No one listens to me  even though I am nearly always correct on the markets. How many examples would you need.
Would you mind making each future market prediction in a binary form (which can be objectively judged as true or false by a specified date) along with a specific numeric probability estimate (which you can subsequently update any time)?
Probabilistic predictions are okay as long as you keep a comprehensive list of all of them. You can then test how many of the "80%" predictions are satisfied relative to the ideal 80%.
Now that you mention it, I'm surprised that someone hasn't done that with Gallup's huge swath of polls.
Nate Silver has been evaluating the quality of pollsters for a long time, as discussed here:
