What counted as right

Status
resolved
Settled on
2025-08-12

S&P 400 total return is positive over the 12 months following the Aug 2024 sell-off.

Deadline Aug 12, 2025 has passed. Best available primary-adjacent figure is the Vanguard fund's 1-year total return ending Aug 31, 2025 (+6.86%), whose window is offset by ~2.5 weeks from the exact Aug 12→Aug 12 window; the offset does not change the sign. Direction (positive total return) is unambiguous across sources. For maximal precision the later stage could pull exact S&P 400 Total Return (^SP400TR) levels on 2024-08-12 and 2025-08-12 from ycharts.com/indices/%5ESP400TR, but that is not needed to establish the criterion is met on direction. No outcome value assigned here.
