Wade, nothing personal, really, but there are a million opinions in the naked city ... the truth is we don't really know how politics and other events will impact the markets during 2013, but we should expect there will be significant ups and downs throughout the year.
We don't know how commodity prices will play out (oil, gas, coal, gold, silver, copper, etc), how the Washingtonian politics and other man-made events will continue to impact the economy (along with fear of yada yada)...
Anyhow, my point is that rather than try to predict how 2013 will go, it makes more sense to me to just watch it and be opportunistic (make investment decisions on shorter term basis) as different market stimuli and trends come into play.
