i am not making fun of you Wig. i am just joking with myself at your expense. sorry.
everyone who predicts anything is vague and points to past successes to give those predictions credibility.
Gamblers remember the times they won... and forget the times they lost. in fact, the more they lose, the more they believe they will win. Thats why hundreds of billions flow through Vegas every year and why Trillions change hands in the stock markets.
I never met a gambler that did not believe he had a system.
I never met a gamber that won more than he lost.

JR,
It's all good and no need to apologize.
While there may be some vagueness regarding the middle east events to come and my post, my forecasts on markets (including both price and time) have been pretty specific.
If you have never met a gambler that makes money, you better get out more. There are many forms of gambling. For instance, do you not think Warren Buffet gambles when he decides to invest?
What about a business owner? Did you and Colin not gamble when you started pleasure labs?
Yes, trillions change hands in the stock market, but it is a zero sum game. For every buyer there is a seller.
Your explanation and conclusions of the life and times of the "gambler" leave a lot to be desired.
