If you don't know squat about booze, does that means single-malt scotch is wasted on you? Scotch is an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, single malts are a natural next step. No effort at all.:) Some are better than others - that's the problem - just because it's a single malt doesn't mean it's good. And some are peaty, some are smokey, some are light, some are aromatic, so you have to find what you like. The local liquor stores sell little sample packs that are a lot of fun for tastings. I know a lot of people that like Laphroaig, which is the smokiest/peatiest, and way too strong flavored for me. Reminds me of bacon. The guys who like Laphroaig tend to like cigars, too.

What's really at stake is bragging rights. I don't have a strong opinion as to whether the Dow will hit 5,000 or 15,000 over the next 18 months. But I am sure as sure can be that you won't see 20% unemployment in the US within that time frame.

That would be the functional equivalent of the US economy being carpet-bombed, and I just don't see the trigger. But history does tell us that no one ever really sees it coming.
