Analyst for Profit Confidential Newsletter Reveals Why 2011 Was a Dud

As 2011 came to a close, George Leong, contributor to popular financial newsletter Profit Confidential, analyzed the year and why the forecasts have slightly missed their mark.

New York, NY (prHWY.com) January 4, 2012 - As 2011 came to a close, George Leong, contributor to popular financial newsletter Profit Confidential, analyzed the year and why the forecasts have slightly missed their mark.

"I expected tech and small-caps to drive the market in 2011," Leong writes in Profit Confidential, "It looked that way earlier in the year, but then the European debt crisis materialized, China stalled, and stocks began to sink quickly."

Leong notes that, domestically, the housing market failed to improve at all in 2011. President Barack Obama's initiatives to reduce unemployment and drive consumer spending have fallen short of any sustained growth. The jobs market remains a major issue.

"The lack of any leadership was the downfall for many in 2011," says Leong, "The big banks failed to attract buying, while technology had its moments, but overall failed to inspire traders."

Leong believes that Europe will continue to be a major hurdle in 2012. "China is also stalling," says Leong. According to the analyst, China's GDP estimates for 2012 range from as low as 6.5% to as high as 9.5%. "I continue to favor China over the next several years, as long as Europe regenerates."

Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $300 an ounce. In 2006, it "begged" its readers to get out of the housing market...before it plunged.

Profit Confidential was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007. The daily e-letter correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And Profit Confidential turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011, a gain of 99%.
