Dear Reader
Happy New Year and welcome to the first newsletter of 2010!
2009, the year of the stealth stocks bull market has ended and now we enter 2010, the year of the stealth economic boom (above trend growth), despite having been a busy bee these past few weeks, so far I have managed to complete in-depth analysis for just 2 out of 5 forecast trends for 2010, UK inflation and economy with Interest rates, housing and stock market to now complete during January as well as the Inflation mega-trend Ebook.
Meanwhile this New Year special features a selection of 25 recent analysis that specifically forecast financial market, economic trends and present investment outlooks for 2010.
Also listed are the 15 most popular articles read during 2009 in advance of the results of the Market Oracle Readership Vote of 2009 and Master Forecaster Awards in the coming week.
Your analyst wishing you all a prosperous New Year.

Twenty Five Featured Financial Market Forecasts and Investment Trends for 2010
Global Quantitative Easing to Drive Across Gold, Silver and Stocks Bull Markets During 2010 |
By: Clive_Maund
The year ended with a typical light volume"Santa Claus" rally. Understandably there is considerable trepidation about what the New Year will bring after the prolonged rally from last March and the known fact that would-be sellers have been holding off in recent weeks, waiting for the New Year to sell for tax reasons. It doesn't look good, especially given the rather scary sudden drop in the last hour of trading before the Christmas holiday.
Financial Markets Outlook 2010, Wealth Protection and Investment Insurance in Unstable Times |
By: Elite_E_Services
We are not providing the solution, we are asking the question, how to protect wealth in uncertain times? The financial crisis has changed the lives of millions. One of them, Glen Pizzolorusso, used to be a subprime mortgage broker making more than $100,000 a month:
Sovereign Debt Crisis Could Cripple the Euro During 2010 |
By: Bryan_Rich
For the better part of 2009 the U.S. dollar was the world’s most hated currency. But it’s looking increasingly likely the tables could turn in 2010. And the euro could take over that unenviable title

Which Materials ETF Investing 2010 |
By: Richard_Shaw
If you chose to supplement your sector-diversified core US equities stock holdings with a diversified materials stocks ETF, which one is best for you?
There are nine possibilities, of which three, and maybe four, make sense at this time for our purposes and possibly for yours. Those exchange-traded funds are XLB, IYM, VAW and maybe MXI. They have more favorable profiles considering these three attributes:
Presidential Cycle Impact on the Stock Market 2010 |
By: Sy_Harding
In last week’s column I discussed academic studies that confirm the remarkable consistency of the market’s annual seasonal pattern, how with few exceptions markets in the majority of countries tend to make most of their gains in the winter months, and experience most of their serious corrections and bear market declines between May and November.

UK Economy GDP Growth Forecast 2010 and 2011, The Stealth Election Boom |
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The British Economy as with other developed economies entered 2009 in recession and on the brink of Depression, after unlimited bailouts , hitting the Quantitative Easing panic button and running a huge 15% of GDP budget deficit, the UK economy has managed to claw its way back out of recession as the Q4 data will show when released during late January 2010.
Why I am Bullish on India Economy and Stock Market 2010 |
By: G_Abraham
India is 1/10 th the size of US economy and EU economy and yet holds far more promise and resillience than both these economies combined. While the world focuses on Chinese growth albeit with skepticism and caution at the numbers being thrown out, no such aspersions have ever been cast at India. Indian growth has been a transparent and extremely well led, consumer and infra story.
Is the U.S. Housing Market Recovery for Real? |
By: Martin Hutchinson
Existing home sales surprised the markets by rising 7.4% to an annual rate of 6.54 million units in November, the highest since February 2007, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). That's only 10% below the all-time peak in 2005.
U.S. Dollar and Treasury Bonds At Risk Following Fannie and Freddie Debt Monetization |
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The background noise has been considerable. The US Congress, the august body that often passes legislation without reading it, evaluates a new initiative to reinstitute the Glass Steagall Act. Pass it, don't read it! Great idea! In the wisdom from post-Depression seven decades ago, the same Congress imposed firewall separation among the commercial banks, the brokerage houses, and the insurance firms in order to prevent systemic financial sector failure. That is precisely what happened in the last two years, without proper recognition or diagnosis, except by this and some analysts. Insolvent systems do not spring back to life with grandiose infusions of phony money and complete covers for fraud. They remain insolvent.
United States Debt Ridden Road to Perdition |
By: James_Quinn
Decade after decade, Americans have voted for intellectually and morally bankrupt dullards that promise them more goodies under the tree. Every day is Christmas in Washington DC. Long-term means the next election cycle to these traitors of the Republic. I have written ad nauseum about the impending financial cataclysm that awaits our nation. I have spent countless hours documenting the unsustainable path of our politicians’ financial decisions and lack of courage in addressing the forthcoming tragedy that grows closer by the day. Our political system is so corrupt and dysfunctional that there is absolutely no chance that our path will be altered at the voting booth. Government programs are fashioned, but never finished. The IRS tax code consists of 3.4 million words covering 7,500 pages of payoffs to business lobbyists. Simplicity is a virtue
