. Lets use the number of soda cans you can shove up Burnett’s twat as a true barometer of the market.
