Since it is the first day of the year, I decided to give my predictions for 2026 and beyond. All of these are based on damped sinusoidal waves with 7-year, 5-year, and 19-year cycles. All of the cycles have been checked for significance.
* 2026-Anemic and below historical trending average.
* 2027-Higher than average potential for market losses.
* 2028-Even higher than average probability for market losses. This year holds the highest potential for a market crash in the near future.
* 2029-2031-Anemic and below historical trending market averages.
* 2032-Higher probability of better than average market gains.
I am telling my peeps to take some money off the top, and fall in love with cash and cash equivalents.
If I were to guess what the catalysts are, we have a lot of political risks (i.e., Trump tariffs), and market risks with AI being an over-hyped reality (similar to the tech bubble, but not as severe).
