|content=Responsible folks share w/ me hoping that if I believe them, they wont have to share under their own name. I shared some of what was shared with me.


* Add any prediction you like
My market saying is [[Early is another name for wrong|"Early is another name for wrong."]]</br>
* Help add sources so we know all of these are really predictions. Make sure to include a link if possible. If you're quoting from a long piece (e.g a podcast) give a timestamp, or another useful pointer in the case of long texts.
In UFO land "Early is another name for presumed Crazy".
* Keep the format consistent (between predictions and between versions).
 
Time to apologize.

|content=What am I most consistently wrong about?
 
A) Timing.
 
B) Pulling my punches.  
 
I am usually early but not always (e.g late on COVID but, as I also say, [[Early is another name for wrong|“Early is another name for wrong.”]]). And I frequently live to fight again by NOT going all in when conviction is not absolute.
