Malibu psychic Averi Torres shares her predictions for 2014, including a promising stock market and Hillary Clinton announcing her run for president. By Melonie MagruderSpecial to The Malibu Times

Averi Torres likes to go vaca-tion in Borrego Springs at the end of the year. The

high desert winds and open spaces help sharpen her intuitive instincts into what has been for years a knock on clairvoyance’s door. So, from Borrego Springs, Torres offered her annual predictions of what to expect in 2014.

“Last year, I saw a Santa Claus rally coming this year and, sure enough, it happened,” Torres said. “Look at the stock market the past few weeks.”

Torres said the stock market this year will be very “interest-ing,” with a roller coaster run the first quarter of the year. Averi Torres

“But by the end of the year, everything will be really up,” she said. “Of course, there will be cor-rections at that time and some people will make a lot of money off those corrections. They know how to buy when something’s down.”

Torres said the business world would see a surge in female entre-preneurs, who will find greater opportunities, jobs, capital and attention. She also predicted Nike, Google and Facebook are stocks to watch.

“Passwords will become obso-lete and other forms of iden-tity recognition will become the norm,” Torres said. “Hacking will be a huge challenge this year and the problems with identity theft will create whole new industries to fight it.”

Obamacare will see a lot of “hiccups.”

“There will be a lot of fraud,” Torres said. But there is “an 85 percent chance” that it all leads to a single-payer healthcare system
