John C. Dvorak and Andrew Horowitz will also participate in the contest so that listeners can see how their guesses compare – keep a watch on the live updates to see how you stack up against them.
Winners will be announced on the podcast following the date each CTP closes.
Closest to the Pin winners will be determined by the absolute value of each guess. (Example: If the closing price is $10.00, and 3 guesses are submitted at $9.00, $9.90 and $10.25, the winner is at $9.90. Alternatively if the guesses are $9.00, $10.05 and $9.90, and the closing price remains the same at $10.00 the winner is at $10.05.) This means you are not penalized for being over or under a price. In the event of a tie, the earliest entry will be chosen as the winner.
Prizes can only be shipped to a U.S. address. Winners outside the U.S. may provide a U.S. address for appropriate forwarding.
We retain the right to disqualify anyone and any entry for any reason – because we can.
