MY (small) GARZARELLI MOMENT
MY (small) GARZARELLI MOMENT( 1 ) Yes, yes. Pride goeth before the fall, and I am quite sure that after having predicted, far in advance of other pundits, that Sergio Mattarella would succeedhimself as President of the Republic , I am due for a slew of incorrect predictions. But that's an easy prediction, on two counts or more. First, I am mainly involved as a professional in financial markets, where anything resembling 50% correct predictions is a GOOD result (money is made in how you trade around that, not in trying to bring that to 60%). But more importantly.... my predictions are ALWAYS wrong. Before anyone objects, I DO have opinions, which is the conventional way to say “a frame of reference of reality orienting choices in all aspects of daily life”.
