Good point about the election and the bailouts but then how come the other two players in the thread at the time, with the same information, predicted that the Dow would go down, and massively at that? If you thought my prediction was so weak, why didn't you say so at the time? Always easy in retrospect.
I had plenty of rational reasons for making my predictions but one can have endless discussions about whether the reasons are valid or not. No need for that if you just put your money where your mouth is and make a prediction that is easily testable. Did the Dow top 10,000? Yes. Did it bottom out at 7000? No.
PS "advice" is the noun, "advise" is the verb
I predict in 2010: most people will yet again have no interest in potato farming
