Well, after such a great introduction, i cant wait to hear the speaker myself. [laughter] sometimes all these introductions can backfire. Recently, new York Magazine voted me as one of the 100 smartest people in new york city. [laughter] i thought, wow, what an honor.

Let me quote from that great philosopher of the western world, yogi berra [laughter] yogi berra once said, quote prediction is awfully hard to do, especially if its about the future.

If you look at when in the complex world, the focus here is winning. The focus is on winning. In fact you may not have to fight to win. But, a qualifying mark, but as soon as i say that, people say, i love that idea. Winning without fighting. But the only way you could possibly win without fighting, is it must be absolutely clear to everybody involved that if you do fight, you will absolutely win.

Now. Not only is the commute messy, tomorrow morns will be as well. Thank you, spencer. Speaking of, which rainslick roads were dangerous this morning. Chp says they fielded 400 accident calls between 2 00 and 10 00 a. M. California drivers are required by law to have headlights on any time windshield wipers are operating. And an cam trance paul avenue were closed and took crews until 1 00 to open the lanes in the north bay, people have been dealing with downed trees and weve had rain. Weve wanted it and no one is complaining too much about it. That is the creek that caused problems but know, and swirling and not a problem now. Most of the day was uneventful unless you happen to be long term residents. Things we take for granted. Trees in the yard, until they fall anyway. It sounded like there is a minor earthquake.

And the vast number of times in this market, the ugly side is taking precedence. Even as initially the Positive Side seems to be winning. These reverses were forward progress, doesnt matter, are shocking people and making so many investors rethink whether its even possible to make money in the market. At least at this very moment. First, let me just say, for now, the market is dominated by traders, particularly traders that believe the average has to fall, maybe 4 or 5 more before we get on even footing.
