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CNBC is wondering aloud if the Dow is obsolete and should be abolished.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).
GO!

So, that was just the warmup. Dow at close… closest without going under. Duh.
GO!
