Bogleheads® contest
Every year, beginning in 2001, Taylor Larimore has run the annual Bogleheads® contest. The contest is designed to show the difficulty of forecasting stock prices.

In 2003, Boglehead Ralph Arvesen, a professional photographer, automated the Contest so that contestants can check their standings every 15 minutes.

From 2001 through 2012, the contest was run in the Morningstar forum. In 2013, the contest switched to the Bogleheads forum, where it was hosted by Taylor Larimore through 2020. In 2021, contest management was transferred to Boglehead Ralph Arvesen.
