		<description>Predicting the next person who will need a payday loan, or who is going to win the lottery is as tricky as predicting the future. Most often, fortune telling is bunk. A prediction that is specific has about a 50/50 shot at best, and if you make a vague enough prediction, then you&#039;ll eventually always be right. There were a lot of predictions about 2008 â€“ and a lot of them came up short. Oil prices plummeted like a rock, and it turns out that Barack Obama will be starting a new job on Jan 20th, as the next President of the United States. 2008 was one tricky year, and 2009 ought to be some fun as well.
