    Sad day for America

    So, everything is better now, with the 'Hugo Chavez Bank Nationalization Act of 2008' just announced by Paulson, right? We no longer need to stem the loss of jobs, let alone create new ones. We can just inject liquidity into the economy, and even just pass out freshly printed cash to the...

    White Monday?

    Some people will say it was a lucky guess. Some people will say it was a statistical fluke. I say, given that you cited excellent reasoning for the basis of your call, that it was an amazing call. Not only did it happen, but I believe it happened for the reasons you stated it would.
