>rof,l.... Len, your eyes have glazed over. Before you wave their 'opinions' round perhaps you should find out who they are and what their history is. Their 'zero-based intelligence method' implies they are 'independent of anything'. Now that smells like snake-oil - "we have this crystal ball, and it can't be fooled by bias or opinion, it tells us the future.."
Seems I've got a difficult choice here, do I take notice of the opinions of a successful intelligence company with a history of accuracy in their reports & forecasts or the opinions a little man working in a tax office. Guess I'll have to consult my crystal ball to see which I should choose.
