This'll be quite interesting after dec. 25th. In the meantime I have a few questions:

-How was the data collected?
-When was the data collected?
-Was a market specified for the price?

It seems it was the trollbox on BTC-e.  Not exactly the best source of information.  Also, that would tend to make it the price on BTC-e on Dec. 25.  This price will likely be $100 less than Mt. Gox, making $1600 the winner for Mt. Gox.

Thanks for sharing this info fontas.

Doesn't general well known speculation wisdom state When the vast majority of speculators expect prices to rise on the short term the price actually goes down? :D
