>1976, As Relevant as the Buggy Whip  - Andy Hoffman - Miles Franklin
Possible by definition means inevitable otherwise it would be impossible.
The problem for the predictor is when.
The problem for the listener is CRS: Can't remember shit.
The rats followed the Piped Piper to oblivion.

I'm not selling, seeking subscriptions or anything most folks would understand.
I engage in self-defense. If I can help others defend their economic future, they probably won't come after my meager assets.

I am in complete agreement with you on the chartists auguring the future by examining the rotting entrails of goats long dead.
Were they right more than 55-60% of the time, they should have retired decades ago to the Cayman Islands.

Choose wisely. And did I mention, "Keep ranting?"
