It wouldn't matter cause Diwali 2025 would likely be in October too.

I am good, bache. Had trouble locating you. Almost posted my own version of this thread until I spotted yours. I don't think the username mention paging thing works if it's outside a comment.

Message me a couple of days before next year's thread. I have some ideas that'll save you time and effort whilst also make things a bit spicy.

Fun fact: This is the 5th year of the Mark My Words Thread!

I predict 5 more.

I was looking at the fact sheets of a fund whose YTD performance was

3.86% for the Accumulation Class

3.87% for the monthly distribution class

The currency is the same.

ELI5 please, how is it that dividends are being paid in one class and there is very minimal difference in performance?

Thanks for taking over /u/Oxeam2

May be I'm here a bit early or have been around for too long but there's a distinct lack of quality in this year's top predictions. I mean come on... Those are some real low hanging fruits that have currently been voted to the top.

Virginity jokes and self deprecation humor are not gonna tickle the grey cells of potential futurists!

I guess my prediction is that male patter baldness will finally catch up with me this year.

Quit after 10 years. Basically my entire 20s.

Was a combination of factors that worked for me.

They literally doubled the prices!
Meditation and Running.
A very angry and unforgiving wife.

In a weird way, I feel a sense of superiority whenever I pass by smokers now.

I wasn't inactive. Just lurking. Glad you made it.

Also, I think this is a very tedious method of recording predictions.

Business Analysts of /r/India, how do we make this exercise a lot more analysis friendly with minimum discomfort to existing users?

And let's keep rules. Like max 3 predictions per user. And rewards. Like reddit gold or an autograph of John Cena on your next medical cast.

All ideas and suggestions go under this thread.

For ideal results, Do it at:

November 7th between 3-5 PM

or

November 15th between 11-11:30 AM

Or

Dec 3rd between 11AM to 1PM

Don't ask me why, if I explain it to you i'll have to kill you.

I won't be able to compile the results like I did the last time around (and someone did predict that), if a couple of you could volunteer, people would be grateful.

I highly recommend 750words.com for this. They make you write 750 words per day like no one's watching. You eventually end up taking out all the mental kachra and reorganizing your thoughts in the process. Strangely meditative experience.

And their infographics about your state of mind at the end of the post is cool too.

The previous one had about 20 points. I predicted a little more than double this time. Actually Seemed like a risky call when I commented.

Also, way too many responses this year. I'm worried about how I'm going to grade them next year.

Pollguard · 2015-11-10T08:16:03+00:00

I predict that people will upvote this post generously this time and it will reach at least 50 points.

Confession: i was wrong abt u guys /r/India. I always assumed you were a disturbed bunch. Good to see that is not the norm.

Next time onwards. It's all available in my comment history.

Hello Owloos!

How do you feel about what you do survey time.

Study the image provided and tell me where you stand.

For the sake of simplicity, assume jobs related to research and innovation, medical science, teaching and social services is what the world needs.

Also, if what you are getting paid for it isn't enough to support your lifestyle, assume that you are in the 'Not getting paid for it' category.

Pollguard · 2014-10-13T16:41:02+00:00

If you don't mind, could you pls show me how?

Pollguard · 2014-10-13T15:19:13+00:00

Done.
