This year probably will change a lot of things in the global arena, first of all, the U.S. elections. Will Donald Trump be elected as a next president? Or it's going to be Hilary Clinton or maybe even Bernie Sanders? If Hilary will be elected we probably won't see any significant changes in the U.S. economy and policy, but in other cases, the changes might be radical. The next question is the European Union. Looks like Europe can't find its way to a prosperous future: EU showed a very weak growth for the last 8 years and now Europe is on the verge of collapse: millions of migrants and Brexit are on the threshold. The final question is China, seems like Chinese economy is trying to become more service-oriented, but meanwhile the growth is slowing down. Many people expect another Renminbi devaluation. No matter what is going to happen - the World in 2017 won't be as it is today, we are on the verge of big changes. I would love to hear your thoughts on all these kind of stuff.
Nothing will change regardless of who gets elected. Once in they all morph into the same person--- even mr change Obama.
No, it depends entirely on who's elected. If Hillary is elected, they'll go to any lengths, including helicopter money and direct monetization, to keep it all propped up. At any cost. If Trump is elected, those same people in congress and the fed will decide it's time to let markets clear and then blame it all on Trump.
A major war is not unlikely if Chump is elected. He is so aggressive and there are major problems looming with N. Korea, China and of course Muslim radicals. Europe has its head stuck up its own ass and can't reform itself.
America: Too big to fail. That's what the gov't/media cabal has in reality been telling us since 08, or maybe a couple of decades if you want to get picky. For mkts to clear, they need to deflate. There is no other way for them to clear. And yet they tell us that deflation is an enemy that cannot be countenanced. They will do 'anything necessary', with 'no limits', etc, etc. Because America cannot let prices drop, for it would destroy us. Too big to fail. America.
In such cases, people often scare by terrible predictions or talk about some crazily incredible numbers. Personally, I do not think there will be something significant, I just suppose, that the economic activity will slightly improve.
Obama never was a guy who could change something. He always was a good public speaker, good orator name it whatever you want. But he never was a person who gets thing done.
That's might be true, if Trump is elected we might see a mess in the market, 'cause he's not going to prop it at any price, and I support it, even though it might be bad for me and my wallet.
It's hard to say but I think Europe looks like the scariest here, destructions after terror are lesser compared to what might happen after the EU collapse.
