  • I fancy 3435

    It also happens to be the only number equal to the sum of its digits to their own powers - or so it says on Wikipedia:rotfl: .

    And sounds about right;) .

    3665, we have already seen the bottom :T

    Judging by this, I assume nearly all of you are in cash or gold.

    I'm curious as to where people are pulling these figures from. Does anyone want to post their prediction and their reasoning behind it?
    Mmmm, credit crunch. Tasty.

    I'd say about 2.

    3665, depends how bad the recession is of course but the market tends to bottom at first confirmation of impending recession i.e. the first qtr with negative GDP and then trade within a range for around 6-9 months, and then increase as the market looks forward to the coming upturn. If this is a depression then all bets are off :eek:
