Post your Vote! Notes/Guidelines: 1) For purpose of the spreadsheet record flat is currently based on +/-1.00% or less. Of course, everyone can define flat any way they choose. 2) Up, Flat, or Down must be clearly specified in a post in order to be listed in the spreadsheet, otherwise it'll be assumed that post was not intended to be a part of the official record. 3) It's OK to post your vote if you missed the deadline after the poll has expired and if the market has not really moved that much or especially if your late vote is opposite or flat of the S&P futures ATM. It will be up to my discretion and obviously, the more active voters will be given more leeway. 4) Starting and ending points based on official month ending close of the market. 5) The primary goal of this game is to track our performance. You can consider it a contest or as a personal critiquing tool to better ones performance.
DOWN so i'm not really sure what to make of the divergence we've been seeing in the indices as of late ... i need to do some digging up to see the last time the dj30 was leading the overall market at the highs ... if my memory serves correct from past instances this has happened i believe there was a pullback ... every time i think there's a pullback coming it never materializes ... this is one of the longest stretches we have seen in market history w/o even the bare minimum -5% dip off the highs ... pretty incredible stuff ... august is pretty notorious for some squirrelly market action ... not saying there's gonna be a massive correction ... but maybe a little red at least? we'll see
