Hi,

It is that time of year again, and we have (again) booked lunch:

Spaghetti Tree
59 Bourke Street, Melbourne
12:30PM, Friday 25th November

The lunch is free for all paid up members of the Q Group.

As usual, we will be having our unlikely predictions competition. Each attendee gets to make a prediction for the time period from this year's Q Group Christmas lunch to next year's one. We all rank them from that ranked most likely to least likely. Whoever makes the prediction ranked least likely which comes true wins!

Other than that, there will be good food, good conversation, and good camaraderie with other quants.

For the record, last year's predictions are:

Aggregate capital city house price to fall (Rob L)
ASX >= 6000 (Bill)
BHP <= $15 (Andrew C)
An Aussie wins something, any category, at the Australian Open (Celeste)
AUD <= USD$0.6 (Laurence)
A W. A. team wins the AFL (Andrew G)
Gold >= USD$1500 (David)
ISHARES Global Health ETF appreciate >=20% (Farzad)
VIX index > 60 (Jim)
WTI >= USD$100 (Matthew)
ASX <= 3500 (Oliver)
Fed Funds rate >=3.5% (Rob P)
Chelsea wins the Premier League (Boris)
Australia wins the most gold at the Olympic Games (Oscar)

Please RSVP to lirlicht@gmail.com by Monday the 21st, but the earlier the better to help us plan numbers.

Cheers,

Laurence
