    Oh Dan, did the bears get to you so much that you're dropping down to the levels of napoleon, downey (how they're missed :rolleyes:), et al?

    Seems like you were worried a few months ago after all?

    Yes, I have been brought down to their levels - months ago.

    The bears you mention, among others, used that graph as a defence against my predictions, so its time for a gentle reminder.

    Hopefully, we will have another drop soon so we can enjoy a proper battle, this forum aint much fun these days.

    Well I think we can all agree, maybe, that this has been one of the most unexplainable crashes / corrections we have known.

    By that, I mean, based on the economic background and sustainability, it simply does not add up.
