Let me be very frank. I don’t like predictions. A French humorist once said Predictions are difficult especially the ones about future !! But my very good friend Tobias teased me and passed me the stick to write 5 predictions for 2010. So I have to meet the challenge.

1. My cigarettes consumption will be inversely proportional to the growth of interest rates.
2. The apple tablet will not be as a big hit as predicted. I don’t believe in the argument that “the tablet will be the same to netbooks as the iPhone was to mobiles”. In fact this is the first time in Apple history that they will have to create a market. Mp3 players were there before they introduced the iPod. Smart phones were there before they introduced the iPhone.
3. Bankers didn’t learned the lessons and any strong regulations haven’t been put in place. “New golden Financial products” will emerge.
4. Main investments from VC’s will concern companies involve in Geolocalisation and Aggregators.
5. Susan Boyle isn’t nominated for the Brit awards but she will participate to the ceremony, and maybe she will win something.

Well I told you that predictions are difficult !
