      I have access to a quant system that looks for and identify cycles. It looks at markets on all time frames and on a yearly level it is very very interesting. It's showing 2019 as a direction change followed by 4 successive years of panic cycles. Possibly outside reversals on a yearly level or sheer panic. It'll be interesting times ahead to say the least as a grain farmer. It's also showing trend into 2024

        Macdon, could you explain what you are talking about in more detail.

        Sorry, I’m not bright enough on my own.

          He is likely referring to Martin Armstrong. There is a lot of info posted there for free access: https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/blog/ https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/blog/

          He is forecasting a big upwards move in grain prices due to deteriorating (cooling) climate. This is all based on historical cycles of virtually everything economic related.

          You can also subscribe to his forecasting service which allows access to "Socrates" where one can evidently create forecasts for most anything.

            Correct. I went to the 2016 conference in Orlando sat with employees of Canada's biggest banks, was told to prepare for a possible doubling of interest rates overnight in Canada. Was told that Sunday afternoon and first thing Monday morning RBC and TD jacked prime on mortgages. Have had access since Jan of 17 and after about 4 months of trying to understand it the light bulb came on. It's legit. Now the kicker is the grain cos either have the same or possibly Renaissance s system, or a variation of their own. It's mind blowing the accuracy in locating turn points. Then you see how every market is connected. All I can say is there is a cycle to everything. Fundamentals mean nothing. It's very tradeable just on the numbers. But extremely easy to blow your brains out as well if you don't understand it. It takes me about 2 months after harvest just to get reconnected to it. Expect that to get shorter as I go with it.

                      He blames inheritance taxes for gmo and less seed diversity??
                      I like cyclical studies and dislike inheritance taxes but he jumped the shark there.
