Its just illogical Alf. In theory they COULD all be wrong if there's some unknown factor that they've all been unaware of... But to suggest that they're all being deliberately dishonest is bizarre.

the whole point about the financial market is that it is all done based on the future price of an instrument at various points in the future. That's how they know there is a dip coming because the future has already happened

Across the entire financial industry it is a very accurate prediction
