Since it is the season for both looking backwards in an attempt to explain the past and make predictions as to the future I thought I would add my own meaningless contribution. There is an old adage that January predicts the course of the coming year and a variation of the chart below has been doing the rounds so I thought I would generate my own.
My rough working out indicates the January “predicted” the outcome of the year about 66% of the time with some unfortunate and notable exceptions – there are always exceptions. I will revisit this at the beginning of February to firm up the prediction (wild guess)
