10% nominal dollar drop? You did say "way down", and 10% as a nominal drop is pushing it. If it was something like a real per capita drop, it would have to be bigger. If it was percentage point drop in the percentage of GDP it would be less than 10 percent needed. If it was a percentage drop in the percentage of GDP, than more than 10 percent (25 to 15 percent of GDP is 10 percentage point drop, but a 40 percent drop) You probably mean 10% nominal dollar drop, in which case I'm ok with that, even if it somewhat debatable as "way down", its enough to not be unreasonable in terms of fitting that criteria. So from $3.8bil to $3.42 bil or less. Not sure the logistics of the be are worth it for the $10 (esp. for any third party who would presumably make nothing), but I'm not going to back away from putting my money on the line if you actually want to be real cash. Since its a fairly low amount of money, and since we probably don't both know any third party on SI better than we know each other maybe we just keep the money ourselves, but if you do have a good suggestion for a third party who's willing to make the effort I'm fine with that too.
