I was just in Japan, Italy, Turkey, Russia, India and multiple trouble spots around the world.
Everywhere, I met with investors of all stripes.
Everywhere, I saw signs of imminent financial turmoil, political upheaval, or both.
And for everyone, it was obvious that the investment implications are enormous.
Immediately after I returned, I huddled with Edelson Institute cycles expert Sean Brodrick. His findings, based on the upcoming convergence of four economic cycles with the cycle of war, matched mine to a tee.
But you don’t have to be an expert to see the urgency of what’s happening. Just turn on your TV or go to Google News. The pattern — of spreading economic instability, political turmoil and violence — bursts immediately into clear view.
Just within the last 27 days, North Korea has tested its first hydrogen bomb … launched two long-range ICBMs over Japan … promised to “sink Japan” into the ocean … vowed to turn America to “ashes and darkness” … and, just this past Friday, threatened to explode another hydrogen bomb — this time in Pacific Ocean.
This shock-and-awe chest-pounding may sometimes overshadow other shocking events in other countries. But those are no less important …
Japan’s government is about to pile up huge amounts of new debt for a surge in defense spending. Snap elections, expected next month, could sink its bond market.
In the UK, domestic terror attacks are accelerating even as Theresa May stumbles in every effort to navigate Brexit without sabotaging the economy.

Turkey, a critical NATO ally, is on the verge of civil war. Within days, neighboring Kurdistan will hold an independence referendum, fomenting rebellion by minority Kurds on the Turkish side of the border. President ErdoÄŸan, now a self-declared dictator, is sending in tanks.
The Philippines, supposedly a major U.S. ally, has suddenly shifted its allegiance to China. President Rodrigo Duterte, also assuming dictatorial powers, could be on the verge of declaring martial law. Thousands are flooding the streets in the largest protests since Duterte took office. They are calling for his demise, setting fire to his image and confronting hundreds of riot police.
Iran, in an act of defiance against the United States, has just announced that it will move swiftly to boost its missile capabilities. India has just named Pakistan “Terroristan.” Russia has just threatened to target U.S.-backed fighters in Syria.
But don’t get lost in the trees. Instead, rise above the fray and consider these eight surprising facts about the financial storm we see dead-ahead:
Fact #1. The economic cycles we study — and that we base our major forecasts on — accurately predicted the Great Depression in 1929 and every major economic event since.
These are the very same cycles that enabled us to predict, well ahead of time, the beginning of gold’s greatest bull market in 1999 as well as the exact top for the yellow metal (within two weeks) in 2011.
Over the years, these cycles also enabled us to predict the great stock market crash of 1987 … the Tech Wreck of 2000 … the credit crisis and Great Recession of 2008-’09 … and the explosive recovery in stocks that we’ve seen since.
Fact #2. These powerful cycles are now forming a pattern we have rarely seen take shape in our lifetimes. On October 31st of this year — just 36 days from today — they will converge, forming a great Supercycle. (Click here to read our latest report, just posted to our website.)
That date will mark the end of the current era … in which governments could amass obscene amounts of debt with impunity … and the beginning a new era. One where mankind pays the price for those debts.
Fact #3. In this new phase, many bond investors, who have loaned governments the money they need to pay their bills, will phase out their bond purchases and actually begin selling government bonds.
As a result, these governments will simply run out of money.
Ultimately, social programs and entitlements payments will be delayed and, in many cases, curtailed. Many who rely on pensions, government healthcare, food aid and other kinds of state-supplied payments will be left twisting in the wind.
Fact #4. As this plague of defaults sweeps across Japan to Europe and later to the United States, it will crush governments, currencies and investment markets worldwide. Social unrest, civil war and international wars, already on the rise, will spread.
The years 2017 through 2022 will be a nightmare of historical proportions for most. The human toll will be devastating. Millions of investors worldwide will be wiped out, left penniless, vulnerable and alone. In the worst trouble spots, cities will burn.
Fact #5. A tsunami of flight capital will flow from the world’s hot spots to the world’s safest safe havens, especially the United States. This fear money will drive up American stocks and real estate even as other assets around the world fall. Ultimately, however, the crisis will also strike the U.S.
Fact #6. The realities on the ground validate this warning in spades: Japan’s government is in debt to the tune of 1.1 quadrillion yen. A staggering 22 of the 28 nations in the EU are racing toward their own debt collapses. And the U.S. government is on the hook for at least $200 trillion in debt and obligations it can’t pay.
Fact #7. Once you understand the true nature of this crisis, protecting yourself is not difficult. Once you see how other debt collapses have unfolded, you can also harness its amazing power to multiply your wealth.
In fact, some of the investments we will be recommending in Phase I of this crisis (now, through Oct. 31) are already posting gains of up to 2,105% in as few as 40 days.
This is why I have created Supercycle Investor, a unique new service with an investment portfolio that’s completely unlike any other we publish, or anyone else publishes. As a member, you get all of our “buy” and “sell” recommendations for supercycle investments — not just now, but through Dec. 31, 2022.
Fact #8. I am personally so concerned about this crisis, I am willing to pay for most of your membership myself. Just join for two years, and I’ll pay for the balance of your membership through the end of the year 2022.
You take virtually zero membership risk when you join now. You can cancel anytime during your first two years on-board and receive a full refund on the balance of your membership.
But our Charter Enrollment period, saving you an astounding 83%, closes forever on Tuesday, Sept. 26. That’s tomorrow. (Click here to join.)

Possibly the market to get into is inverse etfs and low risk securities issued by the us government in the form of t-bills or treasury bills. We are definitely in for a boom, a boom possibly even bigger than the last boom 10 years ago. Time flies when you are having fun. Reading a book on corporate finance by Fred r kaen at the moment. Its very informative. Inverse etfs are apparently the next big thing. Look out for ordinary annuities and perpetutitys too. The economy is gonna be a rollercoaster ride the next 5 years. We are in a boom, recession, depression, recovery and growth cycle. How big a boom is anyone’s guess.
TRUTH DETECTOR
North Korea Does NOT even have a functional Hydrogen Bomb. ( To begin with, It takes a nuclear bomb to detonate a Hydrogen Bomb). The first Hydrogen Bomb was successfully detonated in 1947 during a test conducted by the United States. North Korea does not have a Nuclear Bomb any more powerful than the one we detonated over Hiroshima, Japan in 1945. Its all Fake Intelligence designed to scare people and cause a panic. So, who stands to gain the most when the Japanese panic this time?
In addition, North Korean missiles are poorly engineered and lack modern guidance technology, as they burn-up in the stratosphere upon reentry and never get close to their target. The warheads, which are CONVENTIONAL, also burn-up during reentry into the atmosphere. They can’t deliver and the North Korean threat is greatly exaggerated to create a story, and not even a good one either.
Prayer and fasting can stop war and suspend the laws of nature.
dear martin, i posted a letter on here a while ago…did it make it past the editor?.
