It’s so good to have a self-absorbed egomaniac as President. He runs purely on emotion.

I don’t wish to offend anyone by saying this. We are after-all wanting to be ahead of the game, not behind it. Sometimes this means seeing things from different perspectives and not be fooled into thinking ‘this time it’s different’.

It’s also helping to show you just how good WD GANN was.

And how ‘time’ works.

Here’s what we posted for subscribers at the start of the 2019 year. It was part of our usual start-of-the-year forecast for how the US market will go, based on combining set time frames. And of course an understanding of the real estate cycle.

It’s truly remarkable how this works.

This was our 2019 Dow curve forecast, done back in January 2019.

“Putting together the price action for all years ending in ‘9’, going back to the early 1900s, gives us a forecast curve as follows”:

We said back then US markets would follow the red line – 20 and 60-year repeats – for 2019. This suggested:
a very good 2019 for the market,

  • a strong finish to the year, and
  • a January 2020 US all time market high.

How prescient is that?

We also suggested that subscribers watch for Mr Trump to get carried away with the performance; to suggest that he was the direct cause, and that he would crow about it long and loud in January.

And here we are.

At Davos, 21 January, said the President: “The US is in the midst of an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen before.”

Trump went on to immediately claim that: “I have turned a stagnant economy into a roaring geyser of opportunity.”

This, we said, would be one sure sign of an impending market high for this part of the real estate cycle. The likely mid-cycle developments.

We pointed this out for subscribers one year in advance.

Our 2020 US markets forecast – our ‘Flight Plan’ is now out and part of the package for subscribers. It also includes forecast curves, with my commentary, for Australia and the UK markets.

This tells you how history is more than likely to repeat for 2020 and beyond and, based on your own individual circumstances what you could do about it.

Best Wishes
