Cute PS. It's sad that the last prediction (a woman occupies the top spot at more than 60 Fortune 500 companies by the end of the year) is just as unlikely as the rest
In the same spirit, GS top ten 2018 trades discussed here. http://macro-man.blogspot.com.br/2017/12/a-call-to-arms-give-us-your-best-trade.html
It is difficult to go hard left with current gerrymandering of districts and not very enthusiastic young and minority voters in off presidential year voting
This is a foregone conclusion...a demographic certainty. Gerrymandering is quite cruel in that respect. All these barely red suburban congressional districts are going to tip blue for no reason other than population growth. An objectionable social policy from the GOP (because what does the GOP stand for other than more government regulation of society?!) will help that along. Plus Anthony Kennedy may well allow political challenges to gerrymandering that will bring the whole thing to fruition 1-3 years early. The more adventurous prediction would be the demise of the GOP, but I'd say that 2020 or 2024 would be more the mark for that.
Predictions and goals are worthless without checking if they were achieved. Last year's predictions https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...utrageous-predictions-for-2017-605153916.html I am too lazy to check all 10, but they were wrong on Brexit. They got Bitcoin right. They said it was going to triple from 700 to 2100. Somebody less lazy could check all 10....
I think the point of their "outrageous predictions for 2018" is to be outrageous. Any bank in their right mind that was worried about being judged on the accuracy of their predictions, would make far more easily-attainable predictions.
