    2012 will be about the same. After the election, all kinds of bad stuff is going to happen.

    Mayan scholars from 900 AD predict the end of the world in December. They were close. Do to no popular republicans to chose from, Obama is going to get re-elected by default. Then the economy will crash completely in 2013. :)

    Food or garbage is where you want to be.

    Oil and Gas field services should see some strong growth in 2012 as well.
