Over the next decade the Dow index will trade between $6000 and $12,000. 30-year fixed mortgage loan rates will fluctuate between 4% and 10%. The average surface temperature of the planet will rise 1 deg F and the west Antarctic ice shelf will collapse into the sea. Many diseases will be cured, prolonging millions of lives. Other infectious diseases will move out of the Jungle, claiming millions of lives. A team of US and Japanese astronauts will land on Mars. They will find no indication of life ever having existed there. The Ukraine will become the breadbasket of the world as a dustbowl envelopes a large portion of the midwestern United States. The "Global" will replace the failed Eurodollar. The skill with which the weather is forecast a day or two in advance will not increase. --MM

For the sake of possible discussion, I'm referencing a post of mine from another thread that seems relevant here. It was in response to a question about market tops just prior to a crash. #reply-5903215 GZ
