A long shot will always be just that I agree. How often does a horse come in at 100 to 1? Never. High risks tempt the gullable

I don't see anything in "events" that would justify such a rise. It could well happen but it would be a bubble that would burst again precipitating another crisis. Are we really that nieve anymore? It would confirm the worst suspicions of those calling for more regulation and by and large it...
