Don't Believe Everything You're Told

I found this story on a Yahoo Finance page the other day. It's called “The Worst Predictions About 2008.” Normally I don't care to put up just one link of a page that I would otherwise just email to my friends and family. But these predictions are so bad, they deserve to be posted. Among the worst are why Barack Obama can't win; “Bear Stearns is not in trouble;” and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are “fundamentally sound.” What makes these more staggering is who said it.
