Seeing that the market had already been down 8% for the year when you said that, giving you an 8% edge just to MAKE that statement, and you could have lost up to 7% at one point if you actually shorted when you made that statement, while at the same time you used the word "likely", which means even with an 8% edge and the market looking like garbage, you're simply making a weak suggestion, not a prediction with any substance. So no, just no.And $SPX is down a further 15% since then.


Likely as in who really knows. Ever.Seeing that the market had already been down 8% for the year when you said that, giving you an 8% edge just to MAKE that statement, and you could have lost up to 7% at one point if you actually shorted when you made that statement, while at the same time you used the word "likely", which means even with an 8% edge and the market looking like garbage, you're simply making a weak suggestion, not a prediction with any substance. So no, just no.
/edit: we all have our strengths, as do you I'm sure, am just making an inference that post probably wasn't the best choice to highlight one of those strengths.
1. The stadium-naming-rights curse..
PSI-Net Stadium I think they called it.
In Baltimore.
Lost my ass to the curse. But for awhile there, I was up like a king.
"The stadium was originally known as Ravens Stadium at Camden Yards, until PSINet acquired the naming rights in 1999, naming it PSINet Stadium"
Many analysts pushed PSINet stock, and they were burned.
PSINet isn't the only company to fool analysts. Household names such as Lucent Technologies Inc. and Xerox Corp. also caught the analysts by surprise as their stock prices collapsed.
