If I am correct in my forecast it(cause/model)doesn't matter. If I am incorrect in my forecast it(cause/model)doesn't matter. It matters to me, Andon. Should I chose to act on your prognostication, I would be doing so in a vacuum. At least the bulls on this board post evidence, not wild guesses. If this is the way you invest, then I am surprised you even have enough money to post to this board. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I think the bulls have it right, by a long shot!! Sam

I could just as easily reply that Apple will hit 400 by Friday. Under your rationale, I would need no justification. In fact, under your rationale, there is no such thing as justification. If that's the case, then why bother to invest in the stock market at all? Slot machines give the same odds and they don't charge trading fees. -Michael
