John Mauldin is an economist widely respected by the media - he is constantly introduced as a "Guru" (this is how he bills himself - he publishes a "Guru Blog" - and the media mindlessly parrot the lucrative hype), yet he is statistically a "below average" forecaster, and an "equivocator," to boot ... : "Based on subsequent stock market performance and our judgments about the accuracy of John Mauldin's forecasts, his bottom-line advice about market direction was correct 42% of the time, below average. ...
