John Adams Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) I have to applaud MAgox for posting his 6 month predictions here a few times. Everyone can say in retrospect how they "knew the 2008 housing crash would burst" but that's BS. Or is it? To that end, what are your answers to the following predictions for 2012. If you participate, I'll lock the thread in early January and like the stock contest that fizzled out but I will award, I'll donate $100 to your charity of noncontroversial choice (as judged by me) to the winner. Predict for 12/31/2012: 1. Price of oil: (current is $99.6/barrel) 2. Dow close (current is 12099) 3. Spot gold price (current 1555) 4. Who won the US presidential race 5. Who is the winner's VP 6. What is the Bills 2012-2013 record 7. Who did the Bills draft in April 2012 8. Will there be a terrorist attack on US soil this year? 9. What party will control the Senate after the election? 10. Will there be a swing in the DOW of over 20% either direction in 2012? 11. 1 Euro = $____. (Current 1.29) 12. If you had to invest $1000 in any Dow, NASDAQ, or AMEX company on Jan. 1, what would yield the best 1 year return? 13. Who won the 2012 Superbowl?

DC Tom Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 8. Will there be a terrorist attack on US soil this year? Well, that's an easy one, considering that a sad number of people consider either the Tea Party or OWS terrorists. Might want to make the question less ambiguous.
