On August 19, 1986, I landed at JFK Airport and was picked up by my father’s old college classmate, James. After a few days of being with him and his family, he dropped me off at college in Montclair, New Jersey.
Coming to the United States was a new beginning for me. Going to university was like diving into a whole new world, where I had to discover something new every day. It forced me to figure out how things worked bit by bit.
And so many things that are so obvious today… were so hard to figure out on my own back then. For example, I didn’t know how to dress for cold weather, and as a result, I was cold most of the time in the winter.
What is happening in the stock market reminds me of that time, because today most people are completely baffled. Unless you have experience and knowledge of how the markets work, you will make all the wrong decisions.
And you could end up missing out on something that could absolutely change your life in 2017…
This critical thing is a bull market in stocks.
And I’m not just talking about a new major bull market in stocks that will push the Dow Jones Industrial Average to 50,000…and beyond.
I think when this bull market is over, the Dow Jones could easily be at 100,000.
I know many of you think this sounds crazy. However, think back to 1982, which was the beginning of the last great stock bull market. People were pessimistic about the future of our country.
An easy way to gauge the negative mood of that time period is to look at one of the most popular magazines at the time: Weather.
The September 6, 1982 issue of Weather introduced the new bull market that was just beginning.
Within the topic were doubts similar to those that people have today about the stock market:
Nobody predicted it. No one can explain it. No one dreamed that it could keep going day after day after day. But last week, Wall Street continued with one of the most incredible stock market sprees in financial history…The frenzy has broken records and then broken them again…Is this a fool’s rally or the beginning of a sustained bull market? ? Why has the momentum been so strong when the prospects for economic recovery are so uncertain?
Now, when you go back to 1982, you’ll find two amazing similarities to 2017.
First, there was incredible technology: the personal computer was just beginning to emerge as a huge economic force in our economy.
Second, there was the coming-of-age baby boomer generation, the oldest of whom had just turned 34.
And today, we have the same two things happening.
First, we have this incredible technological development: The Internet of Things is starting to revolutionize the way our world works in everything from our roads to cars to our health to every part of our lives.
Second, we have the coming of age of millennials, the largest generation in US history at 92 million.
An Amazing Bull Market Rally
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose from 770 in August 1982 to 11,750 in January 2000, a gain of 1,426%.
In other words, if you put $10,000 into the Dow at the start of this bull market and just hold it, you would have $14.2 million at the end. Unbelievable, Phenomenal, and Amazing Profits by Simply Buying at the Beginning of the Bull Market!
Now, I understand that many of you may be skeptical of what I just told you.
However, I have spent a decade researching bull and bear markets throughout history. And this combination of a major technological shift and a new generation coming of age is as close as you’re going to get to a sure thing in terms of a formula for predicting a new major bull market. And it’s one I’m betting my credibility and reputation on.
You could also buy an exchange-traded fund (ETF), such as the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE: DIA)to profit from this major new bull market.
However, if you want life-changing earnings and financial freedom, you need to find individual stocks with the potential to go up 300%, 500%, 1000% or even more. This is the focus of a new service my publisher will launch early next year. Check back here if you are the type of investor who wants this type of return.
These kinds of gains may seem unimaginable today, but remember that in the last big bull market we had incredible winners like Home Depot going from $0.15 per share to $52, a gain of 34,567%. There will be amazing winners like Home Depot for years to come.
