So what's that number going to be? Is it going to be doom and gloom for the US, or is the multi-trillion-dollar stimulus going to work? D
I don't make predictions, I just react.

10-13% but really 14-19% since they lie.

Freakin 50% if you count all the people at their jobs who are picking their noses all day long right now, due the weakness in orders. Though they are in front of their computers right now, pretending to be working, while they have their dual screens open to watch the market and trade for a living. :P Ignore the 7.2% number. Its a phallacy. In reality I think its really around 14 or 15% at least.
OTIS.

I'm thinking double digits...however, this has zero affect on how I trade. Kinda worried about the family though. D
