According to Experts

Have you ever read an article and you come upon a phrase called “according to experts”. Let us analyze this phrase. Any time there is some topic related to business or you can hold onto any topic and see this phrase quite often. Who are these experts and what are they basing their expertise on that they are held to a higher esteem than regular folks. In the economy, these were the same experts people relied upon to base their financial decision and look what happened (no need to go into detail here, you already know what happened).

These were the same experts who say that they were surprised that how the economy went down the drain with the housing market. I don’t understand this what happened to the expertise that they could not predict what would have been obvious from the start that what goes up will have to come down (unless you are in space, where you drift).
Another kind of experts are in the movies and most of the time the cinema goers have proved these critics (or experts) wrong by making a movie mega hit even if they (the critics or experts) don’t like a bit. Most of the time these critics are on the mark but when they are not they stand surprised. Why because human thoughts and actions are unpredictable and the future is no body’s exclusive domain (even if you are expert in it).

I don’t profess to be an expert in anything, I do mistakes and I am wrong quite often but when I see common sense I use it and analyze it instead of relying on these experts to make my decision (except when it is a life of death situation)
