Best Trade of 1984: What Leading Advisors Think
Article Abstract:
A poll pf expert opinions done by this magazine revealed something of a consensus as to opportunities in foreign currencies, metals, stock indexes, soybeans and meat during 1984. Many experts are convinced the dollor is way above value. Prospects for Japanese yen and Swiss francs are positive. The expansionary United States dollar is responsible for a threatening level of trade deficit. The currency will strike its sixty-six week cycle bottom in early 1984. Silver and gold prices are near bottom and may move up in 1984. It is believed that election years create higher metal prices. If inflation increases, silver prices will probably increase. Long positions in copper might be profitable as current inventories are low.

World Trends Threatening Demand for U.S. Grain
Article Abstract:
The United States is expected to have slower export growth in the 1980s than it had in the 1970s. The two major reasons for this are the amount of grain surpluses of other exporters and the weakening economies of other countries. China, Taiwan, Australia and Japan are all in the midst of making changes in their balance of imports and exports. All of these countries are upset with the United States import-export policies. They are viewing their new strategies with that in mind. The United States rising transportation costs may also effect the share it will have in the world grain market.
