    Or 50.

    I can now remember what I said, over 18 months ago!! Lots happened since then.

    Could never remember ever saying 65%, so wondered where such a figure had come from.

    It's actually a range of values from 50 to 70, which includes 65, but you've really got to feel the bears have lost the argument when they squabble over the semantics of their own predictions.

    This thread is hilarious.

    People arguing about whether a forecast about a made-up figure from a bunch of liars and thieves in a month's time is going to be accurate or not.

    I ignore all of them and just use my own judgement.
    I suggest everyone does the same.

    prices falling between 50% to 70% covers 65%...

    it was a stupid prediction anyway, maybe it was possible in Lala Land but not in the real world.
