Thursday, December 31st, 2009

The forecast for 2009, that was posted by me on January 3rd this year, came out to be not very accurate but definitely better than the one for the year 2008. I’ve missed largely with the USD-based pairs (especially GBP/USD — a parity! What was I thinking about?!), but the yen-based forecasts…
