My Big Predictions for 2023. Post These on Your “Refrigerator.”
By Gene W. Edwards.
A year (2023) grade of 4 out of a possible 10, a horrible year. The last “4” was 2021 and its yammering 1/6 historical echo of the American Revolution.
Economy is erratic to slumping until April. Oil revenue up. New digital, safe, currencies are coming. Cloud coins and even Bitcoin, and transfers of cash via cryptocurrency, all well secured, and not by blockchain, are being developed; not there yet. Probably this year.
Trump sentenced to 12 years, in all, in prison, which creates more political dissension. That ends his presidential campaign.
Jimmy Carter dies.
Bad year for climate and geophysical events worldwide, 9 out of 10 bad compared to the new-terrrible-usual 5 or so.
Putin dies early in the year of cancer, thus ending the war in Ukraine. Not one dime of reparations will ever be paid by Russia, and few war crimes prosecuted, none in Russia. Ukraine will fiercely defend all of its pre-2014 land and the Russians will eventually entirely tire of fighting there, like they gave up on Afghanistan years ago.
Fear high in 2023. “Death of a president” (I keep getting that!).
It’s 24–36 months off, but a banking crisis is coming. Move towards, and by then fully, owning cash and minimizing banking. Blame high public debt, environmental disasters, etc. Individual efforts and small groups of people always find prosperity via entrepreneurship. High inflation continues for a time this year. One safe haven is in owning gold. It’ll top $1,900 a troy oz. in 2023.
2023: a year of startling — unexpected — events. Crisis to crisis. Biden impeached in the House over Burisma Holdings but not convicted in the Senate. McCarthy does not win House Speaker position. Three-week Republican fight ensues to select its next speaker. Biden does not win in 2024. Start getting ready to say President DeSantis, of a party not as into authoritarian control. The bright spot in 2023 is the death of Putin and the end of his impelling part in the war on Ukraine. The deal is, Russians will want about all sanctions lifted if they are to leave Ukraine. For a time, the Dow Jones falls below 30,000 points in 2023 and the NASDAQ below 10,000 points. Despite all the confusion, I expect the economy to rebound sharply by April. We’re in much better shape than most countries, such as those in Europe and Eurasia. Prosperity is coming to you this year.
Love,
Gene.
