My better half was in splits when he saw the title of this weeks blog. After 18 years of living with someone gifted with hindsight bias, he feels that he should be the one qualified to write on the topic.
The house mortgage, the car, even the holiday souvenirs that we buy have the been dissected with the expertise of hindsight bias. I found my twin soul in my best friend who was here on a visit from Sydney. YES birds of a feather flock together!
The recent article on the subprime crisis in the US has all the pundits declaring that this is what they were waiting for. Yes they knew it all along that the Bush government would mess things up in Iraq and that there would be all this problem.
Let us see if Obama wins?
Closer home, there are many Singaporeans who have cashed in on the recent en-bloc sales. Now the ones who were so hasty in signing up are regretting and there are newspaper reports on rising rents and how the expat population will give Singapore a miss if this continues. Now where were these pundits when the en-bloc fever was on in full swing??
