If drops 2% today - we will be treated to an 'S and P is a bloodbath' post. Hence, despite how transparent what they are doing it, Type_45 can convince themselves their prediction is coming to pass and they are an economic guru.

Ahhhhh, I've just worked it out and I think Type_45 is correct after all! The 80% drop prediction is the sum of all the 'drops'! So 1.8 here, 2 there and before long we have got to 80. The index is at +10% by then but hey, there was, in a sense, a sort of 80% drop!grumiofoundation said:
