Ah Grasshopper, that is a good effort at trying to master the difficult on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand technique for forecasting. Are you seriously trying to tell me that if I had called you Fri. before the market opened because I was worried about Asia, and the employment number, and the stupid accounting tricks AOL had just unveiled and the fact they "beat" expectations only by a one-time profit on someone else's stock and AOL's plunge in after-hours trading... you would have said, "Don't worry. It'll be rock solid right there at $79 at the end of the day." I guess the "look out below" portion of your forecast only would have applied if something bad had happened. My mistake.
