Now that the Rolling Stones plan to retire after their last Rolling Stones Tour Dates, it is time to recap the last years and look into 2012:
Last years have been quite tough from a financial standpoint: A lot of people lost a good chunk of their retirement and the interest on long-term investments could be negative or in the low single percentage.
While many people suffer it is clear that some companies found gold mines. Apple for example owns not only a large junk of the table market, but also safed up to $90 billon USD in the bank, b/c of their incredible smart product line.
Since 2011 was already a much better year in terms of stability we expect 2012 to come in similar if not better. While the European Union is fighting their debt problem, the US is busy with the unemployment rate and Asia must watch out that they create a market and stop being dependent on high exports.
We also look quite optimistic in the world since only a few countries such as Iran & North Korea are possible threats.
Overall is seems that there is a lot of money around in order to take for an investment with low interest. 30 years fixed mortgages for $500k already go for 4% or even less if the credit score is not too bad.
Well…maybe we should just do it like the Rolling Stones and just sing about it:
