    I guess it was closer than when you said there was a chance of 12,500. I'll give you that.

    I do financial and data models for a living.

    If I was off by 10x and had to revise my models 4 times in a month, I'd be fired.

    If my financial data modeler weren't putting newly available data into his model, I think I would be annoyed.

    So would I.

    What would annoy me more is continually getting it wrong once more actuals are enterred.

    If you need a modeler to tell you what already happened you're getting ripped off
