I found your 2008 predictions thought provoking but somewhat pessimistic, clearly you were much more right than wrong and I was too optimistic. I am sorry that some folks decided to be needlessly insulting but I found them to be valuable. The comments are useful as a "decision record" of entrepreneurial thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-36373613963534947382009-01-22T02:10:00.000-08:002009-01-22T02:10:00.000-08:00Greg you should post your predictions.
