We’d have to go back to 1999-2000 to feel the same type of nausea that the next 11 months have in store for us.

Forget the calm – 2017 is done. All financial indicators are pointing towards the clash between the Federal Reserve’s ability to manage interest rates in the right way, in order to ensure that the economy doesn’t become overheated on the one hand, and that they don’t bust the bubble too sharply on the other hand.

As far as trading goes, the Blow-Off Top phase, which we’re currently in and will last until the cyclical peak is finally reached, is characterized by the fact that only a number of companies will surge beyond belief, carrying the entire index with them.

In other words, if you intend to trade the volatility by going LONG, buying the NASDAQ or the S&P 500 is much safer than betting on any of its component stocks on their own – most of them will lag, while a select few explode – it’s the nature of this part of the cycle.

Personally, I’m not a trader in the large indices and never have been. Instead, I am a value investor in the most shareholder-friendly Wealth Stocks in the markets – companies, which grow at 9%-15% annually, without any intervention on my part, which saves a fortune in broker fees and capital gains over decades.

The data we compiled shows that avoiding buying and selling your long-term holdings, when starting with $10,000 as your initial stake, saves you over $154,221 over a 40-year period.

Sink that figure deep in your head because most investors hold much more than $10,000 in the portfolio – you play right into the hands of Wall-Street fraudsters by constantly attempting to time markets.

Instead, Wealth Research Group is preparing a comprehensive Options Trading series of Special Reports, which will allow us to act as the casino – others will pay you to gamble, not the other way around.

That’s the most profitable strategy in the stock market. In fact, Warren Buffett once said that if he had to start all over again, he would raise $10M and do nothing but this, and I am putting this tool, which I’ve been implementing for over a decade, in your hands.

Gold Update: The Stage is Set

Last month, America’s service industries, which make up close to 90% of the economy, grew at the fastest pace since 2008.

Couple this with the fact that the inner states, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Colorado, are booming, compared with the outer ring, NY, CA, and FL, for the 1^st time since ’08, and you know exactly why the market sold-off hard last week – inflation fears are real.
