I'll let you know, in a couple of weeks time.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostSo is there going to be a crash in October or not?

Before we get excited, lets see how the Dow Jones Index closes. If it closes lower, I am still confident that this is a top in all markets.Originally posted by SuperZ View PostFTSE up another 1.4% today. It'll be back at the 2007 high before the doomers say "maybe this is a bull market afterall"
Remember today is a low volume day because of a US holiday and we only took out the DJI high by a few pips.
btw, I currently have a binary bet that Wall Street will close down
A good bet with odds at about 10:1'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

A good bet with odds at about 10:1How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

...one thing is for certain, nobody on this board does. It's hilarious to stop by from time to time and see what garbage the usual suspects are coming out with on matters economic. Like little kids in the playground trying to convince each other they are experts when everyone knows they are talking utter garbage.Originally posted by MrMark View PostI'll let you know, in a couple of weeks time.

Entertaining though.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
