VITAS.. First: "We are trying to give you a clean slate here..." Really and who are WE? Try baiting another. I asked YOU long ago to present your numbers for spx up and down.Rather than do so you spent some 10 days on another board trying to discredit and bait. I even suggested you show up on another board to discuss to not clutter this board. You refused. I put up my numbers for both POG and SPX for 2014 . I'm comfortable with them. I've put up my reasons to support my work.. Now those who read my work will get to see as the year plays out how they are hit. NOT if they are hit. First one that will be hit will be POG 1174 Then Spx 1458. I won't respond to you on this board again. You and YOUR WE are more than welcome to take it to Toco's board. Fintas

I think the notion of clarity is missed more often than one would think, and it took me years in my profession to recognize this. For some the notion of "what is the current estimate of how high it will go" is simply not there. I have no explanation for this other than that people understand language and communicate very differently, and not just with markets. Sometimes I am guilty of not explaining well too and it usually happens when I don't understand the question or the motivation behind the question. But I usually get it by the second or third try. :) Some of this may have to do with the fact that people enter and exit markets differently. I think it's helpful to ask and answer questions like --- how high do you expect it to go at a max before it turns and goes down, and what is the time frame for this? --- how low do you expect it to go at a min before it turns up and what is the time frame for this? --- are we on our way up at this time or are we on our way down? and the time-frame will help give one an understanding, based on his/her frequency of market interaction. My answer is almost always "I don't know" ....and "this is a guess" based on some heuristic.
