Prosper from the profitable opportunities of the next financialmarket super boom
In 1976, Yale Hirsch predicted a fifteen-year super boom--amove in the stock market of 500% or more. His forecast provedaccurate as the market rose and continued upward, eventuallyposting growth over 1,000% just before the tech crash in 2000. InSuper Boom, Jeffrey Hirsch, President of the HirschOrganization and Editor in Chief of the Stock Trader'sAlmanac, unveils the next market expansion. Building on hisfather's research from 1976, Hirsch has discovered that meteoricrises in stock indices are due to specific catalysts predominantlyoutside of the financial markets.
History has a way of repeating itself, especially in thefinancial markets. The American economy, and subsequently the worldeconomy, has always existed in a cycle of boom and bust: gold,grain, oil, technology, and most recently, real estate, have allbubbled and popped. The key to investing profitably is spottingmacroeconomic historical trends and positioning to reap thebenefits. Step-by-step, Hirsch puts together the pieces of thispuzzle by revealing the central drivers of a super boom.
* Examines how new cultural paradigm-shifting technologies, aswell as peace between major wars, could fuel a super boom
* Discusses how the massive injection of money by the government,in response to the global financial crisis and the Great Recession,as well as wartime spending, will eventually create an inflationaryenvironment
* The data and research found here is based on historicalinformation and the boom-and-bust cycle of the past century
As markets and economies struggle over the next several years,remember to keep your eye on the future and get ready for thecoming super boom and the next 500% move in the market. With thisbook as your guide, you'll benefit from the insights that onlyJeffrey Hirsch can provide.
