Hello, Readers

As I was thinking about promoting the next round of the Financial Forecasting Experience, I asked myself, why do I love Forecasting so much, and why am I so passionate about sharing it with others? This love letter to Forecasting flowed out as the result of that inquiry.

My love letter to Forecasting:
