If they get anything right it's more because of pure luck, than of actual insight.

Wow, they're even below the statistical chance of being rightOne would expect at least 3-6 claims to come true, 1 of 10 is truly an epic fail (especially since the exact opposites of some of the predictions came true AND the only instance where they have come true to being right - the Irianian 'revolution' - happened for a different reason)
Just one question: What's the prediction you thing they got right? Because I don't see any of them to be.

See previous posts. The post-election unrest in Iran could be seen as a form of revolt against the regime.

If anything, I think an Iranian revolution could be a viable option for 2010.

Unrest =/= revolution. So Saxo Bank failed again.
The unrest not being a revolution nonwithstanding, it wasn't caused by the lack of resources due to cheap oil, it was caused by election fraud. So it's still a failed prediction.

Expecting banks to be able to predict the future is absurd in the first place.
If you act on their 'predictions', it's not taking good advice. It's gambling with the aid of an excuse.
