LOL! You are the one yammering about the sun going "out". We are currently blank. How does going "out" from here amount to reaching 72?

I'll bet you $1M (which, like a good hedgefund offering CDS I don't have) that we will reach 25 at the peak, which is a good deal higher than zero. This strikes me as a very safe bet, since none of the record I showed you is that low. If you on the other hand, object to such a low bet, well, in that case I guess I've finally drummed into your head that things are not going "out" as you keep claiming, but that instead, you are just expecting (hoping?) for a lower cycle. I have no problem with the next cycle possibly being either lower or higher, or the same, in fact, I have no data to guide me in picking any of them. But I have good data which tells me zero is not a likely option.

So put your money where you mouth is: Are things going to go up from here, or stay flat to down as you keep implying?
