were your 2009 predictions right?
Published Jun. 18, 2009Views: 1819
Okay GOLO, we are halfway through 2009, so I decided to go back and take a look at our predictions for 2009 that we all shared on New Year's Eve.
Well, some of my prediction has already come to pass. I predicted that three major newspapers would go online-only in 2009.
Well, can you say Rocky Mountain News and Seattle Post-Intelligencer? All I need is one more and my prediction becomes reality.
Oh, and here's one from Ken D:
At least one major automaker will go bankrupt, sending unemployment over 10% nationally, and taking the Dow below 7000. We will still be in recession at year end.
Looks like he was dead on, eh?
How about you?
Go back and check out the list, and tell us how you're doing so far.

Yes, except for the Dow thing.

only kind of wrong, the dow did dip below 7000, but before any automaker officially declared bankruptcy. however, gm and chrysler were both technically bankrupt before the dow dipped below 7000.
