Jach, it looks as though you demonstrated a display of ignorance in your prediction of a big drop in stock prices. Oh well, what do you expect from those that predict with a pedantic attitude?

Possible 10% to 15% correction to around 80 to 85$ range. What happened to your call for $50?

Early profit taking may happen for 99 and it's possible that the ones that appreciate substantially during the last 4 months will get into selling pressure. Possible 10% to 15% correction to around 80 to 85$ range. imo. Glad to see you haven't ruined your track record. Your predictions are beginning to be pretty good counter indicators. Jach says sell...everyone should buy. Jach says buy....everyone should sell. <LOL> OG
