"Always in motion is the future" -- according to Star War 's Yoda. That's especially true in the stock market, where today's winners may be tomorrow's has-beens -- or the other way around. It's never easy to predict what any particular industry or company will look like several years ahead. Before you know it, the most accurate forecast may be undone by a global health crisis, a busted mortgage lending system, or a game-changing artificial intelligence (AI) tool.
