Everybody knows what's going to happen next...

Bull$hit! Nobody knows!

...except maybe Leonard Cohen:

"
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
.
.
.
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joes still pickin cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that its moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
.
.

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows.]]>

GlobalHOBBIT - only a fool would not be curious as to WHY someone would fire rockets at them. A terrorist is always fighting for a cause.

During the American Revolution, Americans were the terrorists, or freedom-fighters if you prefer. It all depends on the side you get your information from.

But wait, I didn't see the chart for U.S. manufacturing output...

What's that you say? See the chart for China? Ah, but of course!

The U.S. is doomed until they get their manufacturing capacity back. They started this mess and they will be the last to get out of it, but only as soon as they start producing some goods of tangible value. I can't wipe my a$$ with a CDS...well, you know what I mean.]]>

As you stated in your introduction: "There is not enough data for any pundit to accurately forecast what the US economy will look like on December 31, 2009" and "the economy is all about momentum."
