The truth about analyst predictions

You have to love this quote from UK Software and Service maven Richard Holway:
 
“During my 40 years in this business I’ve been pretty good at spotting trends. However, I’ve been pretty p**s poor at getting the timing right.”
 
Reminds me of one of the mantras of cynical UK reporters:
 
“Paradigm shifts are for people too stupid to spot trends.”
 
Hat tip to Dennis Howlett.
