Guess the NASDAQ Close, Win $150 CASH!

I am on a mission to find someone that can guess what the NASDAQ Composite index will close at to the penny a week in advance. This is the fifth contest here on Stock Trading 101, and not one person has yet won the cash grand prize, which continues to grow each week (now $150 cash!). I am calling on you to end the streak.

HOW TO ENTER

To enter you simply need to leave via a comment below your guess to the penny of what you think the NASDAQ composite will close at next Friday, May 11th. You get one guess, two if you link (read below), and you can find a chart of the NASDAQ composite index right here for your aid. You have until this Sunday May 6th 9:00 PM EST to submit your guesses. $150 cash will go to person who can guess the NASDAQ close to the penny!

LINK HERE, WIN DOUBLE… $300 CASH!

Link to this contest from your blog, and I will double the cash prize to $300 if you can guess the close. As well just to make things interesting, I will give you an extra guess! That’s two guesses and a doubled cash grand prize if you get your community involved.

20-dollar-bills.jpgBut for anyone that knows me, you will find that I love randomness, and surprises are never a bad deal either. To make things even more fun, for every 10 blogs that link to this post, I will hand out a free brand new in the box 512 MB waterproof, shock proof flash drive courtesy of yours truly, me.

Post must have the following two links:

  • “stock trading online” = link to this blog’s home
  • “stock contest” = link to this post

Your post tagline could be something like this, “Blain who writes about stock trading online is hosting a stock contest to see who can guess the NASDAQ close a week in advance! If you guess right you can win $150 Cash!”

STAY UPDATED, SUBSCRIBE TO THE FEED

Several hundred other people are subscribed, and I think you should
join them. Contest updates will come throughout next week, and to make
things fun, in one of these updates I will be handing out a 512 MB flash
drive
on the house! Just a hint, speed will be key, so staying up to
date is a must! Subscribe with your favorite reader (google reader is
most popular) or even by email!

CLOSING NOTES

I think YOU are the one to claim this prize, because someone has to do it, and why not have it be you? Post the url to your own contest announcement in your comment, and you can add a 2nd guess, both of which are eligible for the double grand prize of $300. If you don’t have a blog, don’t sweat, because your guess is still good for $150.

And before I say good bye and good luck, don’t think your blog will go unnoticed, because I am the KING of “link lovin”, and I have a good feeling there will be room to make a thank you or two next week to those bloggers who get their communities involved. Now subscribe to the feed, make those posts, leave those guesses, and from me all I can say is…

Good Luck!

If I had a blog I would have enjoyed the guess and $300, but nonetheless I am happy with $150 cash, enough to take my wife out for a nice evening.

My guess is 2515.98
