Predictions for 2009
It's January 1, 2009. This seems like a good time to make some predictions about the year to come. We don't have a crystal ball, nor a window into the future. We don't even have a set of Tarot cards. These are just random predictions that may nor may not happen.
1. Caroline Kennedy will be edged out by Andrew Cuomo as Senator Hillary Clinton's (D-NY) replacement to the US Senate.
2. The stock market will continue a gradual decline toward 7,000 before it bottoms out and begins to regain lost ground.
3. The $1 Trillion in bail outs to the insurance, automobile, and banking industries will only be the beginning of the extent to which the federal government is required to provide relief to failing American businesses.
4. Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen will regret firing Head Coach Mike Shanahan when Shanahan is picked up by another NFL team, beats the Broncos, and makes it to the playoffs in his first year with his new team.
5. LA Lakers Coach Phil Jackson will win his 1,050th game as an NBA Coach.
6. The new Administration will find it impossible to keep up with its promise to bring home all non-combat troops from Irag within its first sixteen months.
7. Congress will have a steadily improving approval rating as it begins to work on issues like global warming, health care, immigration, and social security.
8. Card Check legislation will be narrowly defeated in the US Senate after passing easily in the House.
9. An entire community of financial affiliates will go down with Bernard Madoff and his ponzi scheming friends.
10. The divorce rate will go down for the first time in years as more families stay together, for better or worse, out of necessity, due to financial restraints.
So, there you have it. Ten predictions for 2009. Feel free to keep score along the way and tell us if we made any huge mistakes. And, if you have any of your own predictions, let us know.
Be positive and work hard and have a great 2009!

Well, we may not have the same predictions, but we certainly do share the same disclaimers! Let's see who comes closer at the end of the year.
