There are not too many rules, but the last two picks both break them.

You can't pick a number already taken and each guess must be rounded to 1000's. (ex: +201,000, -14,000, +195,000, +176,000, -5,000, etc. - no 100's)

HEY

If someone, can I change my number?

Hey RMI,

I did opposite what I pick the number in here and IFT out of I fund (too early) yesterday for a lost. As I expect SPY will hit $169 target soon (maybe Jobs Report will do it).

You can change your predictions up until the deadline, if you'd like. Just use "Reply with Quote" of your old pick, and post the new one..
