No worse than the experts...

The experts seem to be wrong at least half the time, so let me try my hand at a little economic forecasting.


False bounce.  The DJI isn't finished diving.  I predict a low of 7500 +/- 200.

That, and buy Siemens.  (Actually I bought Siemens last Friday at 62).  Even at 73, I think its a good long term buy.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I am talking about.  Only follow my advice if you are a fool.

[update] the dude who predicted it all agrees with me.
