    2016 is almost gone here in the US and predictions for 2017 are already in the making. Lets hope pollsters and media pundits do better in the new year. Here are some of the few that failed to come true in 2016 --and by the way, it was a good thing in many instances that these never materialized :cool: --- so, what were the other predictions that missed the mark in 2016?

    Have a Happy & Prosperous New Year!

    :)

    The Chicken Little economists say that the Sky is Going to Fall EVERY YEAR. That way, if we have a recession, they can say "SEE!!!! I WAS RIGHT!!!!!" despite being wrong with their last 2 decades of annual predictions.
