Merry Christmas or Happy Hannekah or whatever you celebrate to everyone.
Nowwhat, whoever made that prediction sure had a good crystal ball. Who would have held on though, from Dow 14K to Dow 7K or whatever the low was in 2009, losing 50% of your money and everyone talking about the world economy going bankrupt? Very few people probably. Just a few diehard buy and hold people. I'll bet the crystal ball person didn't even hold on through that. 2008/2009 scared the stocks out of a lot of people.
