"no one would have thought 2003 would have seen a market recovery the likes of which we witnessed"
Actually nearly 100 folks responded to the first pole and right about 48 voted. 8 posters guessed correctly about a lot of up and a couple of them were comfortable with 1800+.
But yes, it was a very small % who expected this. Maybe 3%. But "No One" isn't correct.
No one seen as a "Guru" bothered to vote last time. Bet they avoid it again, although Zeev was pretty clear this time on us not going down, I can't count him as firm in the "neither" or "up" camp, unless he clarifies. Only one poster with a large number of bookmarks voted last time
