If I were to translate my own post (or the purpose of my post), I would say the point is as follows: Nobody knows what is going to happen (or when) to the markets/world, no matter how much you believe or believe you know, regardless of the logic you employ.
What do I know? I know that I don't know; be it where the S&P will be in 2012-13 (or '09 as was originally predicted-lol); and, especially, how soon the world will come to an end (lol).
Don't worry guys, I enjoy reading both of your posts, and frankly, I think your sensitive responses are redeeming. But if you are going to throw around extreme predictions, you're going to have to deal with a little criticism from fellow readers/posters.
My secret is simply to keep people honest. In your cases, to yourselves.
