No offence taken. I agree with you on many of your points, but I think that you needed to focus in on the latter part of my post, which was that I believe that major players are moving in such a fashion as to indicate that there may not be a lot of time left before NOT explodes. I also neglected to further point out that it was not my intention to indicate any special gifts of prophecy on M.J.s part, just that it was a given that it would happen at some point given news issues and market conditions. Being that we are at about 3.18, it's not much of a jump to go below 3. Your point is also well taken that any jump down to that point will not likely be long lived. It's easy to sit back and predict drops in sp as it is always a given that it will happen at some point. As for M.C. , I pay little attention to him/her other than that I believe he/she represents some of the forces that would "appreciate" lower sp's.
