18 = 14 + 4 The Grand Cycle Equation

‘He’s called every high and every low in stocks and property since the turn of the century. ‘I don’t know how, but his equation works. ‘This man sees the future...’ Kris Sayce, Publisher, Port Phillip Publishing |
‘If you sit back, look at the universe and say, what equation holds all the cards, that would be E = mc2. That’s all I gotta say.’
That’s astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on the world’s best-known equation. E = mc2 was Albert Einstein’s stroke of genius. It shows that mass and energy are related. When you convert mass into energy, E = mc2tells you how much energy you’ll get. E = mc2 explained radioactivity. It gave us the source of the sun’s power. It introduced us to the horror of nuclear weapons, and the hope of cheap, clean energy from nuclear fusion. It even made space travel possible. But here’s something few people realise… E = mc2 is actually an explanation of time itself… Einstein’s basic equation led scientists to The Big Bang Theory. We’re now pretty sure the universe began in a hot ‘big bang’ around 13.8 billion years ago. More than that…thanks to E = mc2, we now have a rough idea what the universe will look like 13.8 billion years from now. As Neil deGrasse Tyson continues: ‘Our fundamental knowledge of the formation and evolution of the universe would be practically zero were it not for the existence and understanding of that equation.’ The true elegance of E = mc2 is this… It links three distinct parts of nature — energy, the speed of light and mass — together into one universal law. Now let me ask you this… What if an equation explained the markets in the same way? One that linked every component — stocks, property, bonds, commodities, interest rates, currencies and more — into ONE UNIVERSAL LAW? Seemingly random events in the financial world would start to make sense. Unexpected ‘black swan’ booms like the recent cryptocurrency craze would get put into perspective. You’d understand them better than most. You’d know not to panic when big stock corrections occur — like the panics in 2016 following the Brexit vote and Trump’s win; or the steep US stock sell off we saw in February. You’d know not to get suckered by sensational headlines about a ‘rout’ in Australian housing prices, or whatever the next crisis of the week is. You’d be able to see an underlying fabric governing the direction and motion of prices. You’d see big crashes like the Global Financial Crisis coming years before everyone else. And you’d be able to tailor your investment strategy accordingly. Does such an equation exist? One that, to use Neil deGrasse Tyson’s words, ‘holds all the cards’ when it comes to the investment markets? One man believes so. Specifically: He’s discovered that history repeats in the markets, with just minor variations. Those repetitions occur inside an overarching Grand Market Cycle. And this cycle is explained by another single, elegant equation: 18 = 14 + 4 What do those numbers mean? You’re about to find out. But why should you care? Because, according to the man I’m going to introduce you to, 18 = 14 + 4 — like E = mc2— has both explanatory and predictive powers. In his words: ‘Once you understand this, you’ll know where you are in a Grand Cycle of the markets...where you’re going...and what’s plotted for the months and years ahead.’ So, what IS plotted for the future? That’s what this special investigation is all about. You’ll see how the recent ructions taking place across global markets fit PRECISELY into the equation I’m going to introduce you to. Indeed — they were predicted. 2015, for instance, was marked PANIC on the Grand Cycle Timetable. A modest fall in the stock market was predicted. It happened. The S&P/ASX 200 shed about 2.5%. At the dawn of 2016, there was much pessimism, both here at Port Phillip Publishing and in the media. Jonathan Tepper came right out and forecast a 50% drop in Australian house prices, warning the downturn was ‘imminent’. Investors faced a ‘cataclysmic year’ with stocks set to fall 20%, announced the Royal Bank of Scotland on 12 January 2016. But the Grand Cycle Timetable said something very different. It said BUY AUSTRALIAN PROPERTY. And BUY STOCKS. The man I’m about to introduce you to wrote: ‘We suggest you do everything you can to make 2016 your year of increasing your earnings.’ That seemed counterintuitive at the time. But, then again, most Grand Cycle predictions are no different. This prediction was correct AGAIN. Australian capital housing prices surged another 11% in 2016. The S&P/ASX 200 did not fall 20%. It rose 6.9%. And through all that, a pessimistic attitude has persisted two years later. Donald Trump would end the world. Stocks would have a cataclysmic crash. The China–US tensions would cripple global growth. And Australia would, finally, fall into recession. In 2018 you even had mainstream news outlets, like the Australian Financial Review predicting the ‘beginning of the end’ for global financial markets. Or Bloomberg coming out with articles like ‘Get Ready, America. Trade War’s Coming for Your Hip Pocket’. So, it wasn’t just the gloom-mongers among us here at Port Phillip Publishing. If you remember, it’s been the general consensus in the press. Yet once more, the Grand Cycle said differently. And the man I’m about to introduce you to wrote: ‘Stop listening to all the market “experts”. They are not experts. You must stop listening to absolutely anyone and everyone talking economics, unless they have a solid grasp of [The Grand Cycle ].’ The Grand Cycle dictated that global growth would continue in 2018. That Australia WOULD NOT fall into recession. And that US stocks would, again, make even higher highs. At the time of writing, that has all come to pass. To put the current economic cycle in perspective for you… While we did see a stock selloff during February, year to date the NASDAQ 100 is actually up over 13%. When you look at it like this, it becomes pretty clear that all of those freighting forecasts were unfounded, just as Phil predicted. And that would have been no surprise to you at all…if you followed the Grand Cycle , that is. I know what you’re thinking: economies and markets are random, right? Well actually, they aren’t. As I’m about to show you, everything in the financial world runs according to mathematics of the very highest order. But what happens next in the Grand Cycle, between now and the end of this decade? And why could preparing for it be the single best investment move you could make? Keep reading to find out... You will see that the mainstream media has been completely misreading the situation in financial markets for the last 36 months. And that supposedly ‘huge’ events like Brexit and the US election…the US-China trade war tensions…are actually mere ‘fluff’ within the wider context of the Grand Cycle . You will also see that, if you are even remotely going to improve your wealth over the next few years, you absolutely MUST learn to do the opposite of the crowd. And you MUST understand the following equation: 18 = 14 + 4 I’ll explain what that equation is — and how it pinpoints market events in advance — in a second. First, let’s just assume that I’m right about this. What if you could forecast with precision every major turning point in the financial markets? What if you could apply this kind of specific foreknowledge, not just to stocks...but to all asset markets? It’d make your financial life VASTLY easier, right? Whether you’re an investor, a speculator, trader, retiree, or property investor... Not only that… Your mindset, at least when it comes to investing, would be serene… Articles about ‘fresh concerns over China’ or a ‘shopping lull stalling the US economy’ wouldn’t bother you. You wouldn’t break a sweat. That’d be a nice state to be in, right? Especially in this era where fear gets clicks and worry is big business. This is why you should read what follows very carefully... What we’re about to examine is this: What if there was an almanac for the financial markets? One so accurate, you could set your watch by it? Never again would you have to worry about what could happen next year. Never again would you be caught out in a down move on the stock market...in fact, you’d be able to profit from downturns. If you’re a rational person, you’re probably sceptical about any kind of long-range market prediction. Let alone one pinpointing a specific date. If someone really did discover a universal law that helped them make such predictions...they’d be Time magazine’s Person of the Year, surely? Well, I ask you to reserve judgment until you’ve seen some of the incredible things 18 = 14 + 4 has already predicted...in most cases, years in advance. As you’ll see, these forecasts are too numerous...and too accurate...to be the product of chance or fluke. Secondly, there are good reasons you haven’t seen the equation 18 = 14 + 4 until today. As Pulitzer Prize winner Ada Louise Huxtable observed: ‘...the institutions that teach elites to think about the modern world are unconcerned with teaching them to look at it.’ Einstein’s equation is the cosmic motor that drives the universe. The man I’m about to introduce you to is convinced 18 = 14 + 4 drives every cycle in the financial world: The real estate cycle, the commodities cycle, the stock market cycle...even the electoral cycle. This is why financial professionals, economists and academics have missed what I’m about to show you. They just can’t see it. Because stock market people tend to stick to stocks. And the real estate people stick to property. Economists and political scientists stick to their turf. So, too, do the commodity and currency experts. No one — at least to my knowledge — has found a way to marry it all together into one Grand Cycle. That is, until I met a remarkable man about five years ago... I first started working with him with a view to publishing some of his work in Australia. As a courtesy, he gave me the login details to the website of the small group of people he studied with. I spent weeks reading all his old emails going back to 2001. I discovered that he’d forecast the economy and markets with precision for over a decade... This was what CNN was saying in 2003, when war was raging in Iraq and the US economy was on the ropes... Source: CNN History shows there was no ‘second dip’. And while CNN was warning of a ‘double-dip recession’... THIS man was buying small-cap stocks right at the bottom... Also in 2003, Australian newspapers were full of headlines warning of a looming property crash. The Sydney Morning Herald reported on 19 September 2003: ‘Australia’s housing bubble could soon burst with damaging consequences for the economy, one of the world’s heavyweight economic organisations has warned.’ THIS man said ‘nonsense’ to that, claiming that Australian property would boom for years to come... In 2009, with fear still rippling through the global economy, he said unequivocally: ‘The “great recession”, GFC, call it what you will, is just about over...Stock markets will rise.’ Put simply: This gentleman appears to see things others can’t You could call it a second-sight, or sixth sense, or some extra-sensory understanding of markets...but you’d be wrong. There’s nothing supernatural going on here. Just a profound understanding that HISTORY REPEATS. But this is not about a run of good market calls over the last 18 years. What follows is about what happens next. The aim is to show you that by understanding this Grand Cycle...you can ‘remember the future’. And if you can do that, you could predict what all kinds of different markets are going to do years in advance...pinpointing rallies and corrections, crashes and booms...often down to specific dates. One man is doing this right now. More importantly, he’s going to share his map for the markets for the next 10 years with Port Phillip Publishing readers. This map is called ‘The Current Cycle Explained: Where We Are Now and What Happens Next’. We’ll look at this map in just a second. Before we do, I should say: What you’re about to dive into here is as ‘out there’ on the ‘alternative’ scale as you can get. If what you’re about to see is correct, you won’t just have a substantial investment advantage for the rest of your life. It will fundamentally alter the way you look at markets and human behaviour. It will make you realise that much of what you might have learnt in economics classes in school was actually ‘junk science’. You will realise why increasing calls for a market crash should be ignored. And why there could be even greater stock market highs hit between now and June 2020. Above all… You’ll understand why markets are at the level they are right now…where it’s likely they’ll be at the end of next year…and what could happen after that. I’ll freely admit: There is nothing more improbable-sounding than a hidden order to the markets that only a few people can see. But before E = mc2, there was nothing more improbable than atomic power. Or the idea that just two tablespoons of matter could release the energy of an atom bomb. If all this sounds too improbable for you...or too scientific, or too pretentious...this is your chance to jump off now. If, like many of our readers, you know some of the most valuable insights in life come from way out on the fringe...then I’d like you to meet someone... Sci-fi author Arthur C Clarke once wrote: ‘If by some miracle a prophet could describe the future exactly as it was going to take place, his predictions would sound so absurd, so far-fetched, that everybody would laugh him to scorn.’ That was certainly the case when we published a forecast by Phillip J Anderson in 2013. Now, if you’ve been following our publishing business closely, you’ll already be familiar with Anderson. Phil predicted — and still believes — that the Australian property boom has at least seven more years to run. This has flown in the face of some of the strongest views here at Port Phillip Publishing. And the scorn rained down from many of our readers. But those who have been bearish on property since then have been wrong. And Anderson has been right. At the end of 2012, the median house price in Sydney was $594,000. In March 2018, it hit $1,150,357.
In other words… If you’d listened to the bears, instead of Phil Anderson, in 2013 you would have missed out on a further 93% capital gain. Of course, Anderson’s prediction extends towards 2026. It’s early days yet. There is still plenty of time for the market to turn down before then, and for him to be wrong. But, so far, Anderson has been right. And his detractors are eating humble pie. And not for the first time... By mid-2003, the US had been in the economic doldrums for two years and was fighting two wars. CNN warned of a ‘double-dip’ recession, saying: ‘Increasingly, it looks as though the plunge has already begun.’ ‘“There’s nothing out there that’s going to lead the recovery,” said Brown Brothers Harriman portfolio manager Richard Koss at the time.’ But 18 = 14 + 4 told Phil Anderson something VERY different... In August 2003 he went on record with this forecast: ‘Be Bullish Amidst This US Downturn Gloom’ Anderson issued the following prediction, which would have seemed crazy at the time: ‘US central bankers, well one of them anyway, a certain Ben Bernanke, saying last week “we should be willing to cut the funds rate to zero, should that prove necessary to provide the required support to the economy”... ‘NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE HAVE ASSET PRICES DEFLATED WHILST THIS IS HAPPENING. ‘There are stacks of good-value small-cap stocks...’ Now...if you had listened to 99% of the world’s financial press and sat on your hands, you’d have missed an incredible opportunity to make money. If you’d listened to Phil Anderson and bought stocks in 2003 — specifically, as he suggested, Australian small-cap stocks — you could have grown your wealth by a considerable margin. The S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index went on to rise 139% from the month Anderson gave that forecast to its peak in 2007. Source: Port Phillip Publishing And this is EXACTLY why you need to keep reading. The markets have the media just as flummoxed now as they were in 2003. Mainstream economists really have no clue what’s going to happen. The NASDAQ has smashed past 7,000 points this year and currently sits at 7,413. The NYSE, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average are all at record levels. The ASX 200 is up 33% since early 2016. And yet… Every week you get economists and experts saying markets are going to crash. Just like 2003, they’re ignoring the Cycle. And, according to Anderson, getting it all wrong. If you really want to predict what’s likely going to happen in the markets throughout the rest of 2018 and in 2019…and beyond…keep reading. Consider the information that follows your personal ‘market GPS’ for the next two years Directing you into and out of the right assets and sectors...getting you into up-moves and out of down-moves before they start...and at the very same time the mainstream is telling you to do the opposite. We are entering a key phase of the Grand Cycle between 16 November 2018 and 5 June 2020. At the time of writing, that’s only 32 days from now… This is where some of the most life-changing gains could be made. But you need to know why…and where…in advance. We’ll get to that in just a second. First, here’s another example of how powerful this foresight can be... ‘Statistics Point to Housing Slowdown’ was the headline of a Sydney Morning Herald article on 28 May 2003. At the time, this may have seemed like a sensible prediction... Between July 2000 and July 2003, the median national house price rose from $160,000 to $230,000. A 53% rise in just three years. Pretty much every ‘expert’ believed a correction was coming. But thanks to the Grand Cycle, Anderson could see the exact opposite. He wrote in January 2003: ‘[In 2005]…you can expect less money flow into manufacturing, more into the speculative rent seeking activities. ‘It is then that property will go right over the top…’ And so it did. By July 2005, the median price had risen to $296,000. Then prices went ‘right over the top’, just as Anderson predicted two years earlier. Since 2008, the median house price in Sydney soared a massive 85%. Melbourne prices are up even more than that, rising a whopping 98% in the last decade. If you’d listened to people saying the boom was over in 2003, you’d have missed out on the biggest gains of the property cycle. If you’d listened to Anderson — and invested accordingly — you’d have stayed in a market that went on to rise HUNDREDS of percent. Anderson went on to spend the rest of the 2000s trying to warn people that a great global financial crisis was coming in 2008. How did he know? Because the Grand Cycle foretold it... In 2007, he gave the following warning on his website... ‘The collapse of the bank here in the UK is a really big deal, do not underestimate the probable implications. Repercussions will go worldwide next year. ‘Plan for the credit cycle to worsen. This has not hit Mr and Mrs Joe Average yet about the impending effects it seems to me. Why? ‘Because they have no understanding of historical cycles.’ Anderson wrote that right after Northern Rock became the victim of the first run on a UK bank in over a century. Looking back, you can see Northern Rock’s collapse as one of the first signs of a global credit crisis...one that nearly brought down the whole financial system. Few people, if any, were making such accurate predictions at the time, though... Anderson spent most of 2006 and all of 2007 trying to warn people where we were in his Grand Cycle. That real estate in the US and UK had reached a peak. And that we were heading for a massive, global stock market sell-off. ‘I had a very difficult time getting this view published in newspapers,’ he later told me. ‘In retrospect, I know why. ‘Practically all newspapers are dependent for their revenue on real estate advertising. ‘They don’t want somebody coming along telling them stop buying property, that we’ve reached the top of the cycle!’ Still, he persevered. On his website in 2008, Anderson predicted: ‘On average, US land prices will decline 20 to 30% by the time it’s all over. In my view, US (and UK) property prices have only just begun their decline.’ ...and, again, that proved to be the case. The curious thing about the Anderson forecasts is this... Every single one of them has been diametrically opposed to the mainstream media consensus. As he has said to me several times over the years I have known him: ‘Sometimes there are times where you have to see emotion in the markets, divorce yourself from that emotion...and do the opposite.’ Here you see the iconic cover of Time magazine back in October 2008. Panic swept the globe as banks failed and markets crashed by 30%. Also that month, another magazine called MoneyWeek, the UK’s largest financial magazine, published a very different cover story. It was by Phillip J Anderson. It contained a radical prediction. Again: The complete opposite to what newsagent shelves were stuffed with at the time. Instead of predicting a Second Great Depression... Phil forecasted that the US property market would bottom out in 2010. And that global stock markets wouldn’t just recover...they’d SURGE... Source: Moneyweek.com Remember, this was in late 2008. Cast your mind back to the state of shock and fear the world was in back then. Back then, a forecast like this seemed crazy. Phil wrote in the MoneyWeek cover story: ‘The US should hit its cyclical property low at some point in 2010...[After which the] US stock market will lead the way...’ Phil was the only stock market bull in the world in October 2008 getting quoted in the mainstream media. He was completely on his own. But he was EXACTLY right. Markets bottomed in 2010 and went on to reach an all-time high in 2013. As Anderson told his readers in 2008: ‘The current banking events ARE NOT BLACK SWAN MOMENTS. In the larger scheme of things, they are fully forecastable, if you know the CAUSE. ‘…Know the cause, you can forecast the result.’ The most valuable financial information in the world isn’t knowing what to buy. It’s knowing when to buy Or course, Phil doesn’t claim his buying forecasts are accurate 100% of the time. What he claims is that if you use the Grand Cycle to time your investments — be it stocks, property, commodities or currencies — you will be far more successful over time. The Cycle does the work for you. Imagine if you, too, could predict what was coming... You’d know when to buy more stocks...and when to sell them... You’d know in advance if it’s a good time to buy a property...or to stay out of the market... You’d know what’s coming in the commodity markets, and therefore whether to own or sell mining stocks... There are plenty of investment newsletters telling you ‘what’ to buy. That’s relatively easy. There are thousands of stocks in the world. Just pick one! But can you think of many financial advisories that tell you WHEN to buy and when to sell...months in advance...narrowing that instruction down to a specific future month, or even week? With that intriguing idea in mind, I have an important announcement... Port Phillip Publishing has teamed up with Anderson to launch a unique investment advisory service... It’s called Phil Anderson’s Cycles, Trends & Forecasts. And it’s dedicated to the most important question in investing: The ‘WHEN’ question. With Anderson as your guide, he’ll help you know the timing of every major market twist and turn well in advance. This will help you vastly improve your decision-making. And because of that, your wealth could be vastly increased. But this is a newsletter like no other. There will be no specific recommendations. There WILL be specific dates. As well as specific forecasts for various asset markets based on where we are in The Grand Cycle. They’ll be sent to you, via secure email, in a monthly report. But the primary goal is to educate you to see the markets in an entirely different way. Every month, Anderson will be your steward of The Grand Cycle: Showing you what news is really news, and what that could mean for your investment strategy. I’ve arranged a 30-day trial period for you to test-run Phil Anderson’s Cycles, Trends & Forecasts without committing to a full subscription. If you want to know a little bit more about how this service will work — and how you can use it to make smarter investing decisions in the coming years — keep reading! At this point you may be wondering: How does Phil Anderson get it right when everyone else gets it so wrong? More importantly... How did he discover something so many people missed? Anderson has made it his life’s work to uncover and study an overarching cycle in the markets...a Grand Cycle. His quest finally ended at an equation: 18 = 14 + 4. Most people on Earth — including mainstream economists — have no idea this equation exists. Of the tiny few who do know of its existence, fewer still know its predictive power over the markets. So what is this Grand Cycle? What is 18 = 14 + 4? CLICK HERE TO READ ON |
