BINGO!

I don't like the news anymore than anyone else.....but I'm also being realistic as well.

B2pilot~ I'll send you a PM on June 1st on my prediction the Dow will be below 5,000. If I'm wrong (and I hope that I am) I'll flat out post that I was crazy. I'm reading the same thing Ave Joe is obviously reading though and it isn't good.
