December 21st, 2012 is a Friday… Moreover, it’s the 3rd Friday of the month (so it will be a quadruple “witching” day)…

Perhaps that’s the END that is being referred to…

Now I'll know where to go to debunk all future myths (and print nice pretty graphics to support my case)... Based on that research, maybe they'll nominate me for a Nobel Prize! On to other subjects:

BELIEVERS:
“stocks have reached a permanently high plateau”
SKEPTICS:
meh

BELIEVERS:
“real estate will continue to appreciate in asset value”
SKEPTICS:
meh

BELIEVERS:
“The recession is over”
SKEPTICS:
meh

BELIEVERS:
“Change you can believe in”
SKEPTICS:
meh
