2006 FORECAST ISSUE

ECONOMICS IN 2006

World economic growth should be reasonable in 2006. China, India, Russia, and Brazil will continue to grow at a rapid rate and continue to push the global economy. Every year Cassandra’s call for a melt down in China, and every year they are wrong. Where is the evidence? China recently revised up its GDP growth for the first nine months of 2005 to about 11%.

IT’S ALL STILL HAPPENING: GOLD, US STOCKS, GLOBAL STOCKS, COMMODITIES AND A FEW CURRENCIES ARE SEEING INFLOWS. REAL ESTATE IS SEEING OUTFLOWS.
