Predictions for 2010
Here are mine:
US economy does not improve.
Egypt blockade of Gaza entrance spurs new rocket launches, bringing Israel into new military confrontation with Hezbollah and/or Hamas.
Another banking crisis in the US, (possibly related to bank closures)
Rise in workplace shootings in US.
Gold and emerging markets continue to do well as hedges/investments.
