Weekly forecast for S&P 500 cash 2011

1310 for me

1180 ... After the Kobe quake, Nikkei lost 25% in the aftermath ... this quake has TOTALLY different dimensions ... I could not understand that market did not fall on Friday ... COMPLACENCY at its best ... SCARY is that next Friday in equity markets big expiration is looming ... IMHO ... this will create HAVOC ... be careful, when the machines look out for buyers ...wish you all best of luck!

1270 for me this week.

1180???

average = 1282
weighted av = 1286

4 up
7 down

I am going to put my forecast in a little early for Friday the 25th...
I am torn between 1289 and 1253 by I will go with the lower of the two so 1253 it is!

For Week Ending Friday 18th March at 1279.2

Well the average won this week. I suppose really it should be in the middle of the group ?
hwsteele came a creditable second



( Would players like it to be a quarterly competition ? i.e. reset back to the starting line after next week? I propose to be democratic and go along with the majority view )

you are off the mark early this week hw
Like you I am inclined towards down and will go for 1260
The Libyan situation has turned into a fiasco now that Gad's tanks have enterred Benghazi. The politicians are fiddling while Rome burns as usual
