[quote=XBoxBoy]This thread just keeps on being one of the most interesting in a long time. To see all the pessimism and the cynicism that’s put out here is fascinating. Mind you I have no idea if now is a good time to be pessimistic or optimistic. All I know is that I don’t know and neither does anyone else on this thread. It’s just raw biases on display. And to me, that’s fascinating to watch.

And oh yeah, in addition to pessimism there’s a healthy dose of suspicion of conspiracies. Human nature clearly on display here if you care to see it.[/quote]

Correct none of knows exactly what is about to happen and neither do the “experts”. And yes our opinions are based on our past experiences which in turn give us our biases.

I participate in this thread (and probably others do as well) because I have a significant portion of my wealth wrapped up in investments of all kinds. While I’m not going to make an “all in” bet as the original poster recommended, I may make slight course adjustments based on the thoughts expressed here. I haven’t yet, but I might in the future.

If you use this thread for entertainment, more power to ya!
