This is a poll for the week of 1/1-1/5, 2024 Expires Tuesday at the opening bell on: 1/2/24 Don't forget to click the "Vote Now" button! How does Stockaholics think the S&P500 will close out the week? Starting point: **Starting point will be edited into this post after Friday's close** *Link to Previous Weekly Poll Thread* Don't forget to post your vote to be listed in the 2024 Results from the last poll (12/25-12/29) 4,754.63 4,769.83 (+0.32%) Stockaholics Voted (N/A.) (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.
so i've decided to try my hand at the weekly market direction poll games in here for the new year. i'm not sure just how consistent i'll be able to run this all year but figured i'll try it out to start. for those of you who have been a member here since before stockaholics (hsm) will remember this used to be a game that i ran in here during those years. so, gonna attempt to bring this back for another run in here haha. glta in 2024!! i think this could be a fun little game for members to participate in every week. all you have to do is cast your vote on the poll at the top of this thread. and then just simply post that vote on this thread so i know for sure that you have voted so that i can add you to my members voting record google spreadsheet. ez-pz!
looks like this did not get much fanfare from the community. therefore i'll be cancelling this week's poll (sorry @stock1234). not sure yet if i'll try it again for next week. looks a bit iffy as of now.
