WORLD-WIDE WEB EXCLUSIVE (PLEASE, DO CREDIT “MIDAS ORACLE” FOR THE SCOOP): Here’s what Nigel Eccles drinks when he works on the HubDub mission statement.

What's on Nigel Eccles' desk at HubDub.

Quoting HubDub forecasts in news stories about future events will be as common as quoting stock prices in financial stories is today or (in the UK) quoting betting odds for political elections.

In my view, the only way our good friend Nigel Eccles would succeed would be to get HubDub on television —like our good friend Max Keiser did with the Hollywood Stock Exchange in the end of the 90s.

Wow, that looks almost like my desk here in Paris, though my bottles read cognac, armagnac and calvados.
