Parker's right?
Did you miss his big "Dow at 6000" prediction?
How'd that turn out?
Like I said...........make your prediction. You have a 50% chance to look like a genius and a 50% chance to look like a goat.
I don't know for sure if 6,000 will be the low point but I believe that we will head into a second dip.
...and you've been right about exactly what here ?
;rofl:
I believe you rank below Stinky Waters, and even with Hankster.
Not exactly the company that nakes EF Hutton get out of bed in the morning.
Market grand scale manipulations are near impossible, but the 'grand unifying conspiracy theory' that continues to tout them keeps the simple minds occupied.
As Dave pointed out markets rarely go striaght up, and a correction of around 20% would be the high side of normal. Even a double dip recession, which as I pointed out some time ago as being a distinct possiblity wouldn't drive the markets to Parker levels, perhaps 7900/8300 bottome end.
But in the end, looking at available data for quite a long period of time, those who claim total market collapse have ZERO, that's right aero historical trend lines of actual market conditions to use a a guideline.
Read about the markets in 1789/1805 if you want to see more of the 'chicken little' types claiming imminenet demise of the market.
Too many whacko websites these days, allows formerly marginalized morons like SW to actually have a link to post on a website, as opposed to what those types USED to do.
Stand on a corner and hand out mimeographed pamphlets about how the Bilderbergs and International Banking Conspiracy (read Jewish Bankers here, John Birch Society was famous for this sort of garbage, Ron Paul type sh!t) were going to crash the markets.

........................a life...................get one.............
All this from the weak suck that doesn't have the gnar puffs to stand behind his own economic philosophy?,........... Please.

How about an instant replay here?
Jerry says he doesn't know about 6,000 but points out he believes that a double dip may be in order.
KayKayKay enters into yet another wine addled (obvious) diatribe to express his frustrations. Half way through which he takes ownership of his very own claim of a double dip,......patting himself on the back for such succinct prognostication.
As always of course

What's the matter limp dick? Ya get too drunk and forget what you were even tearing into the guy for half way through your post?

Lay off the sauce lush.
Not that I need to even defend my position or my posts here from your pea-brained drunken attacks since the Krugman, Bernanke, Geithner, Rubin, Paulson, Summers ball washing you do here is consistently and ever more apparently discredited in reality every single day. I will however point out that market manipulation is not only possible through the use of high frequency, high volume trading platforms it is something that Fed officials have all but admitted to over the years. Propping up the market during downturns was the reason behind the formation of the PPT in 88'.
That said never once have I avered to the Bilderbergs, Free Masons, JBS, or any other such organization controlling the world or anything else. Such things are distractions for dimbulbs and ammunition for niave suckers such as yourself who would rather bury their head in the sand than know any sort of truth. Although I'm not suprised to see you put words in my mouth,......it's what you do.
While I may not subscribe to any of the above conspiracies I'm also aware that when the mechanisms exist for individuals to control and manipulate markets on the scale we're talking about then it's completely niave to believe that those same individuals would not use that power to further their own agenda.
Whether you're too fukking dumb to see it or just don't care makes no difference to me.
Life,......get one huh?
This coming from a wino with nothing better to do than preach his years of wasted knowledge to a hand-full of liberal fisherman who would listen? A drunken bum who's last piece of a$$ was likely during the Carter Administration?

Yeah dude,......I'll get a life,.........but you first.
