Wallstreet Instuctions: Click the Up button if you think the stock end the following market day higher than the current price; down if you think the company will end lower. If you aren't sure, that's OK, just make your best guess based on whether you feel the current price is too high or too low. Or, just look at the company name/logo and click Up if you like the company, and Down if you dislike the company.

So, something a bit less than random is what I read.

@jan @Zacharias

and you too @Pleco

Predict Wallstreet claims to "harness the collective intelligence of online investors." :whistle:
Then they diddle the numbers using their own <trade secret> methods.

They say they've beaten "the market" by 2.9% over the past ten years, a claim which I'd characterize as "Important, if true."
AFAIK they weren't active on AMT prior to November 2014, so I suspect that the same method hasn't been used for ten years.

Someone probably mentioned her rejection rate again.

I sell comics on Ebay and do pretty well. No one has tried to screw me like that yet. Being in a rural area Craigslist kind of sucks.

Yeah 99% of the time everything will be alright. I've personally never had any trouble, but my dad was scammed out of $1k and they absolutely refused to help. Pretty shady business ethics when you actually do need help.

 

[jayjay]

Yeah eBay/PayPal sucks big time for sellers. I only sell things on Craigslist now

craigslist always seems a bit sketchy though.
Im not sure what safety policies they have.

TL;DR - [MOD EDIT]

I understand requesters may come here and that my summary was rather concise. However, I think it is accurate that these instructions mean to pick whatever you want to pick. Possible ways to choose what to pick listed in the instructions:

1. If you think the price is going up or down.
2. If your gut says it's going up or down.
3. If you like the company or not.
4. Look at the name logo.

The gist of the instructions are try to predict the price movement. If you don't know, pick anyway.

Edit: Oh neat, I didn't know the mod edit gave a message just for me. I'm going away again now. Sorry for the disruption.

Back in my less than savory profession days I had a Gucci backpack I wasn't using anymore so I met up with a guy at a local casino parking lot. He gave me $500 for it (about 2/3 what I paid) and we went on our ways. I went to the bar and the cocktail waitress told me that I had given her a counterfeit bill. Anyways he had bleached $5 bills into hundreds and I was out $500. Luckily they knew me there and knew I wasn't trying to screw them.

[gerg]

I love when a survey has ridiculous ACs and MCs in it and then I get to a page with a bunch of "answer along the scale" questions where the endpoints on the scale have nothing to do with the question...
