Guess The Dow

By Bess Levin

By request this time, but we wish we thought of it first on a crazy day.
Guess the Dow begins (again).
As you know, the rules are simple. Closest to the close without going under (reverse price as right rules). Bets are closed ten minutes before the bell.
We’ll run some side bets on likelihood “guest” wins this time too.
GO!

    This competition is like when newspapers have a huge ADVERTISE HERE ad in their pages.
    Except, instead of having no ads to run, this is having no ideas to run.

    What’s the point of guessing, guest will win as usual.

    You should do the contest with notation of where the contestant went to B-School. You’d get a lot of page views then!
