    These gloating threads between stock and his detractors have marked a top or a bottom depending on who starts them.

    Actually the S*P500 does not have a historical return of 10%, its a tad less, and once you include inflation its barely better than treasuries. Once you include the common yahoo's inclination to try and time the market, its worse.

    Volatility, like many things in the market is mean reverting. We went through a very long period of very high volatility, that means we will go through some period of low volatility to work that off. Eventually it'll all work out and we will be back to historical averages. Your another one that I think might have gotten into my morphine stash, and should give it back as its obviously clouding your friggin mind.

  5. Although volatility is cyclical I am predicting the amplitude of the volatility fluctuations will converge to zero over the course of decades. The VIX will settle at around zero
