Fear not! I will do the honors of collecting the predictions, from outlandish to conservative, and post them!

I will start at the beginning of the thread and move forward. Also, I will not post things like "price drop in June" type things, just 2008 totals and year end totals, because there would be too many different things to collect. Maybe in another post, if anything.
