This is a poll for the week of 7/17-7/21, 2017 Expires Monday at the opening bell on: 7/17/17 Don't forget to click the "Vote Now" button! How does TSMF think the S&P500 will close the week? Starting point: **Starting point will be edited into this post after Friday close** *Link to Previous Weekly Poll Thread* Don't forget to post your vote to be listed in the 2017 Click the button below to view the 2017 Poll Member Voting Record Leaderboard- Results from the last poll (7/10-7/14) 2,425.18 2,459.27 +1.41% TSMF Voted N/A. Post your Vote! Notes/Guidelines: 1) For purpose of the spreadsheet record flat is currently based on +/-0.50% 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) Because of the poll expiration at Sunday midnight GMT time zone, (Sunday 4pm PST / 7pm EST) I manually close the poll around 9pm - midnight in PST, or before I go to bed. You may notice the poll says to expire on Monday, but it does not. It will expire on Sunday the date that is in this post.4 pm PST / 7pm EST is just a bit too early and I want to give as much possible time for everyone to get a chance to vote. 4) You may notice that some members have monthly and quarterly statistics in the spreadsheet. I add these based on at the start of the month or quarter taking into account past consistent voter-ship. 5) 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. 6) Starting and ending points based on official close of the market Friday. 7) 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.
1st post has been updated! but no scores to report as of this past week or the last as there were no weekly polls (first time that has ever happened for me that i can remember since i started conducting these things about 6 years ago ) edit: also my spreadsheets are not accessible at the moment, will need to fix those up and also set them to public ... should be back sometime this weekend
Going with flat. We keep inching up towards the 2,750 mark. If we don't see it by years end we will get mighty close, unchartered territory here, still a lot of undervalued stocks out there. The AMZN chart "ALL TIME" looks scary to me but it's like a slingshot, pulls back and takes off again. Interest rates still at/near all time lows. Bubbles burst but I feel like we got a long way to go before we see it.
I've been thinking that we are gonna pull back nearly every week since January. I'm gonna stop listening to my common sense. Going with Up
Welcome to the dark side young jedi, 6 months ago I thought AMZN in the 600s was ridiculous. We are not finished setting new highs this year, "with pullbacks of course" there is a specific reason why. Buy the dips, enjoy the rips..
flat sounds about right for me this week as well ... i think it'll be largely a choppy week ahead after last week's nice move up ... i feel we'll just keep grinding higher throughout much of this summer barring some crazy black swan event ... we're just now starting to breakout of the past month's range so i think it should be good enough for another couple handles higher on the cash s&p
the members poll voting record spreadsheet is now back online i cleaned up the sheet and placed all the members who have yet to join up this new site into another sheet (hidden) ... i think there were about 10 members in total who've yet to make it over here. once they do i will add them back into the main sheet. the first post of this thread has the updated members voting record spreadsheet button. here it is as well- <-- click there to view
