This century will go out with a bang. Its just a question of how big. There is no doubt that people will pull their money out this year just in anticipation of a crash, if the crash doesn't beat them to the punch. Remember, the rest of the world is already underwater, and what goes around will soon be here. Just because there is low inflation and low unemployment doesn't mean that corporate profits will stay high.

Because it would just be a bunch of date post grubbing: "Why is the contest weighted more toward the reason rather than the timing ?" I do appreciate the commodities analogy and I credit impristine as the first in html on that point. Absolutely trading like cornered commodities, trading locked limit at the open. There will be some psychological change in perception when it goes and whatever that is, that's what were looking for. We (the judges and I) thought long and hard about reason and timing weighting and came to the conclusion that we'd just get a bunch of post grubbers putting dates up here. So the writer has got to get the reason first. TA too easy as well.
