    All kidding aside, I want to go back to one of your old predictions:

    First of all, I agree that we need to adjust for inflation - and since we are in a period of deflation that Bernanke and Co. cannot stop, we can add -1-2% inflation effect. Agree!

    and sure, Ill give you my predictions:

    Nov '09 - 165
    Nov 2010 - 145
    Nov 2011 - 125
    Nov 2012 - 112 (and new president)
    Nov 2013 - 100

    THEN we can start talking about the bottom.

    W.A.L (watch and learn)

    For the record, the Nov 09 value came out at 179.19, so you were off by approximately 7%. Normally 7% off isnt too bad, but considering you only had to predict 3 months out, not a good start my friend!

    So up next will be your Nov 2010 prediction of 145. Considering we are 33 points above that for Jan 2010, I guess we need a scorching drop of 3.3 points per month for the next 10 months to get there. Not impossible, but not looking too good my friend!

    CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW!!!!!!!

  2. Since he's predicting a new president in '12, perhaps nonpartisan is simply off by four years.

    Refering to the distribution map, my metropolitan area in NW is labeled as a boom, no bust which I would have to disagree with. The boom lagged behind the nationwide run up so it didn't quick see the same peak as the rest of the nation. The bust has also lagged behind, but is currently about 20% off its August 2007 high and still dropping.

  7. "Have you bought yet? if not, get a job with Uncle Sam!"

    Most people working for uncle same make less than $100K a year. Why dont you get a job with Uncle Sam so you can take off your rose colored glasses.

  8. Also if you are in the DC area you may notice that a lot of the gov "new jobs" is a little misleading. It is true the gov't is highering thousands of people in DC. What doesn't seem to make the headlines is the fact that a lot of the gov't contractor jobs are being phased out. There are lot of the experienced technical contractor jobs that are being replaced with lower paying gov't jobs with people who have a lot less experience.

    Most people working for any employer make less than $100k a year. So what's your point?

    Anyway, all the good jobs are with defense/DHS private sector contracts...
