Fed cut rates again ... 3/4% which should mean the dollar will slide further .... or, was the rate cut already priced in ... ahhhh the joys of currency speculation.

This is turning into the "price is right". You just cut me out by a penny... :coffee:

I guess this is the one event where its not to your advantage to be one of the early birds...

 

[kidgas]

I can't tell what number entry I am, it's too early.

#30?? 148.21 (I'm clueless on this one.)

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Contest Closed ... however, there's a hook I've yet to announce....

BTW, the dollar has sank since this started ... 1.4389 is the current price. Someone missed an opportunity to pick something high!

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Ok so we have 33 total entries. (Someone missed out ... the exchange rate went as high as 1.44 today and would have yielded some clues to further direction!)

However there is a hook.

I'm changing the rules.

Each number, 1-33, has a random number assigned to it, 1-10. I'll post the numbers next week so everyone can see theirs.

That number will be reduced from your spread.

Spread is the absolute value from the difference between your guess and the closing price, minus the random number.

(FXE - Your Guess - Random Number) = Your Spread.​

Lowest Spread wins.

Examples: FXE closes at 145.00
Guess: 144.50 ~ Random #: 4 = Spread: 46
Guess: 144.99 ~ Random #: 7 = Spread: 6
Guess: 145.50 ~ Random #: 8 = Spread: 42
​

The random number can work for you, or against you.

Plus for those of you who thought they were being smart by overbidding their competitors by 1 tick, are not so safe - the random number eliminates that advantage.



So why change the rules?

It is a lesson in the Fastlane ... You can drive it, or be a passenger in it.

1) It sucks when I change the rules after you've followed all the rules and played fairly, using your brain, applying your talents, yes, it sucks....

but it also sucks when ...

1) Your franchise company changes the Franchise agreement and the royalties you pay.
2) Your MLM company changes its compensation plan causing your to lose hard earned commissions
3) Your company lays you off
4) Google changes its algorithm and your revenue declines by 90%
5) Your affiliate marketing company expels you for, well, you have no clue.

It sucks when the rules are changed and you couldn't do anything about it.

Don't follow the rules, make the rules.

The dollar has bounced back in the last 2 days ... back in the high 130's!

great, I can predict the FXE fairly accurately...
so, now what the heck is the FXE and what does the number mean?

I should open a hedge fund that deals with FXE

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Congratulations CactusWren! ... please PM me your email address.


1st) CactusWren

|139.69 - 139.51| - 6 = 12

2nd) Andviv

|139.69 - 139.89| - 1 = 19

 

[CactusWren]

Gosh... I have no idea what this is about! Talk about speculative win!

Any recommendations as to how to learn about this thread's topic? Yep, I'll try Google...
