Sincerely Yours,

I have no idea - I passed course 2 on Interest Theory and Micro, not Finance and Macro.

+233.30

Not quite as turbulent as Brad had predicted, but we can give him credit for his vote of +210 (and implied +-25).

I predict that next week will not be as volatile as this week, and the Dow will end up above 13500.


It's so easy to make predictions when I have no money on the line

It's easy to make predictions when you do have money on the line.

It's just hard to make the ones that impact your portfolio negatively.

You want to speculate on Vol? buy puts on the VIX or sell call spreads

You could make a small fortune if fear is reduced to low levels...options settle in cash.

up 0-50 for today

[Brutus Buckeye]

-150 today

[Westley]

Up 100. I'll throw out a point estimate, you can consider it a midpoint if you are looking for a range. Also, if you have actual money on the line, a safe bet is to bet AGAINST my pick.

[A Student]

It has the feel of being a relief rally today. I'll go up 101.

[hardinda]

up 150 today, international markets had a big rebound.
