@the-gravedigger saidMaybe so. It's also a variant of "If a tree falls in a forest, and I am not there, does it make a sound?"
Is that the modern version of out of sight out of mind?
@ponderable saidAbout the DAX-prdicition: We saw quite a bit of a rally lately (still about 15% below that start of the year). lets see how the US election will impact that.
Seems like this prediction is on a good way...
We would need an unprecedendet rally to avoid it.
And I can't imagine anything, that could trigger that. (Short of the discovery of a new cheap energy source without drawbacks.
@ponderable saidThis one has not happened (even if the current Pope would resign or die it would take some weeks to elect a new one, I think the Cardinals meet 40 days after the death (or resignation) of the current Pope.)
To get the ball rolling I predict that we will see a new Pope in 2022.

@woofwoof saidA prediction late, but still in progress.
Vlad Putin will expand his belligerence into the Ukraine.
He will suffer a humiliating defeat.
He'll be unable to deny it via his usual channels of propaganda because his Generals and Cybertrolls will abandon him.
Politically finished in Russia, Putin will appeal to China for asylum.
America then gloats most heartily. 😁

@ponderable saidSorry for the grand guignol, but after Pope Francis dies or retires, I predict there will be a few murders and mysterious deaths before the next Pope is elected. 😉
