From Trade Wars to Bitcoin to Babies… | U.S. markets have been on a rollercoaster this week. Monday was brutal as investors digested bad news on the trade war with China. Tuesday, they took a deep breath, rising cautiously. Wednesday was another bad day. Since then, it seems the clouds have parted and the markets have steadily inched upward again. Naturally, in this environment, people are asking the question: Is this the end of the longest living bull market in history? It must end sometime, but when? Harry has a very specific answer to that question, which is why, on Tuesday, he emailed you his analysis of Monday's meltdown. Based on the chart patterns, trend lines, and cycles he's monitoring, Harry warned of two possible scenarios. On Wednesday, Rodney discussed what could be rekindling the bitcoin fire… and how long it will burn this time as it rotates in its own cycle and intersects with market and geopolitical cycles in general. You see, a significant portion of Harry and Rodney's research and analysis involves cycles. When considering the future market crash, Harry uses longer term cycles particular to developed and developing countries. He has four in particular: the Spending Wave, the Geopolitical Cycle, the Boom/Bust Cycle, and the Innovation Cycle (for the former; for the latter, the last cycle is Commodities rather than Innovation). When looking for shorter-term direction, he analyses different cycles with a more appropriate time frame… and then produces two possible scenarios. When determining which investments to make based on that information, he turns to Rodney. And Rodney has uncovered a particularly profitable shorter-term cycle that he will reveal to you over the course of the next few weeks. Watch out for details on that. In ECONOMY & MARKETS This Week The week before we married (and long before we had our first baby), almost 30 years ago, my new boss turned to me and said, "Son, you're never richer than the day before you get married." Hmm. For the next three years, I was reminded daily of his words. Decisions that I made alone before... 100%. That's how much the price of bitcoin increased since December 31. At last check, the cryptocurrency was trading at $7,502, after jumping 14% on Friday and 7% on Monday. For non-mathematicians, that's more than 20% in just a couple of days. Not bad. So, are cryptos back? If you're looking for an investment with... In my Economy & Markets video on Friday, I discussed why the trade deal has been challenging and likely doomed in the end. I also talked about the impact the "sudden" collapse in negotiations has had on the markets. Investors thought a deal was imminent. Now, they see it's nowhere in sight… and they're storming... Markets were badly shaken this morning as news of China's planned tariffs on $60 billion worth of U.S. goods hit the wire. I emailed Boom & Bust subscribers earlier with an update on my Dark Window scenario, and some insights into what to expect over the next few months. I've labelled one possible outcome "Holy... |
