At least 2 SE Asian countries will drastically devalue their currency [ my bet is on Sri Lanka and Korea ]


At least one European currency retired by the Euro will make an re-appearance [ Greece or Cypress or an Eastern European country ]


The dollar will rally most of the year then hit the skids in the 2nd half of 2012 and the Fed introduces QE3


Gold and silver will remain sideways [ there will be spikes in both directions ] most of 2012 then move up around the holidays


The US will make surgical strikes in Iran, this will send oil up to and maybe pass $150 and gasoline @ $5 or more


The Arab Spring will continue and will spark a civil war in Iraq and spread into Turkey


We will see more municipal bankruptcies in the US


China and India's economy will contract which will spark recession in Australia popping the housing bubble there.


Central banks will continue to buy gold to build up their reserves s they continue to devalue their currencies on the race to zero.


There will be attempts to reverse tensions between North and South Korea


The metal value of pre-1983 pennies and nickels will be flat for most of 2012


48.5 million Americans will be on foodstamps in 2012


There will be a hybridization between the Paul faction of the tea-party and libertarian elements of OWS


There will be a naval "confrontation" between China and another SE Asian nation [ Korea or India but not limited to those 2 ]


Military coup in Pakistan { not sure if it will be successful ]


Rising nationalism in Europe with the creation of para-military wings in those countries hardest hit with austerity


At least one cult mass suicide


Japan's economy ( already tottering before the Honshu Quake ) now bleeding like a wounded beast after the earthquake will start to collapse as debt-to-GDP ratio hits 200%, it will

Here are my predictions:

Dick Clark will die and enter permanent zombie status

The economy will recover

The European financial crisis will improve

Obama will win and have a scandal filled second term

Republicans will continue to run on crazy

Sinlock will uncover BT's identity and expose it to the world

Coldplay world tour will be a huge success

The Outpost guild in Guild Wars 2 will last two weeks lol

Bonk will get a new job, new girlfriend, and get laid a lot

Most of those have a chance to be true any given year.

India, Sri Lanka and South Korea are not in Southeast Asia.

Japan's economy ( already tottering before the Honshu Quake ) now bleeding like a wounded beast after the earthquake will start to collapse as debt-to-GDP ratio hits 200%, it will

Japan has a net worth to GDP ratio of 5-6:1
