Welcome

Welcome to issue -31.

It seems impossible that we are halfway through the year (well, almost), and this raises the question — did I stick to my New Year’s Resolutions in issue — 56? And how are my predictions turning out?

My resolutions and predictions for 2023

So, what were my predictions and resolutions for 2023?

The Good Predictions for 2023

I had three good and three bad predictions:

1. A pan-specific COVID-19 jab — I still think this might happen. We already have vaccines that cover two variants.
2. The stock markets will remain flat for the year and finish where they started. (This is only a good prediction because I am saying it won’t fall.)
3. Global energy prices will stabilise but remain high.

So far, I have not seen anything about a pan-specific COVID-19 jab; please let me know if you have.
