Dammit, man, I can't believed I was misled by the subject into reading 44 posts about the freakin' stock market without a single picture. Now get back on topic!

I think this is a sociological (big word) experiment by CFB. He wants to see if he can get a record number of responses in a given period of time. Then he will tell us it was a joke posting the thread.

Hey, I'm a seasoned marketing guy. I did say that we might have a few more down days between here and there.

If you've had your morning coffee, you'll note that 'few' is somewhat flexible, as is 'here' and 'there', and theres a lot of room in the statement "before long"...

Cool. Sounds like "Cramer" is a verb. Maybe it's a Spanish "-er" verb meaning "to hype, scare and usually be wrong about the market."

Yo cramo. Tu crames. Nosotros Crameros. You get the idea.

4th quarter this year is my best guesstimate from what I am hearing/reading. Anyway, I'm buying then...until that time I refuse to panic (well, much, anyway).
