I appreciate that you're not making a call for the sake of making a call--it lends credence to those times when you do stick your neck out.<br /><br />What potential development which would derail the 2007 analogy most concerns you right now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135767210188526078.post-69488145471996194662011-08-04T20:03:36.355-04:002011-08-04T20:03:36.355-04:00congrats on the stupid profits - you were well pre...congrats on the stupid profits - you were well prepared for today!JeffreyGTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097760566504369886noreply@blogger.com
