I predict that MrYouKnowWho (TM) and BN66 will go up in a puff of smoke after the next election.

[EternalOptimist]

I predict a happiness beer in about 5 minutes, as soon as I have changed

[ba55meister]

I predict a World War III

[BrilloPad]

I predict death and taxes.

I also think that the FTSE will close at 3267.8 on April 10th. Just dont ask which year.

[SantaClaus]

Over what time period and why??

I really can't give you timescales or fundamental reasons, I go purely on the technicals. But gold has dipped below $900 (I made this prediction when we were at $918).

I think a close under $900 will see a bounce and then we will head to $680. But I cant tell you when

[Bear]

I'll start by predicting that Gold falls to around $680.

I predict it will rise to $2000

Over what time period and why??

[HairyArsedBloke]

I predict it will all end in tears.

If my predictions turn out to be right though, there won't be any revisiting at a later date.

So either no-one will read it or you'll get laughed at.

Let's start a thread with future predictions and then revisit at a later date to see who got it right/wrong.

I predict that due to homo sapiens innate, evolutionary and biological propensity to see patterns where none exist, that short term prediction of the markets is essentially useless.
Money will continue to be made and lost by luck.
Those who make it will post-hoc rationalise that it was due to their superior intelligence and insight.
Those who lose it will try to find a better "system".

Both are deluded.

The same could be said for climate change... or is that different?

[AlfredJPruffock]

Our entire Solar System ,including the Earth and Sun - will be destroyed in 3 Billions Years following the collision with the Andromeda Galaxy rendering any rememberance of your puny existence in the Cosmos to be utterly meaningless.

The Future is - Starless and Bible-Black.
