@SirCryptomind It’s bogus to use the higher number when many people here bet on the assumption that 4796 ish was the target. How are we supposed to account for the use of the less obvious non-standard number?!? This is an obviously unfair decision.
Who else bet assuming the high would be the highest close instead of intraday??
@BTE this sounds like haterade that should be directed to Scott Alexander instead of those asking him the questions and relating the answers. Besides, market is going to the moon this week; trust me!
Scott does not run ACX Bot, he just makes the questions. The bot is run by a Manifold Staff Member.
Haterade, I love this! @AlQuinn To infinity and beyond!!!
@SirCryptomind I genuinely appreciate the effort you are putting in to track down the details and current info on these markets!!
@AndrewHebb What I mean is literally no journalist or market talking head is using the intraday high as the benchmark. The reference to it in the comments here is the first time I saw it after reading dozens of article on it the last week or so.
@BTE but the question isn't asking about the commonly used benchmark. It's asking about the all time high.
@AndrewHebb I was assuming the closing high was going to be what was used. Usually if you use the intraday high you specify it otherwise it’s assumed to be closing high.
@BTE these markets of famous bloggers usually resolves however they decide their predictions have gone
Hey I'm just trying to do a coinflip guys, can you eat my limit order? It's at 42%
I bought it down from 50% to 42%, so you just need to correct me
@SirCryptomind It’s a shame that literally nobody references that as the high. Not when you google it at least.
@BTE Yea I understand. Had to email him just to get clarification to post to here and Metaculus.
But Scott doesn't run ACX, he just runs the contest, so he could not edit it anyways.
Last 13 hours of market trading for 2023 starts tomorrow
I put a small limit order of NO at 50% if anyone wants to snatch it up, expires 30 minutes before market open 12/29/2023 9:00:00 AM ET.
Last 19.5 hours of trading for 2023 to make Tax-loss harvesting trades, lots of selling.
(Tax-loss harvesting—offsetting capital gains with capital losses—can lower your tax bill and better position your portfolio going forward.)
@SirCryptomind I do TLH opportunistically throughout the year; doing it at year end seems less efficient
@AlQuinn I agree, do the same. I am just going off of 2020-2022, which is really not good measurements of TLH since we were in and coming out of covid and the whole WSB and meme crap.
I got some Nvidia and will either hold for 1 year or take TLH on it next year if it drops 10% or more to offset gains in Berkshire.
