  • What did i win?
  • You didn't win anything unless you were short the market.
    Well, I guess you did win some respect from your fellow investors
    and you can gloat for a month.
    The question is - can you guess right more than once?
    Have a good weekend.

  • @MFO Members: April will be up !
    Regards,
    Ted:)
  • Ted, you were right about the March close so I'll go along with you...
    April close will be higher than March close.
  • Guess??
    Predict! Let's have some class here!
  • April will be down. Gold will be up.
  • icyone,
    Go ahead, predict.
  • Same guess.
  • Isn't April historically one of the better months of the year?

    I'll play. I think the market will continue to tread water but will be down slightly at the end of April. But this year, go away in May. I think it will be down 10-15% by end of August.
