I have a strong feeling that my number is going to hit this time!!!

yeah, right.

I love the panic as much as the euphoria when it goes well.
Maybe now we can stop assigning sooo much credit/blame either way on any current President, no matter what any current President says.

so far, we are about back to Dec 2017, or so I heard.

I put way too much faith in the effects of the Trump tax cuts...#-o

I just can't seem to get being more like a con right....

Actually most broad based portfolios were up 25-30% in 2017 long before the tax cuts were enacted but your anti-Trumpism is noted. 😉

maybe the economic momentum from the tax cut will happen after this correction... but asking for a 7,300 point rise (my guess was 31,109 eo'18 ) in 10 months???...that would be quite a run...


and my guess showed more faith in Trump's tax-cuts than most cons who guessed here...

And my 25-30% is high also but even conservative est would be 20%. Corrections happen ever so often.

Another brutal day but I think I see opportunity here!

anyone else take an ass whooping last 2 weeks in the market?

If you didn't you are not in the market.

My money is on Stinger

who's got money?


my guess is now looking comical...higher than even Drafter's, who is the biggest Trump fanatic here...

If stinger wins I'm moving the decimal point on the prize about two places to the left (thanks to the edit function). It will be all I can afford.

earnings will be fine

I didn’t think I would be almost the lowest.

closed at 24,264 today. So if the contest ended today the winner would be....

Half way point: 24271.

Look for a rally after the November midterm elections.

The unders are having their day now, what with the fears of a trade war, but the fundamentals are good for a rally later.

think I picked 25000, figured a roller coaster operator has to eventually bring you back where you started.

Over the long term this elevator goes up two floors and down one.

My suspicion is: it is becoming more one floor up and two floors down...as more nations respond to Trump's imposition of tariffs, "fears" of a trade war will become a "trade war"...

Stinger's guess looks like a winner...23,210...

Globalization is a process that America's capitalists, our largest corporations, have been primary engines of, and to a large degree, the biggest beneficiaries. To try to reverse course in the name of nationalism seems to ignore our history since the end of WWII, and fly in the face of pure capitalism.

This could be "sour grapes" on my part...took a little bath over the past few days...
