Last Year's Predictions
Last December I made a few prediction for the upcoming year. A few have come true (mp3 players in phones, the Knicks falling from 1st place to finish horribly, the stock market going up while the economy stayed stagnent, discovering nothing on Mars, etc.), while other have not (Chinese man on the moon, wireless cable tv, troop levels in Iraq, and google losing market share). I am still working on controlling the weather and time travel, and thus my ability to predict the future is still a bit off. Nevertheless, here are my predictions for 2006.
1) The Republicans majority in the House of Representatives with decline only from 29 to 16 (which would be a Republican victory considering a lame-duck President and his very low approval rate). The races with be among the dirtiest in history and will end up dividing the Republican party, creating problems in 2008.
2) The Dow Jones will end the year 12,571 (currently 10,798) after dipping to below 9,000 in the spring. The economy will continue to dwindle and the US debt will reach new record highs. Oil price will remain consistent at around $60 (which is way above where it should be, but will be considered acceptable).
3) I will move to a new home.
4) Next generation DVDs will come out and confuse consumers (same prediction I made last year). Cell phone will become more expensive the laptops.
5) Microsoft VISTA will not be released in 2006.
6) The Jets will draft D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT Virginia (hopefully). The Yankees will not win the world series, their division, or even make the playoffs. The Knicks will once again not make the playoffs. The Heat and Angels will win the NBA and MLB championships, respectively.
7) The US withdraws 30,000 troops from Iraq. George Bush convince most Americans that Iraq was a complete success.
8) Molly will take her first steps on February 2nd.
(maybe I’ll have some more tomorrow)
