Dear Reader,
Welcome to the last edition of Money Morning for 2012.
And what a year it’s been! We’ve seen a lot…thought a lot…and written a lot.
Too much, according to one reader in our mailbag:
‘Too much bland talk before any subject matter, you lose your client before you start. People need facts, not words. Repeating the same information does not impress a potential client. Takes too long to even get to the start of subject. I just switch off!’
This note made us chuckle.
So in that spirit we thought it would be fun to end the year with a look back at the most talked-about articles from the year that’s soon-to-be-was.
See what we got right. What we got wrong. The rockers. The shockers. You be the judge!
We’ll be back with you as usual on Tuesday.
Until then, have a great celebration tonight and Happy New Year from us!
Kris and the team

The Resource Boom is Dead…but the Next Resource Boom Has Just Begun
The bears say new supply, a Chinese hard landing and a deflationary economy will knock commodity prices over and hold them down…
