The 2nd Annual IcebergCarwash Stock Market Prediction Contest.
In introducing the contest a year ago, we indicated that the winner of the contest would win a "prize." Surely, our legion of readers scoffed at this notion. However, thanks to the efforts of FBB, IcebergCarwash's Chief Provisioning Officer (CPO), we have a very nice prize indeed, which will be awarded to the winner of the 2009 contest in just a few days.
Of course, there's no guarantee that the winner of the 2010 edition of the contest will receive anything as cool as the 2009 prize, but we will try to scrounge up something neat.
Especially if I win.
The contest rules are simple. Using the comments section of this post, tell us where you think the S&P 500 Index will be at the end of 2010. For reference, the S&P 500 closed today at 1127.78. The person whose prediction for the closing level of the index comes closest to the actual year-end result will win the contest.
Predictions may be submitted up until the stock market opens for business in 2010, at 9:30AM EDT on Monday, January 4, 2010. There is no charge for entering the contest.

it's looking pretty good for firstpob_moo
No Picks??
My prediction for the S&P 500 Index level at the end of 2010:
1175
my stock prediction is 1250 :)
1825
As firstpob_moo did pretty well for 2009, I will guess 25% up from the close today: 1393.875.
Or the world will come to a dramatic end because of the unsustainable US debt levels--in which case buy gold, like the commercials say. I figure it's probably one way or the other.
After cheating somewhat, I have decided to leave my guess at:
1300.
Though I certainly would hope for more growth.
Or maybe not, now that something like a T-Shirt is at stake. Would I prefer a T-Shirt, or a massive rise in the economy?
The fact that I even have such questions bothers me.
1515
1550 ( i hope)( I really want an IcebergCarwash tshirt!)
