[quote=stockstradr]OK, I’ll play.

I am fairly certain on these predictions:

* Within 12 months, unemployment exceeds 10% in CA
* ..and exceeds 8% average across America
* S&P500 drops to below 650 sometime in 2009
* During the next SEVEN years, inflation adjusted S&P500 does NOT exceed peak of Oct ’07
* Oil price exceeds $300/bbl within five years.
* Gold price exceeds $3000/ounce sometime within five years, and exceeds $1500/ounce within three yrs.
* At least two US automakers go bankrupt; cease operations, within two years.
* China’s stock market recovers much sooner (and more significantly) than US or Europe stock markets. However, the SSE Composite first craters below 1,500 (25% drop from present value!). (And I kind think it could fall to 1,000). Then it takes off like a rocket.
* Government intervention in real estate markets becomes so significant it creates a false rally of at least 10% on mean condo prices in San Diego within the next year.
* US dollar collapses by at least 50% from current highs relative to basket of major currencies, during the next five years. Over a ten-year period it collapses by at least 90% from today’s high. Deflating dollar will be the only option for USA to avoid defaulting on our debt payments.
* Within 36 months, we have US inflation AND 30-year mortgage rates both exceeding 12%
* Bubble in US Treasuries pops within twelve months, causing the 3-10 year US treasury funds to fall in value at least 30% off their peak values.

And now you learn just how pessimistic I am:
* Total US GDP contraction will exceed 8.0%, meaning worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Yes, my GDP contraction estimate is at least twice what many respected economists are estimating (4%).

I’m rather guessing on these predictions:
* S&P500 ends 2009 at value BELOW 900!
* This will be an “L-shaped” recession/depression, meaning we fall off the cliff (which has already happened) and our economy gets stuck “waist deep in the Big Muddy” for at least FIVE years, w/option for ten years, Japan-style lost decade.

I am curious if you could pull a few of the more major of these predictions and draw out the moving pieces that you see bringing them about.

Thank you.

When you said that you looked at my link and it was awful, I thought you were talking about the picture of me holding my youngest daughter that I have on my profile link.

After the duct tape crack, you must admit it wasn’t such a far fetched thought on my part.
[/quote]
I am sorry that I gave you that impression.
I feel pretty comfortable talking shit, either as a joke or when I actually feel strongly about something, but I refrain from insulting people’s families.

I feel strongly that the advertisement you linked to was hideous. However, I have no opinion on your family (I actually have never clicked your profile link).

[quote=fredo4]

Is the picture that you posted that looked kind of like a cross between Adam Ant and Napoleon some of your artwork? That was pretty of cool.[/quote]

Its Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Comic book character. Dark horse comics I think.

[quote=socrattt]… taking a gay day doesn’t sit right with me.

I’m shocked.
Like Lou Dobbs not liking Cinco de Mayo.
[quote=socrattt]
I am not condemning you for your views…[/quote]
Not sure why you would since I agreed with you.
[quote=socrattt]I hope people start realizing that we have a lot more important things to worry about.
[/quote]Not you (or I) apparently.
[quote=socrattt]
As we seem to always have opposite views, I think we actually somewhat both agree here for once. Glad to hear your office is staying busy!!!

[/quote]Me too.

Honestly, this is a silly conversation and not as humorous as I like my threads.
