Won Myself a Talking Pedometer

I have won myself a talking pedometer in a contest, held on Facebook, for predicting 5th Sep 2008 closing value of the U.S. Dow Jones Industrial Average index. My guess was the closest and thus landed me the prize. My prediction was made before Tuesday, 4 days before market closed for the week.

I posted the most bearish guess citing pending jobless claims and employment situation to be reported towards end of the week to support my prediction. No technical charting whatsoever methods were used.
