Come on Baires! For the DOW he was only off "by 1", albeit a "1" on the left side of the figure. Maybe we'll finish at 8,000. :)
Since we are on the topic, I am also getting nervous about when inflation will truly hit; some people are talking about it taking a good year or two for us to get that.
Hey, even I could have told you that if I bought gold in 2005 and then waited the rest of my life, sooner or later it would skyrocket!
I must admit, however, that much of my frustration is with me; I gave much too much credence to one view point! I felt Pretcher was a "bad guy" because he disagreed with dear old Jim. Well, I now consider myself educated on that point.
But, don't forget, the next time around Jim might get it right and Pretcher wrong...
Let's hope everyone gets it wrong and gold hits 5,000 on Monday morning because it is discovered at the Mayo Cliniic that rubbing your left foot on a big chunk of it cures several common diseases! :)
Hangin` in there,
