Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock, managers of over a trillion dollars in assets disagrees with your take, Ryley.

He thinks the US economy is set for major growth. He has major concerns about Europe, but still thinks the US economy can shake off those concerns and post significant growth.

I tend to take his opinion more seriously than some others because he has a proven track record.

I'll not make any predictions myself because following the market is a hobby for me and there is much unseen to those not in the know.
