| As goes January? By John Schroy, on February 26th, 2010 |  Leave a comment  Foreign investors and mutual fund shareholders were the primary buyers behind the Bear Market Recovery of 2009. Stock buybacks had disappeared, a significant modification in investor/issuer behavior that had been seen since 1982 and SEC Rule 10b-18. The rally hit a peak in January 2010, reminding many of the saying, “As goes January, so goes the year”.

On four occasions, gold has fallen 50% or more. Gold does not track inflation, but rather anticipation of hyper-inflation or war. In 2010, gold prices were soaring, reflecting fear of inflation from fiscal excesses of the Obama administration and continuation of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. If Obama is a one-termer, gold prices could fall.
