Dang, I expected to read about how the S&P500 was going to end in 2005. I mean, end in total disaster and TEOTWAWKI!!! Good to see threads that are grounded in reality.
since the S&P didn't travel very far this week, I suppose it would still be fair to accept predictions through sunday night 12/4. Of course, you won't be eligible for the grand prize, and an asterisk will appear by your prediction.

It appears that the EliteTrader consensus has the market closing the year at approximately these levels (1268-1271). However, the bias is skewed slightly to the upside with more votes above the mean prognistication.
