Sorry to steal the show, but even after spending 36 hours in an emergency care unit, I still think $1,000+ peak valuation is unstoppable before Christmas. My experiences tell that even the patients here are eager to buy by the truckload, as soon as they get into the position to do so. Not everyone was picked when he had all his belongings packed to two nice cabin bags (+the silver).
You said $300k before the end of the year, and anybody denying this will happen in 2013 is a fool and an ignorant. But still you did not accept to put your money where your mouth is accepting my bet proposal with odds on your favor.
