- I look forward to seeing the results of this survey. As you may or
- may not know, the premise of the survey is exactly opposite that of
- historical experience. When most of the people in the market believe
- it's going up, it goes down, and vice versa.
-
- The questions you ask are, in general, not even indicative of the
- basic goal stated above. If you want another data point, though,
- I think it's going down. (There, that's sure to make it go up!)
