How to enter your replies:

 

Let us assume, you think that the lowest DOW reading in the above mentioned period will be 8346 points and that the lowest NASDAQ reading will be 1438 points. 

 

Just enter:   8346   1438      ( Please enter whole numbers only )

 

Notes: I shall prepare a summary of all valid entries and remove any unwanted words or decimals, eg. a reply of " above 8346    1438.6 " will be amended to read " 8346      1438 ".

 

Should you enter: " 1438       8346 "  ,then I shall amend this to read  " 8346      1438 "

 

Obviously, the DOW reading will tend to be higher than the Nasdaq in this period.

 Rules of the competition.

 It is rare but possible that one participant may win both prizes !

 

Please note that you may only enter your reply or selection between 7 am. and midnight,( NZ time )!

 

 Any entries / replies made between midnight and 7 am. will not be valid and will be excluded.

 

To decide the winner, the closest entry must win. If there are 2 prospective winners in one category, then the earliest entry wins.

 

The discussed DOW / NASDAQ readings will be those recorded at the end of the days' trading and will be obtained from the New York Times. These readings - which are to 1/ 100 of a point - will not be rounded to the nearest whole number.  

Should my computer be out of action, then the readings will be taken from another source.

 

I shall make an occasional entry under the previously mentioned Topic of the Message Boards so as to keep you informed.

 

You may also want to comment from time to time, using this Topic only ! May I suggest that you keep these comments to a minimum as otherwise the Message Board could be clogged within a short time!
