I have been doing predictions for the past several years, with the exception of last year. I usually do better than the talking heads or writers who are paid to follow the news and make predictions. In 2014, I had about a 64% accuracy rate: http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2014/12/so-how-did-my-2014-predictions-turn-out.html
And unlike the talking heads or writers, I won't just a couple of predictions, I will make at least 30.
