grim predictions from my friend Gavshire Hathaway (aka the oracle of Burien)

Me : you really think the dow will drop below 10K?
Gavin : what's another 1,200 points?
Gavin : our banking system is bankrupt
Gavin : our dollar is collapsing
Gavin : credit is being revoked
Gavin : jobs are being lost
Gavin : GM will be bankrupt within 1 year
Gavin : shareholders have gutted their companies via outsourcing, flipped short term gains, and the middle class is now strained under massive debt
Gavin : we'll be lucky if this doesn't become a depression
Gavin : 100 bux says it falls under 10k
Gavin : 1 year time frame

he's been shorting the market for awhile and making nice returns... wish i had listened to him awhile ago. Although my portfolio is mostly exposed to one early stage internet startup these days

Something about putting resources to use to build value rather than spending on things that seem insignificant.
