Fundamentalist, someone already has 4410, so you'll get 4411 unless you tell me otherwise before the entries close.

little woman - I see under "Previous Holders" above, you have already won it for December this year, I would be very grateful if could please tell me where the FTSE will finish on August 27th 2004. Ta. xx :-))

Prod

Prod, ask me again at close Aug 27! Are you going to enter?

There were 59 entries in January, so far 40 for February, when the numbers pass 100 it'll start getting really interesting.

4415 please

4434 please, good to see the response you're getting for your efforts

Well done beardy!!!

well done,beardy.4358 for feb.thanks little woman

Please don't forget the deadline for Feb entries is tommorrow (Monday) morning 0800 (market open).

My guess is 4521

regards

Peter

The February competition closed at 0800.

The consensus view is 4420

It was disappointing to see the number of entries for February (51)
sightly down on the entries for January (59)

MoneyAm give the winner an excellent prize, so it'd be great if everyone could "have a go". Entries are taken for the following month at any time up during the previous month.

Gold-doggy (good-doggy) a pint of Bods - no problem!
