Right now, markets are on a knife's edge as Europe's debt crisis continues to spiral out of control with no end in site. This weekend brings several events which many investors may want to de-risk before:

The UK remains in a hung parliament scenario, with negotiations ongoing to see who will form the next government Germany has local elections this weekend which will determine support for Chancellor Merkel heading into negotiations about the Greece bailout. European leaders are holding crisis talks over a bailout system for Europe's troubled states. Guess the Dow close in the comments and win a $100 trillion Zimbabwe note!

Closest wins!

I have a half dozen 100,000,000,000,000 mint Zimbabwe notes. I bought the group of them on EBAY for five US dollars. I probably overpaid for them by about $4.60, but they make me laugh so it was worth it.

Good one, dead.

I have heard that the original value of the paper is more valuable than the Zimbabwe notes.

The market closed at 10,379.00.

It looks like Principled in post 18 takes the prize with with a guess of 10,318.

I think that's correct?

According to MSM Money’s conversion factor it should be $260,000,672,361.74 US.

I’m glad I don’t trust them on this one...
