Introducing Black Gold Disease: Predictions

By
Black Gold Disease is beginning its journey into the world of prediction where mathematical models and precognitive ability are often mistaken for each other. Most articles on this blog have addressed the current economic or financial situation of an entity with suggestions of what the future could look like. The BGD: Predictions page will focus on something different with a different structure and purpose. A visitor there will see a long list of links that connect to predictive tools along with explanations of each. The information found on those links will be open for anyone to use with downloadable Excel spreadsheets a goal for the future. Currently, only two links are listed (Deviation Moving Average), but more indicators and models will be uploaded over time. 

I ask everyone who reads my blog to at least come check out those tools to support the blog and the information it offers. Getting feedback and traffic are what keeps the additions coming. Any interest in collaborating or adding to this or the Predictions page will be welcomed. Just send me a message or comment on any post so far. This blog has come so far already, and I can't wait to see it grow more. 


I'll also be starting an internship at the Borgen Project as a writer for their blog. In addition to writing, a fundraising goal of $500 has been set for me personally. So please, if there's any way to support, come donate at the link below and list me as the inter you're supporting.


Cheers!
Jacob Hess

The U.S. stock market sat on the brink of a full-on bear market at the end of 2018 but recovered sharply in the first two months of 2019. Observers continue to monitor negotiations between top U.S and Chinese conveys that have yet to produce a decisive trade agreement. Soybean and corn farmers are two groups within those observers that are watching closely in hopes of seeing their markets improve. According to Reuters , USDA Chief Economist Robert Johansson reported that “under the trade dispute, exports to China alone have plummeted by 22 million tonnes, or over 90 percent.” The dramatic reduction in Chinese exports so far has weighed on the latest 2019 projectio...

The International Labour Organization (ILO) recently released its principal report of the upcoming year of 2020. The "World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2020" publication brings to the forefront the trends seen in the global workforce whether and how they are enhancing or inhibiting economic growth. The organization identified four forces that are changing the way we work and grow as a global society. As seen by the growth of inequality in most economies, "the lack of inclusiveness" is likely to "impair the ability of lower-income countries to reduce poverty and improve working conditions" especially in conditions of slower economic expansion. Despite largescale technological advancements that cause low-income economies to see an accelerated growth rate in high productivity jobs, those economies have lagged against their higher-income, more industrialized peers. The report points out that "between 2000 and 2018, the employment share...
