"....in a bear market the bottom is always predicted to be 15% lower than where the index is. The very last of these predictions is wrong. It's Gottfried's rule." Just like last year when Battapaglia(remember him) was predicting 6500 nasdaq--the reverse 15% rule. But to prevent Eugene's 1997 bottom of 1750-1800, it certainly would be nice if we could rally today, wouldnt you think?

and number 3, if the stock you most want gets to your target price, you buy it and it immediately drops another 50%, or you hesitate to buy it, and it then turns and runs back up and away from you, in which case you chase it up, and then it drops 50%.
