I have a retail IT background.
Forecasting is an important part of retail, and while it's tricky, it's not as difficult as forecasting global events.
I became fascinated with forecasting after reading the Black Swan, the Phil Tedlock's Superforecasting, so I'm here, laying this game.
Katvis was my gaming name from when I was younger, it was originally an insult from an Afrikaans friend it means "Catfish" and catfish in South Africa are really not pretty. Catfishing became a thing after I started using that nom de plume.
Don't worry, I'm not catfishing you, I really am as average in real life as in the virtual one. :-)
