Shady74's Prediction Channel

They haven't merged and won't do so anytime soon.

Can't really argue with that one, oil might rebound only if OPEC cuts production, but otherwise its almost "scheduled" to stay within $60-70, altough I still think it can reach $70-80.

Very hard...specialy since Harry Potter movies aren't really the best ones, the vast popularity they have comes from the book fans, not the movie quality, altough the movies aren't that bad.

I'm pretty sure we can rule out anything below 500,000, because it would be unusual for Eminem and most recent "hit" albums, which weren't even good...sold very well in their first week (50 Cent's Curtis for example). Even Eminem's last project, "The Re-Up" sold 310,000 units in its first week, while being a good quality mixtape rather than an album and it had only a few Eminem or 50 Cent tracks (which equal sales). Yet the Re-Up sold around 1.7 million units in the USA, compared to Lil Wayne's new Carter III, which sold 1 million units in its first week and stands at around 2.6 million at the moment. A good lead single will definitely help sales.

Oil prices rebounded to $80 after the European Bank made its financial bailout plan. I still expect them to rise from now and perhaps drop on the weekend.

I gave it a 40-60 chance. Warren Buffet has a large advantage at the moment, which makes it harder for Bill Gates to retake the top spot. My personnal intuition tells me Gates will win.

Oil prices are falling down, but I predict they will rebound up to the $80-90 range. Altough they might stay slightly below $80.
