Oh, and congratulations to Frisco86 for having the closest guess to what the Russell 3000 index would return in Q1. There is a $25 Rudy's BBQ gift card on the way!

We'll play the same game again for Q2.I'll buy lunch (in person in Austin or via gift card up to $25 if not local) for the person with the closest answer to the following questions.
  • What will be the return of the Russell 3000 index in Q1 2024?
  • Tie Breaker: If two or more have the same answer in question 1, What country will have the highest return in the MSCI All Country World IMI index for Q1 2024?
  • If more than one gets both answers right, I'll buy you all lunch!
  • Price is Right rules, closest answer without going over. All answers need to be in the comments below by 4/15/2024.
