I've been on this board, and its predecessors, for 25 years. This thread is in the running for #1 all time.
On the surface it looks like a simple market prediction. In reality it was politics expressed through a market prediction. That in and of itself isn't unique. What's made it iconic is the lengths Walt has gone through to deny that simple fact.
At this point the prediction itself is almost secondary. The real entertainment has been watching the rewrites, rationalizations, and moving goalposts.
