[quote=NeetaT]These prognosticators are no more experts than you and me. If they were so sure of themselves, they would put their money where their mouth is and take on massive short positions in anticipation for major corrections south. As for getting depressed about these inept forecasts, remember Dale Carnegie once said, 99% of the things he worried about never happened.[/quote]
But ppl said that Rich was crazy too for his forecast. He was on the money. Mish and some choice others have been too.
And as for ppl like Mish being smarter than me… Well at least in the realms of economics… He definetly is! π

Plus the fact it has been stated by many pundents that he was one of the few that has a portfolio that grew last year. So he must be taking advantage of the green shoots.

He was heavily hedged against Great Depression, so his portfolio grew last year (2008) and early this year while the stock market was crashing, and it declined in Q2 2009 while the stock market was making double-digit gains.

Very true but I would rather see EOY performance over quartely. You can make anyone look bad on just 1 or 2 two quarters of performance data.
