Participant“You pray for the crash to affect people so that you can laugh at their lost and beleive that is makes your worthless existence mean something.”
You got it! I am big on saying, “I told you so” to idiots 🙂

ParticipantAlex, some of us replied to your post in a rational manner with no name calling. I agree with you that name calling is not appropriate.
Alex, I too showed a plot with a range of long-term rates that supports my price opinion that is not pulled out of thin air.
If you cannot contribute to the data-driven civil discourse that has been the hallmark of this site, then go ahead and waste your time spewing random thoughts and ill-conceived rants.
It’s a free country.
On that note: I don’t agree with what you say, but I believe you have a right to say it. In addition I will exercise my right in calling it horse shit.August 16, 2007 at 1:50 PM #76644ParticipantAlex, some of us replied to your post in a rational manner with no name calling.

ParticipantPerry, it’s true that people make predictions all the time. I worked as an economist and a statistician in different lives, so I can easily smell a rat when people start throwing around exact dates or numbers. I guess it’s just human nature to attach a number to our beliefs, so that we sound as if we know what we’re talking about. But someone with data experience will just roll his eyes and laugh later.
Your comment about rejecting bad news has more to do with political issues. I’m not saying that the RE debacle doesn’t have political implications!

ParticipantHi Bugs.
Thanks, but….I didn’t fare too well predicting where the DJIA would close today.
Some things are easier to predict than others I suppose;)
