Gents proposal, as it’s the season of goodwill, due to all this C19, tiers & Brexit Trade Deal malarkey, can this be deferred for 4 weeks, nothing to do at all with my 6750 prediction, honestly 😳🤥🤥
A deal with the EU (no EU deals get done until the last minute anyway so anything before then isn’t a ‘no deal’ it’s a negotiation process leading to the inevitable compromise), the French and others back down on the own goal of a UK blockade and approval for the Oxford Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine and your 6,750 prediction won’t look too shabby.
Nothing happening now to FTSE, Dow expected to open modestly up, I think its all over for those of us below 6500.
Looking like CharltonKerry but still half a day or so to go so could drop to you or go up to Golfie (and we'll never hear the end of that if it does ).
Re funds, apart from the Baillie Gifford funds, three of which I went into thanks to @golfaddick kind reccos, I bought these two funds in several bites in the last 18 months and they have been outstanding:
Janus Henderson Global Sustainable Equity Rathbone Global Sustainability
also in the bond sector Rathbone Ethical Bond has been doing well.
So going back to the competition, and since its so close, and with my dog still in the race, I just want to (again) show up front how I'm going to do the calculation. I'll calculate % vs the final index, either optimistic, currently @Charlton Kerry is the closest, or pessimistic, currently I'm closest.
Based on 6583, Kerry is exactly 1% optimistic, whereas I am exactly 2% pessimistic. Golfie is 1.3% opt. and @Covered End 1.8% opt @Daarrzzetbum 2.5% opt.
So on that basis it would be Kerry winning, followed by Golfie, CE, and then me in 4th and @Rob7Lee just edging out Daarz in 5th.
That all good?
It's not really possible to compare the first competition, as then people plumped for different indices, and some opted for more than one index, a dodgy practice we clamped down on this time. But based on the current top 5, the predictions are much more accurate this time, and I think a bit of a collective triumph for the thread
All sounds good, closed today at 6569.04, down 33.61 on the day so getting mighty close! We need a full table mind for the wooden spoon prize :-) heh @bobmunro

Too bloody right - I will accept the prize (any prize) with grace and humility.

Are you in a time machine, Rob? If so, I think you're disqualified!

FTSE just about to close ...
lol, i can predict the future, or is it a bank holiday
Just need the same drop tomorrow and I could be a winner........
FTSE closes around 6552. Now looks like it could be between @CharltonKerry and @PragueAddick. I don't think it's going to climb almost 2% for me to win. Never mind but good comp.

Right now our (you and I) % accuracy is separated by 0.1% !!
I'd say that with the Dow looking fairly solid Kerry has this in the bag.

Disagree, need a bit of luck to win this, my feeling we are in for another small fall tomorrow. To try to a football twist to it, it’s all to play for and we need to take each hour as it comes and each share must perform 110% for me to prevail, or any other load of cobblers that manager come up with.

Any new tips on funds to look into that people have found this year?
EDIT; here's my split currently, a but overweight in Americas although thats done me OK this year.
They will need to pay out on about 8 places for me to cash out.
