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.

Market Flat as since May there has with one exception been a green candle then a flat or a slight red. The one exception was a slight green. So based on the past October is flat. So that is the charts, but politically if they the lawmakert look to be passing legislation to repatriate overseas earnings then expect the market to respond positively as historically this is more likely to result in increased dividends and buybacks.
voting up... i dont know how it continues to run, but unless earnings suck from the majors, looking like another up month.
FLAT but it was a close call for me between that and up ... i could see some volatility come through this month though, but don't know if we'll ever see that -3% pullback on the SPX this year. i think if it doesn't happen this month then i don't see it happening during november or december, which would be the first time an entire trading year has gone w/o a minimum -3% pullback on the SPX. pretty remarkable year this has been. it just continues to amaze me personally.
@stock1234 looks like you might have forgotten about this poll hope you see this before tomorrow's open!
Up. Yeah sorry Cy, there were so many polls and contests at the start of the month and i didn’t have time to double check yesterday, thank you for extending the deadline
