On December 22, 2003, FAR forecast system-wide economic and market failure. Most recently, in June, 2016, FAR predicted the outcome of the 2016 election.

Mr. Cunningham's keynote follows his 2016 forecast, delivered at the Texas Association of African American Chambers of Commerce (TAAACC) Annual Conference in Austin, Texas . As he noted at the time,

"Economic conditions in Texas are strong. Our research indicates that the economic recovery is finally getting to the most difficult to reach population segment, African Americans, those hardest hit by the crisis to begin with."
