Play the market contest

[P0P]

Starting Today I would like to try a new game that will be once a week for a giveaway, what I would like to do is simply allow the marke,t whether it be a commodity (oil. Cocoa, lumber ) or a metal like silver or gold prices, dictate the winner. The person that is closest to the closing price on Friday will win the prize at the closing bell. All entries must be posted by Thursday at midnight PST, NOT FRIDAY. Example; lets say gold closes on Friday at $1300 and you posted $1299 you would win. You can’t go over the closing price and only one contestant can win so the sooner you post the better, as the first person with the winning number will be picked for the prize. One entry per person please so we can keep it fair. I will post the stock on Monday and we're off. Simply pick a number and I will do the rest.

Closest to the closing price of GOLD this week (2/2/15-2/5/15, closing day 2/6/15) will win an OG mod, Stainless with a certificate of authenticity. Do not edit your post for any reason - any edited posts will be disqualified for obvious reasons, lol.

Lets have fun!!!!

The market closed at $1,169.70 according to Fox Business News. Markets | Commodities | Fox Business It appears my post of $1,162.00 was the closest without going over. (post 1153) I would like to donate ALL the winnings to the Krystal Clark-Irwin fund found in your business website Krystal Clark-Irwin - Mom and Pop Vapor Shop .

[Reddhott]

sad to see a game that was sooo fun to play come to this becoz people want to whine that things arent fair!!! sorry!! u have the choice Not to play!!! wooow just wooow! and that the prizes were free becoz of the great generosity of the vendor, he could have just shut the whole thing down but didnt. seems people get greedy and just cant have fun sorry to say sad really.
but THANK YOU POP for continuing the game after all the crapola that went on ...and now peeps want a buffer zone now sheeeesh......
whats it gonna be next??? srry for the rant but i liked it the way it was win or lose.

 

[P0P]

No such thing as a buffer zone IMO when dealing with numbers!

Example everyone has to be ten points apart! ok cool so we just bid 11 points LOL it still ends up back at one point whether its 9 or 11 meaning a lower or higher guess. Lets look at it this way if i transfer 20 bucks into my checking from my savings I am not 20 dollars richer. I simply changed the numbers from one account to another with no advantage.Honestly what we want is to win buy a penny and frankly i want alllll of yeah to be over if a stock crashes so i can roll it over and not pay out sometimes . I am going to be very honest I love this place and Tami and i are very grateful to be members of the vaping community( and have worked hard) and be vendors on ECF. I am me, i am not a salesman our juice sells it self and yes we have awesome juice!! I'm a simple man living in a seemingly more complex world
/sarc we are all vapors that have accomplished the most selfish act known to mankind!!! we have proven how much we love our selves by not SMOKING! pretty simple stuff and we are all enjoying it. I think we should all be proud ,we have won!!, one of the biggest challenge's we have faced on our own level of self destruction which has become past tense (I will never smoke again ever) and i vape zero nic now OOPS!! good luck everyone this week
and lets see what i can think of for stable fun rules so we can move on cheers

 

[DEAc23]

Thanks for the congrats everyone

Even though I just won I still want to play this week, so my guess is $2,323.23

Hey everyone, I apologize for not checking in sooner after I won, but things have been pretty hectic this past month. Unfortunately my grandfather passed away, and my mom flew up from California for the memorial, so I just haven't had much time to get on ECF the past couple weeks.

I also ended up having to return the original mod that I won (the DNA30 tube mod clone), as there was an issue with it. However P0P was awesome enough to have it replaced with a new device, and I received it about a week ago (it was my fault that it took so long), and I couldn't be happier with it

Here it is:

If you can't tell it is the iPV Mini 30 watt device

Thanks again P0P!

Hi everyone!

Before i get going members need to understand and i ask you too. I have been on the road for 3 months sometime's with know internet and often time's very spotty net service and cell service just a fact with that said things should improve now that I'm out of the jungle. I must and will honer as i should the member closet to Fridays close and I congratulate Greanleaf

Crude Oil 57.15 -0.59

I have also posted UM! last week (I believe) that i may make some changes so please allow me to think a little and try my best to make things more difficult and confusing to win (hehee) also from this point on i will only be issuing coupon codes it is much easier for my team ( I love them ) to process that as its in the system the same as a order and not a Email from me and that will make things much smoother for everyone involved (I like that)

So lets look forward to some mild changes in this weeks fun!

Last week was completely insane with Crude looking at the chart WOWZA! This week promises to be worse with the commodity i have in mind which along with the changes will be in my post by opening on Mon morning and Wednesdays deadline for posting ( hint) lol

Thank you all for being good sports!
lets keep the ball rolling and have more fun!

WOW! this is so nice wonderful kindness. I must tell you all i was with Krystal her husband. mom Shauna, Jimmy and the baby last weekend kinda why i was so late posting. She looks amazing. Krystal has 4 more doses of chemo and then they will operate to remove this tumor witch is now very small in size, she then has to have both breast removed. I will tell you this is one amazing, strong young lady all she does is carry on smiling with a positive attitude, we all worked together so her and Devon could have some time alone on the Island. Tami (scuba) ran her donations with the system and we have raised just on the web site $1500.00 and change and M&P donated $1000.00 to help also.Texas Roadhouse Grill (her place of employment) also has been truly amazing raising over $10,000 for her. "Sir2fyablyNutz I have no shame in admitting you almost just brought good tears to my eyes WOW! I am so, so speechless Thank you ,Thank you ,Thank you , The entire family will be here for fourth of July as long as Krystal is able. I will post some pics of this amazing person we love her so much ok sorry but i have to end this post

Thank you so, so much Greg

I am surprised at the low turn out for this contest, especially given the generous prize(s) offered. I'm guessing it may be due to people not understanding/following the markets. I for one have pretty much no clue to how all that works other than they go up & down. I do not invest in them either. But I have recently began participating. I just look at where the markets are now, see what they have done recently, and come up with my own hair brained ideas of what may happen to them. I'm assuming thats how they work in general .

 

[P0P]

This weeks closing numbers using Market Watch as a source are

Game #! Dow 16,433.09

Game # 2 Nasdaq 4,822.34

Gold = 1,107.90

Please Quote you're winning post if you are within the point spread
Thank you and good luck. I have tree prizes burning a whole in mah pocket

Thanks Pop for allowing us to play! This is fun.. even if I was way wrong.

I did expect a rebound last Friday with the employment report that came out, (especially considering August is the month of notorious lies) but apparently it didn't make anything rebound. lol..

So, lets try again.

#1 Dow - Guessing Friday's close will be 16, 426.34
#2 Nasdaq - Guessing Friday's close will be 4,354.76

lol... now lets see how this one pans out!

Here you are POP ... and I just want to thank you so much for your generosity in these contests. It's so awesome of you, seriously.

I also made an account at your store also as you have previously requested, and I will message you if you don't mind with my name and address so you know which account is mine.

To everyone who offered than congratulations; THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

To the other two winners; Congratulations to you! WOOHOO! some great prizes!

To the lurkers, all I did was guess! So what if we are wrong, its so fun to try!
