The financial markets generally are unpredictable. So that one has to have different scenarios... The idea that you can actually predict what's going to happen contradicts my way of looking at the market.

Markets work best when there's lots of information available and a historical track record to go on; they excel at predicting things like horse races, election outcomes, and box-office results. But they're bad at predicting things like who will be the next Supreme Court nominee, as that depends on the whim of the president.

It is hard to have great confidence in predicting what market reactions to Fed decisions will be.

Predictions are predictions. If you could predict the stock market, you would be super rich. But I have to race the race. It doesn't matter what I've done over the last few years. I have to race at the Olympics.

Market forces will one day crush the Federal Reserve. One day, the market forces will reverse.

Obviously, no one knows when the market is going to bottom out, and I am certainly not an economist.

Markets do very weird things because it reacts to how people behave, and sometimes people are a little screwy.

I don't think anyone can speculate what will happen with respect to oil prices and gas prices because they are set on the global economy.

Nothing ever surprises me about the market.

I don't really follow market research. In the end, I respond to my own instincts.
