At the March 3rd meeting of the Atlanta Technical Analysis Society I forecasted the S&P to end March at 3980, which was a contrarian opinion since the S&P was at 3819 and the majority of analysts predicted an upcoming drop in March. It ended up for the month at 3972, which likely means that I won this past month’s contest with the closest forecast of the S&P close for March. See, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn from time to time.
Congrats! What is the prize?
I get to be the first person to guess the April month end S&P at the next ATAS meeting. That and a quarter will get you a quarter….
