    Everyone has an eye on the market so the other players might put addition effort to tire us up. Making sure that we have always plenty of margin.
    But it looks as if it is more likely for it to go further down than return to previous levels.
    In the end it might stay irrational longer than we can stay solvent but we’ll live and see...

      Didn't you also say that it was going to north of $100k?

          But this was "definitely before Xmas 2018"

          We need a graph of Scootie's predictions vs actual reality. I wonder what it'd look like compared to, "The stuff my mate says..." I bet it'd be about on par.

            You don’t need a graph... if Scotty says graph does

                Still bouncing... is this the time to sell to minimise losses?

                This is damned annoying. I should have been able to predict the crash based on the fact that I decided to put some money in. Same as when I put a few quid into BTC.

                  I'm still trying to decide when to put extra money into my pension fund.

                  I feel like I'm trying to jump into a skipping rope game.

                    Might bounce toward the 7000. But there's an easy answer to your conundrum... Do I risk missing out on gains between 6800-7000 or do I wait and ride it down to 4500?

                    The risk to the downside is far greater than the probable gains to the upside.

                      Stay in cash. Much safer right now. Wait until it's over.
