I am sure a CFP is more useful in helping you in routine procedures and guiding you what has worked historically and not in forecasting the market. (I am just guessing since I am not one)
powayseller, if you mostly want to predict the future, I am sure a CFP will be no help to you. He will at best guide you along the probabilites of the past, but they will be different than the probabilities you believe in.
However, it might be useful to exchange information between both of you. A CFP might give you an idea what many other people are thinking, and then based on that you can adjust your own outlook. (Away from consensus if you think consensus is flawed).
