Forecast for ‘10: Partly sunny with certainty of more challenges

Jim Verdonik in the Triangle Business Journal writes that “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”, by Bob Dylan. What’s your weather information source? Do you trust weathermen? Or do you look out the window to check? If your weatherman had been struck by lightning a dozen times, would you get a new weatherman? I ask, because it’s 2010 economic forecast season. Even if they’ve been wrong the past 10 years, “experts” can’t resist the temptation to try again.
