As is tradition, I offer my predicttions for the coming year. Just as a reminder, here's my record since 2007:
2007 - 1 for 7. (my rookie year:)
2008 - 1 for 1 (gutsy picking one but it was spot on)
2009 - 3 for 5
2010 - 2 for 3
2011 - 3 for 3!!!
2012 - 3 for 3!!!
2013 I took a break, the launch of the new website took all my attention
2014 - 2 for 3
2015 - 0 for 3, bad year but came close on the stock market
2016 - 2 for 4
2017/18 I took a sabbatical
2019 - 1 for 4
Since 2007 I'm 18 for 36....batting .500 :)
Now for 2019...I humbly submit my predictions:
1. The Dow will hit a new record but will be a bumpy ride
2. SpaceX will fly astronauts from the US to the ISS
3. The Yankees will win the World Series
4. "Fake News" will be rampant including manipulated videos
