I've seen a lot of predictions for the new year out there, so I thought I'd make my first post my own version. We can check at year end and see how close I came:
1. There will still be a surprising lack of psychics who won the lottery.
2. Farmland and agriculture will continue to experience a boom in the US and abroad. Urban sprawl, woldwide population increases, greater meat consumption in China and India, higher demand for ethanol - all may make prices rise for produce and farmland. Notice I didn't say anything about residential real estate...
3. Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears will become nuns, only to realize their mistake later: They thought they were becoming "Pips" and backing Gladys Knight to jumpstart their singing careers. This after trying to join the Temptations...
4. Tatas Motors in India begins selling their $2,500 car. An enterprising John Deere makes a few quick cosmetic changes and markets their cheapest riding lawn motor as direct competition. In a surprising move, Consumer Reports ranks it ahead of the Tatas Car and half of Ford's lineup of cars and trucks.
5. Due to the high price of gasoline, McDonalds has to step of security (and prices) due to increasing theft of used deep frying oil for heating and cars. The smell of french fries pervades the air even more than usual.
Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 2...
