Motley Fool analysts give their outrageous predictions for the world of investing in 2014 to show that sometimes making predictions can be silly. Will Bitcoin be Person of the Year? Will the markets keep trending upward?

Financial media pundits are constantly making predictions about the future that are far more certain than they have any right to be.

Will George Zimmer, formerly of Men's Wearhouse, run for political office on a marijuana legalization platform? Will Bitcoin be Time's person of the year? And, most importantly, will the markets continue upward for a sixth year in a row? Can anyone make these predictions in advance with any degree of certainty, and should investors trust people who do?
