Review: 2006 according to Elmat. Only one month to end the year. Did far worse than 2005!!!!

Message 21814106

The 2006 year according to elmat:

Oil prices high. Will hit a $80 spike. High oil prices through to 2010 as result of the years of Iran, Liby and Iran lack of exporation held back the US embargoes.

REVIEW: it spike to 78. Elmat got it wrong, since it taked.

5 years window of opportunity of alternative fuels (bio-diesel and Ethanol) to get ahead.

REVIEW: Window is there. Open.

Pensions: industry will renegade on their pension obligations by the dozen.

REVIEW: I think only after Ford goes belly up.

US salaries will start being depressed.

US society start re-polarization, haves/havenots, white/black.
REVIEW: I goofed on this one.

Europe goes into disarray as Germany becomes inert under SPD-CDU coalition and disagreements over budget and agriculture subsidies. Labor strikes. Talks of leaving the EU only on the 2008 year according to elmat.

REVIEW: Goofed. Europe is taking full advantage of capital spreading more evenly and Globalization.

UK starts looking like the rest of Europe when it is discovered that government has been the employer of last resource.
REVIEW: I goofed on this one.

Eastern Europe new entrants still enjoying. Their rude awakening only on the 2008 year according to elmat.
REVIEW: I f Europe benefirs from capital spreading more evenly and globalization Eastern Europe will benefit too. Look like goofing.

Scramble to move industry to China continues unabated.
REVIEW: That was too easy. With Ford being nursing home and Siemens forced to bankrupt companies t get rid of employees...

Japan gazers will look to how Japan is coping with post-peak population since they will be Japan tomorrow.
REVIEW: No ay to prove Elmat worng on this one.

‘MUCK throwing’ will be the sport of the year as the popular press tries to downplay developing countries progress. This will never change
REVIEW: Apart from US lawmakers trying to block Brazilian products because of slave labor, there hasn't been many issues for me to ridicularize here.

Commodities? Aluminum will move to where the cheapest energy sources are. Iron goes up. Gold will track oil price. Sugar will keep tracking oil price.
REVIEW: It is going to be in '2007 according to Elmat too!

Middle East awash with cash, resulting for high oil prices, will start booming really good.
REVIEW: Yes. This happened.

Now this year will happen: US declares victory US pull out of Iraq. Europeans –desperate for markets- will accommodate the factions and starting doing business.

Automakers Ford and GM merge start to be mentioned in the popular press.
REVIEW: Not yet. Only GM merging with Nissan came about.

More trouble in the Caucasus Stans. Same for around Chechenia. Putin will crack them hard.
REVIEW: Acually this year the Stans were calm. Putin crakcing hard nly on wealth Russians to keep quiet in England. Litvinnenko was the message: "Don't mess with Russian internal affairs."

Iran – India gas pipeline goes ahead.
RVIEW: "Prospects of work on the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline starting anytime soon have been dashed by disagreement expressed by both India and Pakistan" Gooffed!

No breakthrough in the Iran nuclear stalemate.
REVIEW: Right on the mark.

Brazil will win its 6th World Cup
