Boldest Predictions for 2013



CNBC's Boldest Predictions 2013



Good Riddance, $4 Gas



Gasoline prices will continue to vary widely depending on where you live. But an improving supply picture will help alleviate any price increases in the national average next year. In 2013, the return and restart of major refinery units from the East to West coasts, and particularly along the Gulf of Mexico, will enable the production of more gasoline and keep pump prices from topping the $4 mark.

Gates Back At Microsoft

With Windows 8 a disaster, and the Surface tablet not close to meeting original internal projections, Steve Ballmer'sdays at Microsoft in 2013 are ... over.

Hewlett-Packard Splits

Before the end of 2013, the company is restructured, with the spinoff of its PC and printer business as HP makes a last-ditch effort to be like IBM.

Buffett & His Elephant

He wrote in his 2011 letter to Berkshire shareholders that his "elephant gun has been reloaded, and my trigger finger is itchy" for a multibillion dollar acquisition.

New York Jets Up For Grabs

As the New York Jets franchise continues in disarray, season ticket holders will stop showing up at games. As a result, this will force Woody Johnson to rethink his ownership of the team. Longtime fans hope Mark Cuban is the buyer.

I think they are wrong on Gas.

The drive for Five is fully alive.

Gasoline has always been plentiful and oil has been plentiful.

Gas is the number one export of the United States.

That will not change.

In fact they will ship more out of the U.S. while having Americans pad their pockets with higher and higher profits.

 

[dmcowen674]

I don't think Gates would come back at Microsoft.

Big Egos are involved.

 

[dmcowen674]

HP will do more than split, it will disappear altogether.

 

[dmcowen674]

Sounds like Buffett may want a Cellular Telecom Company in his portfolio.

 

[dmcowen674]

Why would the Jets owner sell the team just because they suck one season?

Again Big Egos involved.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

I predict that the rich will get richer and the lower classes will get poorer.

We are in awe of Dave's powers of prognostication as his predicted President McCain hands over the reins of power to his predicted President Romney...

[s0me0nesmind1]

HP will do more than split, it will disappear altogether.

The largest global IT chain will magically disappear. Yup. Sure. You're a smart one aren't cha'?

 

[cybrsage]

I predent the dems and libs at anandtech will continue to whine about people who have the ability to think on their own and do not blindly believe the same things they were told to believe.
