Predictions for 2019






Loyal readers can stop holding their breath. Here's a list of things I'll be wrong about--but I'm already working on ways to spin an explanation.

-Trump will fold on the Government shutdown but successfully spin it as a victory for his base.

-Stock market volatility will be high and things will continue to trend sideways.

-U.S. GDP growth will be in the 2% range. A recession will not start.

-Software companies and biotech companies will have a difficult year.

-Architecture will continue to be banal (is this even a worthy prediction?)

-Tesla will muddle through

-Renewable energy improvements will continue (is this even a worthy prediction?)

-The Democratic presidential candidacy horse race will not be resolved in favor of anyone.
