We thought it would be interesting to see how good our readers are at predicting where the equity markets were heading in the first quarter.
We therefore asked for your predictions as to where the FTSE 100 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average would close on 31st March, 2008.
And here's who's did the best:
FTSE 100
1. Carina Watney - Foreign & Colonial (prediction 5,750, actual 5,702)
2. Philip Robinson - HSBC Investment Bank
3. Gavin Brien - Citi
4. Mario Dubovici - Merrill Lynch
5. Jorge Guerra - UBS
DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL
1. Christopher Soames - Deutsche Bank (prediction 12,300, actual 12,262)
2. Anand Patwardhan - Henderson Global Investors
3. Paul Saxby - State Street
4. Jorge Guerra - UBS
5. Brad Knight - National Bank of Kuwait
So, the overall winner was Jorge Guerra from UBS.
Thanks to all who took part.
