If the weatherman armed with technology and millions of observations from the National Weather Service, can't tell us what is going to happen in the next few hours how could we possible expect to predict the future?

Those who win at things like gambling and market forecasting understand that any time you use your resources to put the odds in your favor 51% of the time you are doing well. And to continue to be better than 50% requires that you play the game by the book and never deviate from your system.

These people are making a conscious decision to look for the circumstances they want rather than leaving it to "chance". They understand the presence of chance in their endeavors but they tip the scales in their favor as much as humanly possible by seeking the right situations rather than letting situations seek the,.

You too can manage your business and your life this way. Find the circumstances you want, and take control over every variable you can in order to tip the scales in your favor.

The butterfly effect gives us reassurance that what do has an impact, but it also reassures us that the forecasting of future events, like interest rates, is far too dependent upon events and factors out of our control to even think we really know what is going to happen next more than about 51% of the time!
