Everybody, listen! I am the one with the crystal ball.
My crystal ball said, (in quotes):
“In 1996 -BUY San Diego house – April 1996.” Did it.
“In 2005 -LIST your house for sale June 2005.” Did it and sold October 2005.
Then it said: “Move out of San Diego – 2006, go to Austin, Texas area.” I obediently followed and did it, again.
Now it is saying: “You may buy again in San Diego AFTER OR PAST Winter of 2009”. Guess what, I will – if I certainly feel like it then. I may or I may not. Crystal ball won’t punish me if I disobey.
See, my crystal ball has been reliable in the past. Why would I question it now?
