“When there’s blood in the streets, buy property” (Baron Rothschild in 1871)
Yep, 2008 was a lousy year for investors, and probably 2009 will not be much better. But on the other hand, it may bring some good opportunities to buy something with a really good price.

There is a lot of decrease shown in the various items of information you have presented here about 2008. Although these items did show up, one could say that the negative effects have been buffered by a wholesome economy that is more resilient than the one of many decades ago. The Dow Jones sure did head down a path it hadn’t been on in quite a while.

The quotes surrounding your predictions tell a story that runs on the side of your actual predictions. Many of these predictions do appear to follow the trends that are being started at this time. They seem more reality-based than some of the predictions provided by news sources.

Thanks for your flattering comment!

After a year I can probably say what Robert Caro said - “My predictions are notably inaccurate.”

However its fun to make predictions and should any of them become true - the better!

I don’t have a twitter account yet, but opening one is 1 of my next weeks goals!
I’m sure I’ll announce it in the blog.

I think that the US dollars will rise against the Euro and there will be trouble in the EU, could be that Germany or France want to go back to their old currencies.
