What say you for IBM, oh great one? 50? or 120?

Inquiring minds need to know (especially sinkspur's)...

You are not behaving sycophantically enough. ;^)

Did you ever read Foundation? You know how Hari Seldon could predict the actions of vast masses of men using mathematics? Psychohistory, I think he called it. As you remember, though, he could not predict the actions of an individual.

So it is with me. ;^)

(Actually, I cannot predict a ****ing thing. I just got lucky twice.)

Okay. Today's "See If Laz Gets Lucky" session has me predicting a SHARP selloff in the morning hours, followed by a mid-to-late day rally, ending with the DJIA having gotten it's ears boxed again, S&P taking it harder than yesterday, and NASDAQ getting a relative break but still negative.

Just so I am clear: DJIA ends 2 to low-3 digits lower, S&P is about 1-2% lower, and NASDAQ -- while lower -- is not meaningfully in losing territory.
