Do you believe economic predication? So far, Economic predication has been a laughing stock. Especially, the laughter has turned harsh after the credit crisis happened. Some conventional views say that it is impossible to forecast the economy and those who predict the economy are cheaters.

What do you think of them? In your view, is it possible to predict the economy?

Well, you know, if you put 2 economists in one room for a while, they will come out with 3 opinions.

Economic predictors are no more than popes. The mass are prone to to where the Authoritative persons point to, then the religion - like illusion become reality. Economics, my opinion only can be categorized into arts instead of science.

Lol! Even they are separated, they come out different opinions. You see, those economists never agree on a subject. Take Chinese A-share market for example, some predict that it will continue to slump. However, some say it is best time to invest in A-share market. Who should we believe?

"Economics, my opinion only can be categorized into arts instead of science."

Marrie, what kind of art is it, performance art?
