Hey, Ian, remember this Dauvin dude? <G> :


Actually, no. <g>

While I don't trust DataQuest forecasts, I trust company Chief Economist forecasts even less. Their forecasts help determine at what level of sales/earninbgs, the bonus plan will kick in. ... just a slight vested interest in providing a lower than expected forecast.

Any analysis of Dataquest forecast accuracy that I've seen has implied that throwing darts may be a better technique though they usually get the direction right.

FWIW,
Ian.
