It is a somewhat odd but nevertheless satisfying experience to know what the future will bring - at least at a trend level - no?

Yes, provided one takes the analysis as a general [supportive] guideline knowing that the specific details of the day to day management of the decision one makes are the responsibility of the individual making such decisions.

Caution should always rule in spite of the willingness to undertake risk

Even with the trend in such supportive role, we must still deal with the dragons, demons, and other evils who act against free enterprise. You know, bureaucrats, politicians, eco-wackos, social engineers, and other sundry hyenas claiming that business is evil, corporations are greedy and all the rest of song and dance they clamor. These could de-rail the best laid plans for success.

"The theory seems to be that so long as a man is a failure he is one of God's chillun, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil."

Ah yes, Dr. Doom and the prophets of gloom... well, I do not believe there is an antidote for that illness, like depression, it is largely self inflicted by an over working imagination, or worse, by listening to witch doctors prescribing pills that if they don't numb you, they make you crazy[er].
