What about 2014 – and the bottom in gold and the rise of civil unrest.
I have to tell you that when I heard that the Republicans and Democrats in the States agreed on a budget deal last month that expires on September 30, 2015 I laughed. The first time I heard that date was years ago in a piece written by Martin Armstrong wherein his computer model was predicting that Sept 30, 2015 was a significant turning point.
Then the civil unrest in Thailand and more violently in the Ukraine gained momentum – right on schedule according to Martin Armstrong’s cycle of war.
I thought to myself – here we go again. I’ve been following Martin Armstrong’s model for over 30 years and have learned never to ignore his model’s key dates. Keep in mind this is the same model that accurately predicted well in advance the stock market crash of October 19, 1987, the fall of the Berlin Wall in November, 1989 and the precise date of the peak of Japan’s Neiki’s Index on December 29, 1989.
I could go on chronicling Armstrong’s computer model’s incredible record of prediction including the bottom in gold, the Canadian dollar and oil but the point is that when Marty’s model points to an important date I pay attention. As do money managers, government officials and investors from around the world.
I will go so far as saying that after over 37 years of having the privilege of talking to and reading a massive number of top flight analysts, if I could only follow one – it would be Martin Armstrong. His understanding of history, currency movements and the interaction of the widest range of variables on different investments is second to none.
This Year – Right Now
Back to 2014 – this year is a key year in Marty’s work on the Cycle of War. His computer shows that international and domestic tensions peak every 25.049 years. Marty doesn’t believe that 2014 will usher in a major global conflicts but he does feel that it will mark a rise in separatism and civil unrest just like we now are witnessing in the Ukraine and Thailand. The year is important also the in the rise of 3rd party politics that should become more evident in the aftermath of the Sept 30, 2015 date.
2014 could also be a turning point for gold – although despite the wishful thinking of the gold bug crowd it is too early to tell. What is interesting is that last year at the World Outlook Conference – when gold was still near $1500 – Marty said that his model was pointing to a low that would at least touch $1150 but could go to under $1000. Gold’s low in 2013 was $1151 – close enough for me. But has it bottomed?
I want to hear Marty’s take, which is just one of the reasons that I encouraging you to attend the World Outlook Financial Conference. Marty will join us from Switzerland (or maybe he’ll be in New York) – on Friday night for a special segment that specifically deals with the Cycle of War, Sovereign Debt and Precious Metals.
Then on Saturday morning he will do another segment on where he sees stocks, interest rates and the dollar going. Both of these segments will be a rare opportunity to hear one of the top minds in economics and finance.
I am confident that it won’t take more than a few minutes of hearing Marty live for you to agree. His methodology is unique as is his global perspective on every aspect of the investment markets.
And then there’s that incredible track record of predicting major turning points and that brings me back full circle to 2014 and the Cycle of War. The violent riots in Spain, the Ukraine, Thailand and the tragic situation in Syria are only the beginning but what does it mean for investors? How do you position your investment for both safety and growth?
What does his model say about the bond market and interest rates? So far his model has been right on with gold but what’s next … should I buy? Have we reached bottom?
What about the stock markets after the strong moves in 2013? How do I know when to sell? Should I buy any pull back?
And what about the Canadian dollar? Last year at the Conference Marty told the audience that the US dollar was going to surprise to the upside but now loonie is down 10% since then. Is there more downside to come? What about the euro and the yen?
My point is there is no one I’d rather hear the answers from than Martin Armstrong.
I hope I see you there on January 31st and February 1st. Our goal is make a huge difference to your financial well being and make 2014 your best year ever the Outlook Conference will feature the people to do it.
Sincerely
Mike
We’re pleased to post the full agenda for the 25th annual World Outlook Financial Conference including an expanded offering of workshops and seminars. Come out and hear some of the world’s top market analysts and prognosticators. You can’t afford to miss the event.
My favourite quote of the year …so far
“The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement” is one of the most interesting books I’ve read in the last several years. It details the evolution of the “me generation” in their social interaction that manifests in the popularity of Facebook to the quest to become the next American Idol to the exploding popularity of selfies. Everywhere you look people have discovered that the center of the universe is – them. And how dare the rest of us not see that.
Maybe we all are narcissistic to some degree but some people are far more advanced. Donald Trump immediately comes to mind, which brings me to my favourite quote so far this year.
As written in Vanity Fair, New York’s Attorney General Ed Schneiderman described Trump as “the kind of man who goes to the Super Bowl and thinks everyone in the huddle is talking about him.” Ouch.
Let us know who you think is in the running for Narcissist of the Year. I’m sure your nominees will be interesting.
Have you ever wondered if you need more milk, butter or chicken? Well, we are about to take a turn to the Jetson’s with LG‘s new Home Chat smart platform that allows you to ask your fridge what groceries its run out of – while you are at Safeway, Save_on or any other store.
LG has just announced a whole raft of new home appliances from washing machines to vacuums that respond to voice and text commands. But that’s not all that’s coming to the new home kitchen. Belkin has a new Crock-Pot WeMo Smart Slow Cooker, which can be controlled remotely via smartphone and will be available in March plus Kolibree has a new internet-connected toothbrush, which records your brushing habits through a smartphone. No longer will parents have to ask their kids if they’ve brushed.
It’s all part of the tech revolution that is gathering momentum.
For Investors Looking For Huge Growth Potential
I am thrilled to announce that one of Canada’s premier technology analysts and investors, Brent Holliday, CEO of Garibaldi Capital Advisors has accepted my invitation (maybe more accurately put as begging) to speak at the World Outlook Financial Conference in Vancouver on his rules for picking technology winners. (January 31st and February 1st)
While on a larger scale Brent is interested in what the same things that we are – namely finding some potential monster winners. Last year Brent may have done over $100 million in transactions but the rules of how to find companies with huge potential are the same.
Finally
I am unequivocal in stating that investors must get familiar with these areas. The World Outlook Financial Conference is your chance to not only hear renowned analysts like Martin Armstrong, Mark Lebovit, Peter Grandich and get Ryan Irvine‘s World Outlook Small Cap Portfolio, 2014. It is also an opportunity to get familiar with the most important investment opportunities of the next generation.
It is going to be incredibly thought provoking – and a lot of fun.

When I saw my first 3D printer operating just under 5 years ago my first thought was, “what the hell is that?” It reminded me of a slow motion version of the teleporter on the original Star Trek series. It was like presto – William Shatner just pulled a cup of coffee out of that box.
The printer jet was zooming back and forth and about 4 hours later – there was a coffee cup. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but it was pretty obvious something big was afoot. Flash forward to today and you can now own 3D systems’ Cube 3 (pictured here) for under $1000 but it’s more than just the coolest toy on the block.
Allow me a personal story. This year my wife and I were travelling to Palm Desert with our dog. The problem was we had misplaced the toggles used to attach the top and bottom part of her kennel (the dog’s not my wife’s). No store stocks “replacement toggles” but with a home 3D printer the problem is solved. You simply download the design – it’s free – and then let the printer do it’s thing. Presto – plastic kennel toggles – for about 20 cents a piece in materials.
On a bigger scale NASA has actually 3D printed, small satellites that orbit the earth taking pictures. They’re just one of 22,000 3D printed objects used by NASA today.
The enormity of the manufacturing revolution and the investment opportunities is mind blowing.
A year ago, legendary analyst, Jim Dines repeated his prediction on Moneytalks that 3D printing is the next really big thing for investors. His specific stock recommendations have done incredibly well. That’s why at this year’s World Outlook Financial Conference we have invited 3D printing expert, John Biehler to demonstrate 3 D printers that you can use in your own home to manufacture a variety of items. John will talk about the economic and social economics of this revolution that is impacting not just traditional manufacturing and retailing but also regenerative medicine and industrial design.
I hope you will take the time to come and hear John at the World Outlook Financial Conference on Friday, January 31 and February 1, 2014. Both days we’ll feature some of the coolest idea and investment opportunities in the tech world. In addition, you’ll hear some of the top investment and financial analysts in the english speaking world on a variety of subjects including – key personal financial subjects as well as where the dollar, interest rates, stock market are going.
