Show me the quote where I predicted lower bottom. The times I mentioned other bottoms were for the purpose to see if any of these doom and gloomers would put their money where their mouth was. I finally found someone that was willing to risk $50 at the Dow going below 6500. 7500 is a level that is realistic given the conditions, but there will be way to much support for the Dow to stay there or even approach 6500.
As for the earnings I used as being 'WRONG', it seems you are comparing apples to oranges. The numbers you refer to are some 'new earnings definition' for the June numbers which seem to include a new caculation for Pension expenses. The numbers I refer to are the expected reported earnings at the end of the year, which probably do not use the 'new earnings definition'.
