2008 Predictions

I ought to jot these down before it's too late. My predictions for 2008:

1. I do not think we will see any negative GDP growth this year, contrary to expectations of a recession.

2. The S&P 500 will retest 1350, at least intraday. At year end, I see the S&P at around 1550, attempting to retest the highs of 2007.

3. Hillary Clinton will win the 2008 election.

4. KU will put on a good show at the NCAA basketball tournament and win the tournament.

5. The Patriots will win the Super Bowl - duh.

6. Notre Dame will have another abominable football season and their coach will be fired.

7. Gold will reach the $1000 / ounce mark.

8. Oil will touch $130 / barrel. The average gas price will reach $4/gallon.

9. Iraq will be stagnant.

10. E-Trade will be acquired.

What are your predictions for 2008? Did I miss anything?

I predict Hilary will not win the election because she is a girl and everyone know they are gross.

I also predict a Jayhawk will continue to follow the financial markets despite denouncing them weeks earlier.

Reno - you're right. Not only has Jayhawk been following the markets, but Jayhawk has also been participating in the markets. So much for an end-of-year resolution!
