PREDICTIONS - 2006

OK, why not. It's almost 2006 and since I have NEVER been wrong, I offer all my wise readers a look into the year ahead. Why should I be the only one to have fun.

1) USC bets Texas 38-14 and earns it's third straight national championship.

2) The economy continues to improve defying the Cassandras in the Democratic Party and their running dogs in the MSM.

3) The DOW hits 12,000 by June and ends 2006 at 13,500.

4) Judge Alito will be confirmed and move the Court (finally) to the right).

5) The Iraqis will actually hagle together a government (this is the Middle east after all).

6) US troops will start to leave Iraq by Summer.

7) Interest rates will plateau during the Spring and then head down by the Fall.

8) Oil will drop to under $50 by April and to the mid 40s by Summer.

9) Pres. Bush will help the Republicans hold both houses of Congress, defying hopes of chowderhead Democrats and their running dogs in the MSM.

10) The Angels will win the American league pennant and go on to win the world series.

There they are. 10 can't miss predictions. All you need to know to get through 2006. Updates to follow as needed.

1) USC loses 41-38.

2) U.S. economy grew, although economic growth slowed. I don't have time to find what the MSM was predicting in 2005 and compare. So, let's say yes.

3) DOW doesn't hit 1200 until October and is still below 13500.

4) Sure - although this was a pretty safe bet.

5) There were elections for the National Assembly in December, 2005. I'm not sure whether it would be fair to say Iraq has a functioning government, though. (See 6.)

6) Troop surge.

7) Prime rate plateaus in summer, does not drop.

8) Oil at $75 during the summer, still has not dropped under $55. Price now is almost identical to one year ago.

9) Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

10) Nope.


So, 20-30%? How about some predictions for this year?
