2023-01-02 18:19:38 Predictions for money, technology, economy and stocks for 2023

Here are some 2023 predictions for financial markets, the economy and stocks.

We’ve spent the last year and a half being cautious in the wake of the Bubble-Blowing Bull Market that finally ended early in 2022. Following this year of turmoil, the timing may just be right for us to see the economy morph into something healthy for while.

* The U.S. economy will be one of the world’s strongest
* Operating margins will expand
* The Federal Reserve won’t cut interest rates
* Inflation will bounce from month to month
* The stock market will be flattish for the year
* Oil will drop to $50 or $60 a barrel and stick around there for most of the year
* The Space Revolution makes progress, while not quite taking off

2023-01-02 14:28:13 IMF Warns of Global economy faces tougher year in 2023

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that 2023 will be a tougher year for most of the world economy because the U.S., EU, and Chinese economies are all slowing down simultaneously. “We expect one-third of the world economy to be in recession … Even countries that are not in recession, it would feel like recession for hundreds of millions of people,” said IMF chief.

Next year will be a tough year for China. And that translates into negative trends globally.

We expect one third of the world economy to be in recession … Even countries that are not in recession, it would feel like recession for hundreds of millions of people.

Is this all intentionally planned?

2022-12-28 14:52:53 Will 2022 Be Known as The Year BlackRock Lost its Edge?

The world's largest asset manager, BlackRock, has seen trillions knocked off the value of its listed equities holdings over the last decade because it failed to address stranded asset risk in several industries, according to market and finance experts.

That’s BlackRock’s Big Problem.

However, it has ended 2022 deeply, troublingly right in the middle of both. The asset manager is no longer circumnavigating the political quagmire, but is instead playing — and getting stuck — in the muck.

This begs the question: Has BlackRock lost its edge?

Forecasts say that BlackRock might have another 30% loses in 2023.

2022-12-28 14:03:48 'Oil Prices could Surpass $200' per Barrel — Investor Expects Oil to 'Crush' Every Investment in 2023

Amid the dreary global economy, a number of market strategists and analysts believe oil will be the number one investment in 2023. While a barrel of oil is coasting along at prices between $80 and $85 per unit, Goldman Sachs analysts think oil will reach $110 per barrel for Brent oil, and strategists from Morgan Stanley also believe oil will reach $110 a barrel by mid-2023. The founder of Praetorian Capital recently warned a barrel of oil could jump a lot higher next year.

Reports show that Wall Street is bullish about oil in comparison to equities, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals. Oil jumped a great deal in value this year amid the rising inflation. In March 2022, the same month gold reached its all-time price high, a barrel of Brent traded for $126 a barrel.

2022-12-26 18:56:56 Taxonomy: Is the EU officially going crazy?

In July 2022, the EU Parliament approved the classification of natural gas and nuclear power as sustainable, causing a big furore. For example, Climate Action Network Europe wrote that the EU Commission "sacrifices the scientific integrity of the taxonomy on the altar of fossil gas and nuclear lobbies" and has failed to "redirect financial flows towards truly climate-friendly investments". Other critics accuse the EU of “greenwashing”.

The idea of the EU taxonomy is to create incentives for private investors to invest in sustainable technologies by dividing investments into three classes on the financial market. In theory, this should divert the flow of money away from non-sustainable investments and towards more environmentally friendly investments.

2022-12-26 16:27:17 The Most Innovative Countries in the World 2022

Since 2000, global investment in research and development (R&D) has tripled to $2.4 trillion.

R&D spend is also casting a wider global net. In 1960, the U.S. made up nearly 70% of global R&D spending, and by 2020 this had fallen to 30%. From job creation and public health to national security and industrial competitiveness, R&D plays a vital role in a country’s economic growth and innovation, impacting nearly every corner of society—either directly or indirectly.

Along with R&D spend, other key ingredients play an important role in driving progress and innovation. These include technological adoption, scientific research, and venture capital activity, among others.

Switzerland ranks at the top⁠ for the 12th year in a row—above the U.S., Sweden, and the U.K.

2022-12-26 15:43:38 As the FED turns 109 years old, the US Dollar's Purchasing Power eroded by more than 96% since it was created

109 years ago, the U.S. Federal Reserve was created and ever since that day, the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has dropped a great deal. Since the Fed started, more than 96% of the greenback’s purchasing power has been erased via inflation. “The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.17% per year between 1913 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 2,907.18%.”

During the last hundred years, economists have blamed the U.S. Federal Reserve for a great deal of America’s rising inflation. American economist and social theorist Thomas Sowell referred to the Fed as a “cancer,” and former politcians like Ron Paul have called on the masses to abolish the Fed. Prior to the creation of the Fed on Dec. 23, 1913, America had two central banks the preceded the current U.S. central bank.

2022-12-25 15:16:09 How a Santa Claus rally or lack thereof, sets the stage for the stock market in first quarter

It’s the time of the year when the traditional seasonal lift for U.S. stocks known as the “Santa Claus rally” usually takes place. But unlike past holiday seasons, this one may get bogged down by the risks of a recession and continued rise in interest rates during the new year.

The Santa Claus rally refers to the stock market’s tendency to rally in the last five trading sessions of a calendar year and the first two sessions of the next year. Friday marked the start of the period, which will run through Jan. 4 this time around. Analysts said investors shouldn’t count on stock-market gains this holiday season, though some market participants are still holding out hope.

2022-12-24 15:23:05 Big Tech Collectively Lost $7.4 Trillion in 2022

This year has seen big tech hemorrhage money like never before, forcing massive headline-grabbing job cuts, according to a report from CNBC.

Not a single one of the top 15 tech companies in the United States made a profit in 2022.

Even amongst the tech industry’s "big five" (Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft), only Google’s parent company Alphabet managed to avoid any layoffs, although there are fears that job losses are on the horizon.

These enormous revenue losses and mass layoffs have forced tech executives to come forward with an apology and admit that they made a mistake.
