Predictive Conclusions

3. The year 2020 opens with a baggage of concerns and hopes which shaped up in the year gone by. Compulsive expenses grow and some of the concerns turn worrisome calling for solution. These worrisome concerns appear to include strategic interests, something in the sea or oil world, agricultural sector, warfare environment and opponents in the global perspective as well. Assets or energy resources may need attention. Indications also suggest that the US would take wise, appropriate and matching measures to deal with the said worrisome concerns, resulting in some success during first three months of the year 2020. In other words , during about first three months of 2020 , some success or forward movement looks to be likely in national and international affairs with which the US may be engaged. Economy may show signs of forward movement , cooperation of some international groups looks to be becoming available , agriculture sector may get boost or strength , plans of warfare strategies or notable warfare stuff may meet with significant success.

4. The months of April to June, particularly May – June in 2020 look to be trending into the scene some serious worrisome landscapes. There could be some war or war-like conditions across the world, which the US may be called upon to address. Sea or oil regions or such stuff seems to be calling attention. More care and appropriate strategy may be taken during April to June , particularly May-June in 2020 , against spill or loss of such stuff as are known for repugnant and repulsive smell through air passage. It may be alright to take pre-emptive measures against potential leakage or spill of oil-gas , dangerous energy resources in vulnerable regions or locations during said period of time. Attention may also be paid to volcano-potential or volcano prone locations and fires. Such locations as are in north-west direction when reckoned from Washington could probably relate to one or more of the aforesaid concerns. If Pennsylvania or Rhode Islands have locations with potential for any of aforesaid , taking of appropriate precautions there can be alright. The situation may involve huge depletion of resources. Economy may pose a huge concern during the said period. Some fierce storms, cyclones or some maritime disasters in the sea or regions nearby sea appear to be likely. Such states as Wyoming, Utah or Oregon could probably call for more care and appropriate strategy if there is potential trend of that type in one or more of these or any other States in the US. Industrial or manufacturing engine could halt for the time being. Iron-Steel, minerals and metals, foodstuff, real-estate, sea-food, energy resources, thermal coal, aviation sector could be either hit or face serious issues and roadblocks.

5. The second half of the year 2020 from July to November, seems to be introducing some kind of relief, can be described a change of season. Projects or plans left over from the past could gain a positive direction towards success. Economy looks to be set to grow well or at least show signs of moving forward. Some parts of August and September can be spectacularly significant as regards economic growth, cooperation or partnership with some powerful nations. Some meaningful and notable as well deal may be clinched. The second half of 2020 seems to be boosting up the prospects of existing political ruler of the country. During second half of 2020 , the last three months from October to December look to be presenting a mixed picture. Some storms or earthquake seems likely in vulnerable locations of any of States like Utah , Vermont and Georgia impacting foodstuff. Have an eye on separating or communal tendencies there.

6. It may be made clear here that, while every effort is made to present a picture which may guide readers accurately, still human beings are apt to slips and errors. Further, these alerts are based on trends likely to take shape while more care and appropriate strategy by concerned people can trend to either reduce the gravity or mitigate the happenings. So, human efforts and appropriate strategy has weight. In the light of these circumstances, the alerts of likely trends amount to neither deterministic nor having claim of certainty and are aimed at wake up call for more care and appropriate strategy.
