    yeah. i gather that... but for the "experts" to actually write that it might be a load of crap is lets say "hedging their bets"

    i'll have a go...

    Neil on for a "69" tonight
    This may infact be wrong. He might shoot his normal 83, 84.

    Neil was majestic on the golf course tonight. From tee to green he was perfect, never missing a fareway. Putts were rolling in from all directions. The highlight was a 125 yard pitching wedge that horseshoed around the hole performing "star spangled banner" before dropping in.

    I could get a job on there...

    LOL

    well economists, market analysts, or whatever you want to call them, are a fantastic breed.

    they basically get paid loadsamoney to give a number of different reasons why something will either a.) go up, b.) go down and c.) stay the same.

    then eventually when 1 of them happens - they say "told you so" and give themselves a big pat on the back !!

    so, yes 'hedging their bets' is exactly what they do....

    clever chaps!!
