According to the "Economic Report of The President 2015,” which I happened to be reading the other day between old episodes of “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” and three Pop Tarts, “In 2014, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) maintained a historically accommodative monetary policy stance. …. These tools included forward guidance for the future path of the Federal funds rate and additional purchases of longer-term U.S. Treasure securities and agency-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities. … The five-year decline of 7.0 percentage points in the deficit-to-GDP ratio since FY 2009 has been the largest since the demobilization….”
At which point I stabbed myself with a fork and screamed, “I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHO’S GOING TO WIN THE AUBURN GAME!”
Hello. I am back.
This is the only financial forecast you need. The Economic Report of The President has been put out every year since 1947. If it was that big of a deal, it would’ve been made into a movie by now.
So you should know how this works by now. Every week, the financial analysts of Weekend Predictions bring you the leading economic indicators for the week's college football and NFL games, such as this nugget of insight from Georgia coach Mark Richt on Wednesday: "I went and got my prostate checked today."
For weeks, Richt wouldn’t tell us what Faton Bauta’s completion percentage was in a scrimmage. Now he’s opening up on his bodily functions. Eventually, the media will break you.
Don’t worry. Weekend Predictions will continue its proud tradition of keeping my endocrine system out of the weekly conversation.
So back to me. By now, you should know how this works. Every week, I will give you the winners. It’s your job to find them. Occasionally, you will come across some “losses” (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know-what-I-mean) meant to throw off spies from competing investment strategists. You can find a key to these losses on Page 47 of the annual, “Economic Report of Weekend Predictions 2015,” which can be provided to you for $50 plus $27.50 for postage and handling.
Weekend Predictions also is again running the annual "Sack Schultz" contest, where you can attempt to pick games against me, and, of course, fail. Prizes include a $2,500 Apple Vacation, Chick-fil-A Bowl tickets, $50 Kroger gift cards, Fatheads and leftovers from the Falcons' 2012 draft (gently used). Enter at www.AJC.com/go/sackschultz2015.
