-7 I hate being cursed with this awful power. Last year I predicted that the company that my dad works for will have layoffs. I told my dad this, of course crying my brains out. That is, if I had any brains to begin with. I am the Great Prognosticator. HATE THIS POWER. I said, "Dad next year (2014) expect massive layoffs at Intel and other related computer companies." Now, when I told him, actually several times, no one on the news sites were even giving any hint of layoffs. But I knew. A few days ago, Intel announced that there will be laying off 5% of its workforce this year. With my predicting skills, I know it will be expanded once they do much worse than expected in one of their quarterly reports later this year. To at least 10%. My dad just had surgery as well, and is not eating anything. We also have to spend thousands of dollars to repair this house because we are moving. Also stressful. I have been right for 14 years about Intel. After the bubble in 2000, I told my dad that it will NEVER see a recovery like the "Good old days." 14 years later, here we are, with no recovery in sight (for Intel and related computer companies). In fact I see another bubble (in general). The Dow is going to hit 17000-18000 and then CRASH. That will happen either at the end of this year or early next year. I am absolutely terrified beyond belief that my dad will be laid off. He is at retirement age, and as people know, companies go after these people first as a general rule. Knowing everything is a curse, influencing everything is a curse. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It is a burden. It represents darkness. I see Hell for my family this year. I know everything about that. That is all for now.
