I hadn’t intended to do a “Rick’s Picks Predictions for 2012” because I’m skeptical that anyone could get it right. So many things could go wrong next year that it’s difficult for me to imagine the world muddling through the month of February, let alone muddling along for another twelve months. Still, I’ll give it my best shot in Friday’s edition, since I’ve already skirted the topic in an interview yesterday morning with radio host Al Korelin.
It’s tempting to try to stand out from the pack, predicting things that few of my guru peers expect. However, I’ll go out on a limb with this one here and now: I expect Apple shares to be trading no higher than they are trading now, and perhaps significantly lower. See you Friday!
Banks are holding back lending until the average American needs a loan, they hold the assets, and the economy is ready to advance. Do the same, hold on to your gold until the middle class is broke, malinvestment is cleared out in spite of the government or fed, and …. Sorry scoundrals!– is Jesus Christ returning?, the next novel move forward many years from now!!!
Thanks Rick, for allowing this beer sodden input. :__).
Let’s all float the Middle Fork next year,
