    If January is any indication of what is to come this year, my early prediction would be the word “stimulus.”

    T and F — you’ve got me there SPF.

    Well I know what T is but don’t know what the F is :)

    I won’t spill the beans just yet!

    I believe the word of the year will be “Change” or “Obama”

    Sean- I don’t think the folks that decide the word will get that sophisticated based on the T; they have to use a word that the entire population uses regularly throughout the year.

    S,

    How’s your “Buy Stocks Now” plan working out? A while back you were waxing double-positive about what a great time it was to buy into the market. If I recall, the DOW was around 8700 when the advice was dispensed.

    I would say the word for the year will be one of these:

    depression
    nationalization
    socialism
    takeover
    deflation
    unemployment
    bailout
    regulation
    universal (as in healthcare)

    kg,

    Short for Kagey (aka Cagey)? Probably not the Kevin Garnett that I know.

    Good guesses methinks. Mostly good… 8700 seems low to me right now.

    Looking backwards, I think we’ll need to disqualify previous Word(s)-of-the-Year – after all, “bailout” already won in 2008.

    That still leaves you with 8 good guesses.

    My stock plan worked out well – here’s what I bought:

    TREE at $2.11
    GOOG at $311
    AAPL at $91.49

    I hope I’m wrong, but I sense some hostility in your comment – I hope not to fan those flames, even if I do not provide the best date(s) to sell the above-named stocks in the future.

    OMG!

    ADMONISH??? REALLY???

    This is so outrageously unexpected that I’m beside myself:

    But then again, I’m biased. ;-)

    p.s. no need to disclose T and F in 2009 — later is better.
