Jan 1/2017

I am wrong a lot so please take this into consideration
when viewing my predictions.

1- Bitcoin   ***CERTAINTY 30%
    bitcoin price currently USD 1,000.00 will go up big time this
year. Should surpass all time high in January and will hit
between $USD 3,000 at the low end and and $USD 12,000.00 on
the high end.  bitcoin is entering the perfect storm of currency wars
where every country is trying to devalue their fiat currencies (backed
by nothing) and all losing purchasing power. Public slowly waking
up to the fact that paper promises are worthless. RISK is that China
closes exchanges or severely curtails their operations

2- Precious Metals   CERTAINTY 20 %
    Silver will be the star in this category. These markets are manipulated
with ''paper silver'' trading in New York at about $16 currently. buying
physical silver looks to be a big winner this year and I expect at least
$50 to $100 this year. A depleting resource that has many commercial
uses unlike Gold.
    Gold harder to figure as some countries are going to make it illegal to hold
and/or buy. I do not rule out confiscation in some countries. Although the
gold mining stocks will do well at first I think all countries will either
nationalize these companies or more likely in western countries impose
large taxes claiming to discourage ''windfall'' profits of 'speculators' ... The
price of physical gold held outside the system over $2000 before year end.

3- DONALD TRUMP      CERTAINTY 20%
is going to turn out to be a very good president. Of course
compared to the last two decades it is a pretty low bar. He cannot avoid the
recession/depression which imo we are already in but he will cushion it a
bit. The spending spree governements and individuals have been on for the past half century has to be paid  and we are all going to pay the price. And 2017 will be a
preview of whats in store

4- Brexit     CERTAINTY  15 %
 .... British politicians will attempt to stop the ''leave'' movement even
though the people have spoken. The recession and a housing collapse might
scare the population of GB  but I feel the people are a lot smarter than the
conservatives give them credit for... Whether they leave or not I think that the

5- EUROPEAN UNION     CERTAINTY 10 %
...will disintegrate with Italy leading the way
and France not far behind even if Marine Le Pen is not elected


+++ CERTAINTY is the percentage I am sure that I am right
