It’s the time of year when Wall Street analysts take out their Ouija boards and attempt to divine the future.
There are a million reasons not to do this, ranging from “it’s a performative waste of time” to “it’s devil worship” depending on the particular method employed by the prognosticator.

What's the most loco thing that happened this year that you forgot about until answering this question?
What dubiously plausible thing do you think could happen in 2021?
What would you say is the most amusing prediction of all time?
