Election prediction results

[dougo]

My election prediction was off by about 150 points. However, the Dow did rise about 255 points between Monday morning and mid-day Tuesday (high of 12240), and has fallen 140 points between then and now (Friday afternoon). So I was actually pretty close, except for not predicting the last-minute spike before the election.

Of course I was wrong about the Dems not taking both houses of Congress, but only by about 7000 votes in Virginia. Thanks, macaca!

This is one prediction I was glad to be wrong about.

Also, happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Mr. D.O.

That's Dr. D.O., thank you! :)

Hey, Happy Birthday!

Not that the Dow is really the best market indicator. The S&P 500 Index rose 1.2% this week.

It didn't seem to show me my own, what was it?

Oh, yeah, that happens for everyone's icon. I thought you meant there was something special when it's someone's birthday.

So where have you been, anyway?

Completely unrelated but...

Hi I've been tracking your comment deletion problem. Just wanted to let you know I am having the same problem over the last couple of days. Also my journal decided to hide my date of birth and my location.
