My 233rd place finish in the past contest qualifies me to pronounce 1670 as the absolute upcoming year-end figure!!!

These two Diehards posted in response to Taylor's post on the M* forum. Since they posted prior to Taylor telling everyone to post their guesses on this forum, I'm moving their guesses here. They are:

1. rferren = 1570

2. HerbDeno = 1585.83

Best regards,

Mel

Those who want to win stay away from my number. I've had a consistently bad record.

Joining the clueless crowd of Wall Street. Here is my guess based on metaphysics, extrapolation, and the proprietary cfs guessing indicators:

1563.42
1563.42
1563.42
1563.42
1563.42
1563.42
1563.42
1563.42

One Five Six Three Decimal Four Two

All this is based on the 2008 cfs prediction number 5 [see my blog for more info].
