you would have spent 6 years believing something was going to happen before anything happened, that's 6 years out of the 8 years in between the two major crashes this millenium.

I didn't say I predicted _when_ it would happen, simply that it was obvious to a casual observer that there was a credit bubble that would inevitably burst when money couldn't be paid back.

well yeah i mean, if you persist in saying things will go up or go down, eventually you'll be right.
