Several Simple Suppositions and Suspicions for 2018 <\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

A New Year of Symbiotic Disharmony<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New Year is nearly here. The slate\u2019s been wiped clean. New hopes, new dreams, and new fantasies, are all within reach. Today is the day to make a double-fisted grab for them. Without question, 2018 will be the year in which everything happens exactly as it should. Some things you will be able to control, others will be well beyond your control.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"How new years generally work\u2026 [PT]<\/p>\n

Certainly, your ability to stop your neighbor\u2019s cat from relieving itself in your side yard is limited, barring extreme measures. What we mean is each day shall unfold before you \u2013 both good and bad \u2013 in symbiotic disharmony. You can count on it.<\/p>\n

But what are the specifics and particulars for the year ahead? What about stocks, the 10-Year Treasury note, gold, bitcoin, and everything else? Are we fated for World War III? Will this be the year Hillary Clinton finally croaks?<\/p>\n

Today we endeavor to answer these questions \u2013 and more \u2013 with hesitation and humility. Obviously, predicting the future is more art than science. But so is Fed monetary policy, or a charted wave pattern that extends resistance and support lines out into the future.<\/p>\n

Predictive Methodology and Disclaimer<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cPast performance is no guarantee of future results<\/i>,\u201d counsels your broker. Thus, we eschew common forecasting techniques for a conjectural approach. We look to connect seemingly unrelated big picture nodes with the illogical grace of an Irish joke.<\/p>\n

To be clear, our methodology is as unscientific as your street corner palm reader\u2019s. First, we engage all matters of fact, fiction, fakery, and fraud. Then, through induction, deduction, biased interpolation, and metaphysical reduction, we arrive at precise, unequivocal answers.<\/p>\n

But before we get to it, a brief disclaimer\u2019s in order. This proviso from King Solomon should suffice:<\/p>\n
