New Year Predictions for 2010

It is fun to make some predictions for the New Year this side of it and see how many come true. I welcome anyone's additional predictions. Here are some of mine.

  • Google's phone with its' many apps will give Apple's I-Phone a run for their share of the market this year. Both are still good stocks to buy but wait for the market downturn.
  • The Market should experience a pull back end of March or in April when the Obama stimulus funds run out. We are still not out of this economic soup.
  • Invest in SE Asia, China and India. The Matthews funds are a great place to find good diversification and great research and track records in their funds in these countries.
  • Brad and Angelina will not have any more kids this year although there is no telling about OctoMom.
  • James Cameron will win the Academy Awards and the Golden Globe for his amazing sci-fi fantasy AVATAR.
  • Business hiring will start to pick up again in first quarter but unemployment will not drop below 9% this year.
  • Going green will continue to be embraced by more and more people and composting, recycling and energy savings Green will be the new Black.
  • The Healthcare Bill will pass with only the Democratic vote and prove to be very expensive for everyone.
  • Social Media will continue to grow and dominate time spent on the internet and garner more advertising dollars than network TV.
  • The sun will come up tomorrow.

Enjoy the New Year. BOLDER K
