In my Annual Prediction Show, I review last year's predictions before making my new predictions.
Yes, this prediction is almost as crazy as saying in 2015 that Donald Trump would be the next US President. Few believed that back then, and everyone assumes he will be the nominee in 2024. However, almost every election has at least one surprise, and I'm betting this will be the big surprise. I have low confidence in this prediction.
Who will represent the Republicans if Trump doesn't? Nikki Haley because Ron DeSantis lost his momentum. She is light years behind Trump, but if anyone can beat Trump, Haley can.
This prediction implies that Joe Biden will win the nomination, not Gavin Newsom (who would be a better candidate) or any other Democrat. If Trump runs against Biden, Biden might win. But any other Republican will defeat Biden.
This is a conservative prediction. Deaths could easily be in the hundreds.
It will go above $80,000 during 2024 but won't close above $80,000.
Because everyone expects a bullish crypto year, I'm nervous that the crowd will (once again) be wrong. Still, it's hard to believe Ethereum will lose value this year, even with assaults from Solana and Bitcoin. Therefore, I'm making a moderately bullish prediction. I won't be surprised if Ethereum reaches $5000 at some point.
After a profitable 2023, the US stock market will likely cool off. Although a recession is priced in, not much other bad news is. Expect a modest year.
After spending 3 months in South Africa in 2023, it's clear that South Africans are fed up with the ANC more than ever. The main problem is that the opposition is fractured. A sloppy, chaotic coalition government will emerge with the ANC still the top dog despite its lack of majority.
He's been in a hospice for nearly a year. His wife died in November 2023. I hope I'm wrong, but let's appreciate his final months.
I've been saying this often, but now I'm super determined. Plus, I finished the dreaded South Africa chapter, so it should be clean sailing for the next half of the book!
To see my previous forecasts, check out my predictions for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

A subscriber wants to know: what is the ideal writing space?
It takes me 5-10 years to pump out a book, so I'm a lousy author to answer this question, but I'll try.
I answer the question in a three-minute video & podcast:
This house in California's Trinity Alps was nearly perfect because it lacked mobile phone coverage.
However, it had Internet.
