Predicting Snow and Stocks

A July forecast of "rain, hail, and snow" mistakenly appeared in The 1816 Old Farmer's Almanac. The Almanac’s owner, Robert B. Thomas, caught the mistake and printed new ones but not before word got out. Initially, Thomas was ridiculed until it actually snowed that July. Is it any wonder that the Almanac is still being produced today? Such is the power of one good prediction.
