You're a ding-dong and you know nothing, but it was a damn good call.

Prior to the surprise rate cut, the market was anemic again today. One wonders what would have happened if the Fed had not intervened?

David - <<Lightening Rod Brinker and I part ways in one important category - the exogenous event category. Bob seems to place little weight on the "exogenous event" category until after it has disturbed what might otherwise have been a brilliant call of his. There are numerous examples of this going back the last decade. Perhaps I am a little bit more cautions, or pessimistic, but I always wonder what if? What if we went to war? What if Greenspan got seriously ill? (which I hope never happens). What if terrorists bombed the stock exchange? What if Cisco announced that its earnings are way below expectations? Too many "what ifs" for me to place that much stock in predicting the exact bottom to a given day. (no pun intended)>> You missed one really good example of an exogenuous event... todd
