Most all people love predictions. Why, there are souls who would not leave home before checking the daily prediction either in the newspaper or on the t.v. Predictions ARE big business, what with the Baba Venga and Nostradamus types.
Yet another area where predictions indeed loom large is astronomy. After every few months, some asteroid, some comet or, at least, some satellite threatens to be the ultimate danger to the Earth and the earthlings.
Most often, such predictions are a great source of amusement and free of cost entertainment. But what if the prediction deals with the world of finance? And what if it is made by a tycoon who has weathered it all, going bankrupt, bouncing back to wealth, writing 'how-to' books about wealth creation?
Yes, I am talking of Richard Kiyosaki of the 'Rich dad, poor dad' fame. Some time back, he made a dire prediction about the "everyday bubble" bursting the worst way, which in his opinion would be such a bloodbath in the share market, et al, that the Great Depression of 1929 would pale in comparison.
Yes, post Trump, the markets are volatile. Kiyosaki, of course, advises a calm, collected, cool reaction. He has even listed sectors that would survive better. One of them is supposed to be the bitcoin, which I find rather funny!
My real hope is that he had predicted the dire crash to happen on Feb 25. Almost a month is already over, much past the deadline. All seems to be well! Hope this predictive bubble bursts soon! Fingers crossed!!!
