This is Brilliant…The Inability to Predict

If anyone tells you that they can make accurate predictions, hold on to your wallet.

Most strategists predict the future of the economy or asset classes. Most analysts predict the future of earnings and such. The noise is everywhere, so it requires investors to be active about ignoring it.
