- 0.51 to 1%

Under 5659. These numbers are well known from the mutliple times the FTSE has passed through. It's an embarrassment that I know the relevant numbers around the current number are 5660 (low) and 5720 (high) - and above those we have 5760 then 5880, then 5980, then (probably) [STRIKE]6060[/STRIKE]* - and '6137' is one which sticks in the mind - like birthdays - but I do through the sheer repetition.

Someone ought to do a frequency distribution for all these approximate levels (they probably have) and post it.

*nah, I'm changing those to '6020' and '6080' - that looks more in scale.

+ 0.51 to 1%

I would try to give a rational reason for selecting the option I did. But there isn't one. Just a random hunch, with no real thought behind it at all.

sabretoothtigger

+ 1.01 to 2%

and 5720 (high)

Thats the one I was looking at. Somewhere round there, 2% up would seem so unlikely but this is why its not wise to walk in front of a swing

but I do through the sheer repetition.

It does move in patterns but very erratically

5660 (low

5650 I have that and 5810 is the 2% unlikely scenario


My main like about markets is they totally ironic. Factoid: Euro stocks are down for the 8th week in a row which has not happened since 1998

Irony would have us making that 2% up figure, it shouldnt happen but just because everyone expects it not to increases chances that it might!

FTSE 100 is at 5697.72 at close of play today.

So what is it going to be close of play Monday?

Its a guess. Have a go. I have.

Edit: thanks for the negative comments guys (or guy). Its a game. Let us see who the best market predictor is. Its not a serious life changing experience. Just fun.

Article 35C in the 70% club rules state

Members of the 70% club are not permitted to speculate on future events other than where such predictions are beyond on all reasonable doubt.

For this reason, I have had to pass on this vote. My apologies.

Reasonable doubt is a calculated opinion.


If you are in the market you can calculate reason.

Its not looking good for next week. I will give you that. I figure most of the bigger players will stand their ground though.

Too relaxed at the mo. Made a wild guess.

5641 but could easily be thrown by yet another "headline for idiots/wall street pooters"

Anyhoo, while we're here - any views on the oil price, is it really down to the emergency release of less than a days supply (which will have to be bought back at some point), or is SHIBOR not just blipping (twitchyness in China-land)?

Right little Michael Douglas, ain't you?

Nope.

But I realise there are different groups of people that buy & sell. I can see it in numbers you?

Its a game. I have you all.
