At Auri Elan Financial, we believe Research is the key to successful investing. In addition to our own in-house research, we have access to many Research Reports published by LPL Financial Research and etc. We will be happy to answer any question you may have on these reports.
In 2011, business leaders, policymakers, and investors will play important roles in shaping the investing environment. We anticipate that:
The job market will stage a comeback. Slowing productivity gains have driven the need to bring on new workers, we believe business leaders will step-up hiring, ultimately resulting in the unemployment rate drifting lower. However, slow sales growth from tepid consumer spending will keep the pace of hiring modest. We expect nearly twice the pace of job creation experienced in 2010.
Policymakers will deliver economic stimulus. As 2011 gets underway, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will be in the midst of providing substantial economic stimulus. Later in the year, drags on growth will begin to emerge as the impact of the Fed’s stimulative monetary policy begins to fade and there is a gridlock-induced shrinking of the federal budget deficit.
Investors will play it safe. Inflows to riskier markets will be anemic, contributing to modest performance for both stocks and more aggressively postured bonds.
Currencies will influence returns. The currency impact on investing will be pronounced in 2011, as the currency war that began in 2010 presents both opportunity and risk. We expect a downward, volatile path for the US dollar.
