I think everyone sees Iraq is a mess. A complete waste of money and life. Bush chance of re-election is really dim. If there was a better democrat Bush really would be toast. Iraq was a big mistake and now everybody has stomach ache from it and they want to keep their money to boot !! Bernie Shaeffer also smells negativety from here.
Anyone can call a market. Is Biggs trading. Did he get long here? That's the acid test, otherwise he's just another talking head (and, apparently, from the observations of one commentator here, in need of a diaper change )
i do not think that 'just anybody' can call the market on a consistent basis. if it were that easy 90+% of all traders would not be losers.
