The Benner Cycle has accurately predicted 100+ years of markets - good, bad and ugly.

But how was a farmer from the 1800s able to predict the Great Depression, Crash of '08, and even a global pandemic?

Let's take a look: Image
The Benner Cycle splits itself between three periods:

A. Years where panics have occurred.
B. Years of Good Times, High Prices.
C. Years of Hard Times, Low Prices.

Benner has been on the money for more than a century. Are they just coincidences?

Let's look at a few examples.
2007:

According to the Benner Cycle, 2007 fell under B (AKA time to sell stocks and values of all kinds).

Anyone that sold a majority of their shares during 07, would have completely avoided the crash of 08. Image
2019:

The first cases of COVID-19 were identified in Wuhan in December of 2019.

I think most of us would agree that what followed was the definition of panic, on a global scale.

Maybe these are just coincidences, but I still find the timing quite eery.

Let's look deeper. 👇 Image
Berner was a farmer who understood:

Seasonal cycles affect crops -> Which affect supply/demand -> Which affect price.

He found an 11-year corn and pig cycle that spiked every 5-6 years, which matched up with the 11 year solar cycle.

TL;DR: This cycle is tied to market prices. Image
If we take a look at the cycle now, you'll see 2023 under "Hard Times".

We're in a bear market, debt is through the roof and US banks are barely holding on.

I'd say "hard times" is pretty damn accurate.

But the focus of the cycle isn't on the negative... rather, accumulation. Image
According to 'C', it's a good time to buy stocks and goods.

"Hold till the "boom" reaches years of good times (2026), then unload."

A wise man said "the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets."

NFA, but that's what I'm doing. Time will tell if Benner is right again. Image

The "secret" key to success is strange; just not for the reason(s) you think.

If you're a young adult feeling completely lost in life with no direction... read this.

(I wish somebody told me sooner)
I don't know everything.

But I do know that we live in a digital golden age of information.

We have more data readily available at our fingertips than former presidents, kings and dictators had in their entire lifetime.

Information is opportunity.

This truth is inescapable.
Now, let's take 100 young adults and start them even at the age of 25.

They are all passionate and eager to be successful.

By the time they turn 65:

1 will be rich.
4 will be independent.
5 will be living paycheck to paycheck.
The rest will be broke.

...What happened?

My honest thoughts on the space.

Future and present. Image
A year ago I wrote a thread on the future of NFTs. Read it if you want.

People looked at me crazy back when I told them how Insta, Meta, Twitter, Amazon etc. would all inevitably embrace the digital world.

I felt less crazy when it started happening.
One thing I've learned to be true...

Nothing in life is permanent except for change.

It's the only constant. Regardless of how we feel about it, change will always happen.

Some of the most brilliant concepts ever invented were feared initially.

A year and a half ago, I was broke.

Any purpose I had faded into the dull void of my passionless 9-5.

Days bled into weeks.
Eventually, it was all the same.

It wasn't a bad life. At least I had a job.

But damn; I was bored.
I tried many things to cure the boredom.

From mindless video games, to buying dumb shit, to sleeping way too much.

One day I found a book called 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' in a move box I hadn't unpacked.

I didn't remember buying it.

Wherever it came from, I'm glad I found it.
I couldn't tell you the last time I read a book. But I finished it so fast that I shocked myself.

No one ever taught me anything about money... Schools, friends, parents. Nothing.

The book shifted my world view and led me down a mysterious rabbit hole. Image
