Money and Markets: Investing Insights

2012: Stocks up 10% — or Doomsday scenario?

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — “Strategists predict a glowing 2012: Stocks forecast to finish the year up more than 10%.” Yes, USA Today reports that the strategists are high on holiday cheer. But is “America’s Financial Doomsday” a more likely headline for 2012, as international bank analyst Martin Weiss predicts?

Here’s what he sees in the near future: “An historic world-changing event is about to crush the U.S. economy and stock market.”

“Crush”? Is that word too strong? No. Even the International Monetary Fund’s chief, Christine Lagarde, echoes the warning: “The world economy is in a dangerous situation.”

Weiss Ratings was the first to downgrade U.S. debt — before the ratings agencies. Weiss has 500,000 readers because he’s been making solid market predictions for 40 years: The 1980s S&L crisis, the dot-com crash in the ’90s, the 2008 credit meltdown and now the new European bank crisis.

Hi Mr Weiss,

My name is Daniel Schweitzer and I am a new Small Business owner. Last Saterday I saw your vidio about the next financial melt down, and I must say that I could not sleep at all that night. I am in the process of a new business start up, and am about to leverage almost everything I own to get financing for this purpose.

Now everything you said was very logical and made sense to me, so now I am simply scared to take the risk, mostly because while I travel on my business trips to promote my new business I see 10 failed business to 2 still in operation. This has been difficult enough, but I still had hope that things were going to get better. now I am less confident “much Less”.

My business like most depends on the economy especially since the product I sell is purchaced with mostly discresionary income/money of my customers. I have been on the road for the last month I have had very much success with my products that my 2 son’s I build from our garage, but now I feel this may be a illusion of a false economy.

Please provide me with the best information that you can offer to help me make the right decisions, so that I am able to care for my family through these difficult times ahead.

Kindest Regards,

Daniel Schweitzer
