“The year knows his last day… You know Your not!” We read in a famous poem by Erich Kästner. But as far as we want, it is now also not come. Normally, the time is now for a review of the year to come. But what happened, most people know anyway. Therefore, we dare. Admittedly, this is a one year look ahead much more difficult.

• In the United States will look after the re-inauguration of President Obama with the Fiscal Cliff deal. It is likely that it will come at the very last second to reach an agreement of the negotiating parties.

What this year will bring? We let us surprise you! In 365 days, what no one can predict to happen. It is part of a voltage factor to life.
