i have no idea about what you're talking about in terms of "can predictions be accurate and popular" - if you mean that the majority is mostly wrong, I wouldn't use this board as a small sampling of the majority - i think it's a bit more educated
having said that, it seems like Dr. Hed's calls have been a bit less "timely" here on IHUB - at least the short term ones (except for that 1263 bottom)
