It's like the weather man in Florida, trying to predict where/when the next hurricane will hit. They'll always go all doom and gloom, huge cone of uncertainty, you'd better go buy some plywood, water and batteries, NOW!

Put everyone into a panic because...you can never be too safe!

But then, when it doesn't materialize, everyone's happy!

The weather man was 100% WRONG, but nobody's mad at him, and he doesn't get fired, because, HEY, it COULD have happened!

Aren't you glad you just bought $800 worth of plywood, water and batteries?

That's DALPA's E+F/A, right there. Why were they not fired after C2012? Because, hey, look how big your next profit sharing check is going to be! Aren't you so happy we got 4,8,3,3? We were so lucky the big storm missed us!

If you'll excuse me, I've got to run to Home Depot now, 2017 is coming in fast!

I think I hear thunder, and there's some wind, and and and...

We've got to hurry! The price of plywood is going to skyrocket if we don't get some asap!!

Time Value of Plywood!
