For those who dare! Make your predictions for both of these dates (12/31/10) and (6/30/11) for the following:
Yen/US Dollar exchange rate (now 81.3 yen per $US)
US Dollar/Euro exchange rate (now 138.9 $US per Euro)
US Dollar/Aussie Dollar exchange rate (now 0.986 USD per AUS)
S&P 500 (now 1,184.71)
US Unemployment (U6) (now 17.1%)
US Consumer confidence index (now 48.5)

You can just predict some items if you wish.

It will be interesting to look back on this.

Higher than I thought at 58.5.
the Euro did better than I thought too ... looking for unemployment.

Thanks Thunderlips! I've wanted to close this post up!
I was really close on that one (over by 0.1%). My S&P 500 guesses were way under. I underestimed the power of easy money.
I didn't think the euro would stay as high either...
I prefer U6 to U3 or the other indices, but that is another discussion....

The participation (comments) was OK, but at least thousands looked at this...thanks again.
