Inevitable crash

Ouch! Imagine having to write thus sort of junk.

Three people said something, and we said there's a rumour about something else, so it's inevitable.

Someone wrote a program for missiles that had to be accurate, so this one must be too.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Where's my bone?

    I liked this statement:
    “You would have been able to completely avoid the 2000 and 2008 collapses if you were using this system based on our back-testing,” Hyman explains. “Imagine how much more money you would have if you had avoided those horrific sell-offs.”

    Ahh... the benefit of hindsight.

    If anyone's interested, I have my own system which, if back-tested, would also have enabled you to avoid the 2000 and 2008 collapses. It's as follows:

    Between the years of 2000 and 3000, there will be a significant collapse every year that's a multiple of 8.*

    Looking good so far, although we'll see how well my system stands up in 2 years time.


    * hopefully it's obvious, but just in case this constitutes "advice" in some way- this post is written tongue-in-cheek and should not be taken seriously!

    Promo/referral code: very well spotted, Grey Gym Sock. :-)

    It's just the URL that was used by the link to it from the page on another website I was looking at before it. I noticed it as I pasted it, but it didn't really seem worth fiddling with it to take it off.

    Anyway, I like to think I am worth more than one dog biscuit per thousand clicks. :)
