This is the third year in a row that I’ve asked friends and colleagues of mine to make predictions for the coming year.In the past, when I’ve done these predictions, I’ve turned to mostly traders who follow public stocks. The predictions have been about the best long ideas, the best short ideas, and the estimated return of the S&P 500 in the coming year.
Rather than continue with that format, I decided to change it this year.
Instead of market predictions, I asked people for their best “sleeper ideas” for 2014. A sleeper idea is something that few people see coming. It’s a little followed idea that suddenly goes mainstream.

“The lower reaches of the credit market have become particularly stretched,” Christian Stracke, global head of Pimco‘s credit research group, said in a note last week. “High yield has become not-so-high yield, with credit spreads almost back to 2007 levels in many cases.”

I’m as big a believer in the transformational power of cloud computing as anyone you’ll meet. Smartphones, which are constantly seeking and retrieving data, don’t make sense without the cloud, and any business that isn’t racing to push its data and software into someone else’s data center is, in my view, setting itself up for disruption by a competitor who is.

Stop focusing on the cloud, and start figuring out how to store and process the torrent of data being generated by the Internet of Things (also known as the industrial Internet) on the things themselves, or on devices that sit between our things and the Internet.
