On current performance we can trust you to find drivel with confidence. Leme see...

Is this the same Jessie Columbo that's been predicting bursting bubbles for years? The one that predicted the NZ economy would collapse last year?

The one who's prediction accuracy ratio is currently running something like rather a lot of Forbes pay-per-click doomsday articles to actually zero collapses?

I suppose at the rate he's predicting recessions he'll be right sooner or later. If he lives long enough.

And you reckon everyone else are sheep.
