A Beginner’s Guide to Short Term TradingSun Tzu’s Art of War for Traders and Investors

 The winners of this contest will receive one of these books, signed by “Woodshedder,” and mailed by me at no expense to the winner. Each book is destined to be worth less by the time it is received than even before I sign it.

The Rules:

  • Each participant must guess where the Nasdaq Composite ($COMPQ) and the S&P 500 (SPX) will close on December 31, 2007.
  • Each guess must be time-stamped before midnight, Wednesday, December 19th.
  • Entries will be recorded in the comments section of this thread.
  • A Beginner’s Guide To Short-Term Trading will be mailed to the person who has the closest guess for the Nasdaq.
  • Sun Tzu’s Art of War for Traders and Investors will be mailed to the person who has the closest guess for the S&P.
  • Both books are slightly used. I just happen to have 2 copies of each.
  • If the winner does not want the book, then I’ll mail it to the 2nd place entry. No prize substitutions.
  • Don’t waste time with multiple-identity guessing. The blog records IP addresses for each comment.

Submit an entry and prove your time machine is better than everyone else’s.

  5. haileris says:

    iPods were promised, book-larnin’ is for witches.

    P.S. making a prediction before the day of the deadline is fucktarded with market timing (or obscenely good/confident)

    Also, Bob Barker may find it acceptable on The Price is Right, but whomever predicts numbers that are 1 above or below previously posted numbers is an asshat. just saying.

  6. Woodshedder says:

    The Fly is scared to participate. What a pussy.

    The haileris is scared too, but wisely, he has bought himself some time.

    But, I refuse to pay for them, hence my participation in this homo game.

    btw .. excuse my political incorrectness; homosexuality is gay.
