Duker, I agree with your cynical view of these and other "forecasters." Didn't Buffet say something to the effect that forecasters exist to make psychics look good? I believe the same is true here. I hesitantly presented that forecast on the thread in the name of full disclosure. Wouldn't want anyone calling me a Perma-Bull now, would I? I wonder if Advanced Forecasting can predict whether I am going to have to relieve my bowels before or after my second cup of coffee tomorrow? It is highly likely that you will relieve your bowels before your second cup of coffee. If not, then the probability moves to your relieveing your bowels after your second cup. That'll be $5000 please:-) Brian

Duker, "I am bearishly sanguine about the ability for anyone to forecast either a recovery or a correction in this business....I wonder if Advanced Forecasting can predict whether I am going to have to relieve my bowels before or after my second cup of coffee tomorrow?" Now that's funny!!!!!!!!ROFL BB

Duker, we're all forecasters. We may not put it in writing and charge $ for it, but we forecast in our minds. Otherwise we'd have no basis for selling, buying or holding. Gottfried
