Dear Reader, Pessimism is rampant. I've worked in the financial industry since the mid-90s, and I've never seen a more hated rally. I recently ran across a startling stat: Only 27% of money managers in Barron's recent BIG MONEY Poll were bullish on the markets for the next 12 months. That's down from 49% last spring, and 56% last year. In fact, it marks the lowest level in 20 years. You might think the market's pessimism is a bad sign. I wouldn't blame you if you did... millions of folks agree. But after 20 years in finance, I've come to realize Wall Street sentiment isn't always a good predictor of market performance. And my friend & colleague, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud agrees. In fact, he's identified a strange pattern that turns ‘investor sentiment' on its head... It's played out a few times in history – in America and all around the world – and it's led to some of the biggest market disturbances ever. He says: "It's eerily similar to the events that foretold the end of the DotCom boom in 2000... and has historically happened immediately before some of the biggest market disturbances the world has ever seen." Dr. Sjuggerud has put together a shocking video that details the exact pattern he's noticed... And explains why main street investors could get swept up in what he calls: "A mania the likes of which we haven't seen in nearly two decades." Go here to see what he's discovered – and find out what it means for you. Regards, Scott Garliss Senior Analyst, Stansberry Research P.S. If you're over the age of 50, this could be the most important message you see this year. If history repeats like Dr. Sjuggerud thinks it will, this is all going to happen very quickly. If you wait even a few weeks – you could regret it for the rest of your life. Go here to see why. |
