Martin Armstrong may be the most brilliant man you’ve never heard of.
He began his career as a currency trader but quickly realized that currencies fluctuate in cycles.
In the early 1980’s Martin followed his intuition, building an artificial intelligence that applied various cycles against each other to predict capital flows: the movements of money in an out of economic sectors driven by confidence.
Armstrong’s model is insanely predictive as it accurately called the 1987 stock market crash, 1990s currency crises and 2007-2008 housing collapse. His track record led to the US government bringing him in as a consultant several times in during the 80’s and 90’s (not that they listened to him).
And of course, your 401(k) is thankful if you rotated out of stocks prior to his Economic Confidence Model’s January 18th turning point.
And Now For Something Completely Different
The COVID Panic has the world in uncharted territory. For the first time in human history we have mandated a coordinated global slowdown of economic activity.
Whether you believe it is justified or not– I definitely am a skeptic–an extended slowdown poses severe and long lasting threats to the economy and the people who rely on it to survive. I’m not just talking money and jobs, though it is getting ugly on that front.
The real danger is if/when we come out of the quarantine we’ll find we can’t just flip a switch to restore the global supply chains that keep food, medicine and the other physical goods we need flowing around the world. If we stop a disease that infects all while killing a few only to cripple an economy which leads to widespread death and turmoil, then what did we gain?
