I guess XEMUSD at the turn of the year will land in few cents area (3 to 6 cents),
XEMBTC - in area 500-1500sat (with Bitcoin price somwhere in range of 4000-6000$ after climbing to 7000-8000 and massive correction). I can be wrong if NEM Foundation has some good news behind the belt, but i dont think so. Deep correction after big gains in case of XEM is repeating pattern for his trading pairs. In other words, when Bitcoin is still in bull mode, XEMUSD produce sideways moves with tendency to little fading (around 20cents). But after the end of this wave in case of BTCUSD, there should be deeper correction, and slaughter on the alts, especially on those dont have good fundamental news. I remember about SegWit2x of course, that case can cause Bitcoin's problems to sustain his upward move (now this move is fueled mainly by speculators collecting BTC to get Bitcoin2x). After SegWit2x fork we can see deep volatility in BTCUSD, and wild volatility (with deep flash crashes in price) for example in XEMUSD and XEMBTC. So the price of few cents and 1000sat or lower can be of course reached in one massive, shortlived dump, after that return even to 10cents+ area and than could be fading to few cents. So keeping some Fiat (JPY) on ZAIF and pending orders (3-7JPY) could be very profitable i think.

In Spring/late Spring of 2018 however i see the price of XEM @new ATH (1$ or higher) and Bitcoin around 10000$ or higher. So in the nearest future (let's say December 2017 and January 2018) is good time to accumulate XEMs for good returns further in the next year. The cheaper, the better.

End of this year.

Sorry, yes i mean Catapult   

Check COMSA whitepaper:

"This new feature will be introduced in the new Catapult version of the mijin private blockchain solution first, and subsequently will be implemented in the NEM public blockchain in 2018"

You mean Catapult? (Mijin already exists). Catapult should be released by the end of the year in Mijin (NEM's private chain). Then, it will be released on NEM's public chain by the end of 2018.

We still got the problem that copypasting PowerLedgger take our spotlight! I am still sad that I bought SNC in the ICO & thought this is the BEST investment I ever made, but then PowerLedger came with the exactly same concept just 10 times bigger than SNC Alone the website of them looks like a BEAST & if I were new investor I rather would buy them.
But offcourse I am still holding my SNC because it will moon anyway.  But we need that BIG MARKETING now!

All this bump @ BTC is caused by BitcoinGold fork, and many (street but also Jamie Dimon hahah) buy Bitcoin this time, because of free new Bitcoins. But Litecoin can grow, and XEM in some way not(market signals that clearly). So i have moved my pending buy orders down to 1600-2400sat area. I dont want to buy some XEMs at higher price, when market can give me them cheaper. We must also remember that this Bitcoins run should end with crash as always, and where will be price of XEM after this crash? Highest posibility is for now 1-5cents area, of course without any fundamental good news from NEM Foundation side (Let's look what was with price of XEM after drop @BTCUSD from 5000 to 3000, i saw drop from 34cents to 16cents in XEMUSD). And i bet there will be for now no good fundamental news at all. Sad to say but for me there is no chances for 1$ or higher in this year, nor to be higher than Ethereum in terms of marketcap. Maybe in the next year (after bloody dump below 10cents mark). My main stack of XEMs stays of course untouched, cause i can be wrong in my opinion, so dont want to lose possibilities in longterm run. I dont sell it when it drops, only when it's bumped:)

You guys are lookng into such a short term gain.  I have chosen to look into the technology and not into minor pump and dump periods, for now I am happy with my choice.

falls lower ... when compared to Bitcoin's value.
How about comparing to USD or euro ?

Earlier I considered these coins one of the most promising and stable even against the background of a falling market. Now XEM behaves as something strange and falls every day lower and lower. I'm upset, because I keep these coins !!!

I dont see in this article any signs, that NEMs blockchain will be used too. They are probably developing own platform, and now is time for tests. That's a shame for NEM, but nothing is for sure. Or maybe NEM Foundation doesn't want spreading information about using NEMs blockchain, or about fail in her tries to attract Japanese Banks, but that's pure speculation. If NEMs blockchain will be not used by this 3 megabanks, that will be clear fail for us holders and for NEM, but not the end of the world. There are plenty of fields where NEMs blockchain can succeed.

And few words regarding price action. Bitcoin fly, NEM stay steady in terms of USD, crashing in BTC. Not good, now is other than in August, when XEMs price climbed brave after BTCs climbing. Or markets reaction is more retarded than in August, in case of altcoins. But for me it's clear, that XEM does not participate in this wave of optimism @BTC. I wish to hope, that it will change in comming hours or days, cause i wish XEMs the best, and dont want to see his price one more time around 10cents or lower (even if it is good oportunity to get cheaper XEMs from weakk hands).

Someone asked here about portfolios. My is 60% in XEM 30% in BTC (part of very old stack + one long entry @ 4330 partially closed @ 4770 unfortunately huh), and 10% in other pure shitcoins for playing purposes.

Hopefully XEM and not ripple like last time!  

It was very much that in the morning the coin was growing, but in the evening I see that she is going to fall again ... It's not very clear why. Previously, I considered this coin one of the most stable !!!

Yes its true.

ShapeShift integrates NEM to provide XEM token holders convenient exchange


https://www.cryptoninjas.net/2017/10/09/shapeshift-integrates-nem-provide-xem-token-holders-convenient-exchange/

The NEM.io Foundation, creators of the P2P NEM blockchain platform today announced that ShapeShift will integrate NEM’s XEM token, providing greater liquidity options to token holders.

I jumped into NEM train like 6 months ago and I am not going to fall off. NEM is the top 5 most sophisticated blockchains on the market. Problem is that it really lacks marketing. It is slowly going to right places, like the NEM 101 project. I would run it differently but it's still much better than nothing.

NEM really lacks the country and even state representants. Internet is wide and few people won't cover the whole world. I know that Lon's argument is to have small team but extremely talented and hard-working. But it isn't enough to cover the whole internet and reach to organisations. Opportunities are born from activities.

Europe is looking into Ethereum as an golden blockchain, with some excepts like NEO/Waves/EOS/LISK etc. Everyone is shilling them on facebook groups with thousands of users, on forums, slacks and telegrams. Attitude of "technology is more important than coin price" is inaccurate. No-one would hear about blockchain if not bitcoin price success. I believe that NEM foundation is doing good job, with man-power they have. Little tweaks, some improvements here and there and NEM will succeed tremendously. But this is my personal view on it
