Christmas Eve our key index finished at 6503. Now it's at ..6502. Hard to see now what might move it more than 30 points either way. Maybe the green light for the A-Z vaccine..
I find it really interesting to see how it pans out this time, with so many more people taking part. If we stopped it today on 6502, no less than six punters would have predicted the closing figure with an accuracy rate of more than 97.0%.

The market hasn't been open since Christmas eve closure? Well not until just over an hours time. Think you've looked at two places Christmas eve price, one rounds up one rounds down!
I don't think they'll be a huge move, but quite possible a 100-200 point swing the last few days.

I was watching it on the stocks app on my iPhone. I did think it looked odd, but it also seemed to be tracking hourly prices. So why was it not open on Monday 28th December?
It's opened nearly 2% higher, in line with global markets. That suddenly takes it into Golfie territory in terms of the competition winners...

Nice! Guessing they do it based on out of hours futures trading?
Years back when I used to punt it horrendously it was based on what the Dow had done . No idea now what the futures hours are regarding the ftse just see 6666 value the devils work
Now Golfie, mate you are a Charlton fan, so you really ought to know that it ain’t over til the fat lady sings. We havent even reached 90 mins yet, let alone 90+4...😉
I agree that a lot depends on how the Dow does this afternoon. Lets suppose it runs out of steam. Tomorrow the bright but cloistered kids will return to their desks, perhaps resolving to ease off the coke, and now they are hearing, record Covid cases, NHS overwhelmed, emerging understanding of just how massive the logistic challenge of vaccinating the world is, and they think, oh, hang on. That’s how they work, right, the “markets”...? And then the FTSE will be heading back to 6500, where a few punters are lying in wait...
And no, @Huskaris, I don’t want to double my bet with you on that scenario happening.

Bank holiday
Yep, too late I realised that. Often get thrown by that, living in a country where, if a State holiday falls on a weekend, well, tough luck.

I'm surprised the EU haven't standardised all public holidays......they have pretty much done eveththing else.
Don’t worry it won’t last, I had a tip a few years ago (in my defence it was probably inside trading) to buy an unknown company shares @45p and sell when they reached £25.50, firstly I didn’t have any money then, second I mentioned to two people who sold around £10, thirdly for those who don’t know they peaked at around £29 this year. The company was called ocado, but to be fair they given my company well in excess of £25million of work, so perhaps I was correct. That’s the only time I had any advice on shares.

You left, get over it
It wasn't me who didn't realise that yesterday was a BH back here in blighty...😃😃😃
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.

Good game, lorra fun🤣
CharltonKerry leading, Golfie & CE in silver & bronze.
(Kerry was leading this morning but I misread his prediction on my phone).
Strangely, nobody went for a figure in 6500-6600 range, even though there are several punters (plus the IFA) 100 above or below.
