Did People Forget To “Buy Everything” Today. Outrageous.

daily chart July 17 2014

A substantial down day with the Dow Jones down 161 points (-0.94%) and the Nasdaq down 62 points (-1.41%) 

The stock market continues to behave exactly as anticipated or as per our internal forecasts.

People often ask me how I am able to identify financial bubbles. Well, it is fairly easy. Outside of using my highly advanced mathematical and timing work, here is what you have to do. First, watch for insane valuation levels and a run away euphoric market. Just as we have today. Then, pay attention to what kind of nonsense the financial media is peddling. Case and point….

So, let me get this straight. The only responsible members at the FED are called “Party Poopers” and the best investment strategy going forward is to “Buy Everything”. Well, my friends, that’s how you know you are in a massive financial bubble that is about to implode. The only thing that confuses me is this. How can the majority be so stupid when this exact thing had occurred at 2000 and 2007 tops. I guess some people will never learn.

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2014-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.  If you would be interested in learning when the bear market of 2014-2017 will start (to the day) and its internal composition, please CLICK HERE

Why You Should Quit Your Job As Soon As Humanly Possible

business ideas

Continuation from yesterday……

Can You Be Fired At Any Time?

Can your bosses walk up to you and fire you at a moment’s notice and for whatever reason they see fit. Are you afraid of losing your job? If so, I am sorry to tell you, but you are a slave.

Are You Instructed On How To Behave & What To Wear?

Do you have to wear certain attire or a uniform to your job? Can’t even consider asking your co-worker out because “office romance” is strictly prohibited? Afraid to speak the truth about the management?  If so, I am sorry to tell you, but you are a slave.

Do You Have To Beg For A Salary Increase? 

Is it that time of the year where your knuckles sweat as you ask for a 3% raise in your salary, unsure if you will be simply be rejected or fired for having the audacity to even ask? If so, I am sorry to tell you, but you are a slave.

Unable To Quit, Pick Up & Move Somewhere Else?

Are you stuck where you are because you cannot let go of your by-weekly paychecks and relocate at a seconds notice? If so, I am sorry to tell you, but you are a slave.

The points above represent just some of the signs that your life might have a certain degree of slavery associated with it. Yet, it is not the worst part.

The worst part comes from the fact that your job is most likely killing you from the inside out.  It is slowly destroying your emotional and your creative side. Most people in this position become mindless robots going through the motion, day after day and without a second thought. Plus, there is always a substantial amount of anxiety, fear, greed, boredom, anger, jealousy, stress, depression, sadness and a host of other negative emotions associated with having a job that you hate.

Not always and not for everyone, but numerous studies have shown that a lot of people identify their occupations as the primary source of stress and anxiety.

In other words, your job is killing you.

On a positive note, I would be first to admit that there are great benefits associated with being fully employed.  A good salary, a stable paycheck, experience, health insurance, benefits and so forth.  Yet, the question that you have to ask yourself is this. Do all of these advantages outweigh your basic human need for having freedom and independence?

Imagine for a second not being responsible to anyone but yourself. Imagine not having to ask permission to do anything…. how to dress, what to say, how to behave, how much money to make, where to live, whom to associate with and so on.

Instead, imagine being able to do things on your own terms. To study, to educate, to be involved in a number of creative projects, to build things and/or companies, to make as much or as little money as your heart desires. To go after and to finally achieve all of your dreams.

Why You Should Have Bought Best Buy’s Stock Instead Of Windows 95

BBY

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS:

As mentioned above, by 1997 Best Buy had a decade of excellence under its belt. In both, the stock price appreciation and the growth of its retail business.  Between 1986 and 1997 the company’s stock price had already appreciated by 1,900% (a 19 Bagger). Yet, things were about to get a whole lot better for Best Buy and the company’s shareholders.

To establish a clear picture of what had happened between 1997 and 2006 must first study the fundamental growth of the company at the time.

Key Statistics 1997(December 31, 1997) 2006(December 31, 2006)
Price Per Share $4.05 $50.00
Market Cap $1.4 Billion $17.4 Billion
Earnings Per Share $0.27 $4.02
P/E Ratio 14.8 12.42
Price/Sales Ratio 0.17 0.48
Price/Book Ratio 2.5 2.8
Revenue $8.3 Billion $ 36 Billion
Net Income $94.5 Million $1.4 Billion
Annual Earnings Growth 26%(gross profit) 21%
Total Cash $520 Million $1.2 Billion
Total Debt $225 Million $590 Million
Book Value Per Share $1.60 $17.8
Shares Outstanding 348 Million (split adjusted) 348 Million
Total Assets $2 Billion $13.5 Billion
Shareholder Equity $558 Million $6.2 Billion

As we analyze the data above, one thing becomes evident. Best Buy’s fundamental growth during the time did NOT match the growth in the company’s share price. While the Best Buy’s stock price appreciated 4,000%, shareholder equity and book value grew by only 1000%, net income and earnings per share grew by 1,380% and the revenue base increased by only 333%. While an admirable performance, the numbers above do not justify the rise in the stock price from the fundamental perspective alone.

We must now go back and study the 1996-2007 period in greater detail in order to determine why the company was selling at such a discounted level and what fundamental changes would occur to propel the stock price higher.

In 1995 the company began enhancing its store format into the so called “Concept III”.  The concept featured a larger redesigned store format created to produce a more informative and exciting shopping experience for customers.  The standard size of the Concept III stores was increased to 45,000 square feet and it was intended to be as good as or better than the selections offered by Best Buy’s competitors in each of its principal product categories.   In other words, Best Buy was starting to focus more on hands on demonstrations, bigger stores and providing customers with the most desirable shopping experience possible.

The Reason Why NATO Will Lead The US Into A Devastating War

nato expansionContinuation from yesterday……That is the situation we are facing today. Yet, it is safe to assume that things will deteriorate even further over the next decade between the USA and Russia/China.

This type of an unrest is not coincidental. What most people don’t realize is that the conflicts above are being perpetuated by the 3 major superpowers.  The US, Russia and China. The EU is involved as well, but to a smaller extent. The countries above are jockeying for position in the fight for limited natural resources and in attempt to stem their ever increasing irrelevance.  For instance, the wars in Ukraine and Syria have nothing to do with “freedom and liberty” for Syrians or Ukrainians and have everything to do with a proxy war between Russia and the US. As both countries try to either maintain or exert their influence in the region.

We are also beginning to see the same type of a behavior from China.  China sees the South Pacific as their turf. Yet, with the US projecting their military might with the help of the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan, the Chinese government is beginning to act out. This situation is likely to deteriorate further over the next decade until one of two things happen. Either the US will leave the region or China and the US will get into some sort of a military conflict. Since the US will never abandon their allies in the region, we can already ascertain the most likely outcome.

Fundamental Reasons For The War: 

To further comprehend what will happen over the next 15-20 years we must first have a better understanding of the parties involved. Let’s begin by taking a look at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). 

NATO is a military alliance organization that consists of 28 countries. You can see the full list HERE.  It’s membership consists mostly of the EU countries and North America. Obviously, the US is the largest superpower, force multiplier and policy driver. More or less, the treaty works in the following way. If any of the NATO members are attacked, all other members must provide military support, assistance and equipment. Basically, if any of the member states are attacked, the entire NATO goes into war. NATO was originally created to counterbalance Soviet Russia after the World War 2.

As was mentioned earlier, over the last 20 years NATO has been on quite an expansion drive, pushing closer and closer to the Russian border.  For reasons that shall remain “officially” unknown. As the picture above illustrates, NATO has been able to penetrate a number of the former Soviet Union states and satellite countries and now finds itself right next to the Russian border.  While a number of fictitious reasons are typically given, to mask the expansion, the reality has to do with the nuclear shield that NATO and the US would like to build around Russia. Rendering Russian nuclear forces obsolete. Understandably, Russia is furious with NATO’s expansion.

How Stress Works

How Stress & Fear Works Behind the Scenes
Before we can transform fear and stress into positive energies, we must first understand how fear and stress work behind the scenes.  We must understand what drives them.

Continuation from yesterday…… Let me begin this chapter by saying that I have no medical or psychological qualifications whatsoever.  Outside of taking 2 years worth of pre-med courses in college, my knowledge on the subject matter from the “traditional education and application” point of view is very limited. Yet, despite my lack of experience in the field, the experience that I do have goes well beyond what they teach you in school.

A few years ago I was fortunate enough to make a quantum jump in human consciousness. Subsequently, after studying the human body, mind, feelings, emotions and other energies associated with the human form, for many years and at a higher level of consciousness, I was able to gain a deep understanding of how the “Human Form” works.  On all levels. It is through this understanding that I am able to guide you in transforming your stress and fear energies into a positive state of being.

Now, allow me to pause here for a second to issue an important warning, once again. At this stage you either believe me or you don’t.  How you feel is inconsequential to me, but here is what I want you to do.  If you do NOT believe in what you have read thus far, I want you to close this book and throw it in a garbage can. Please contact me at [email protected] with a proof of purchase and I would be delighted to send you the money back.

If you do not take issue with what I have said above, I truly believe that this book will transform your life. The only suggestion I would make is this. Do not dismiss the methods described in this book prior to trying them out. While some of them might seem unconventional, they truly work. With a little bit of effort and some patience on your part, your stress and fear will disappear, only to be replaced by happiness and bliss. Or whatever other positive avenue you would like to channel this energy towards.  No doctor can do that for you.

Finally, stress and fear come out of one unified energy field. Fear causes stress and stress causes fear. And while they might have different trigger points and manifestations, they come out of the same place. For our purposes and for the reminder of the book I will unify this feeling, emotion and physical reaction under the term “STRESS”.  Yet, keep in mind that we are also talking about fear when we are talking about stress and that all of the exercises that apply to transforming your stress energy also apply to transforming your fear energy.

Now that we are all done with the house cleaning, we must ask an incredibly important question.

What is STRESS?

Wikipedia defines stress as: Physiological or biological stress is an organism’s response to a stressor such as an environmental condition or a stimulus. Stress is a body’s method of reacting to a challenge. According to the stressful event, the body’s way to respond to stress is by sympathetic nervous system activation which results in the fight-or-flight response. In humans, stress typically describes a negative condition that can have an impact on a person’s mental and physical well-being.

Google’s Valuation Is Heading To Gazillion Dollars

daily chart July 16 2014

An up day with the Dow Jones up 77 points (+0.22%) and the Nasdaq up 9 points (+0.25%). 

The Dow opened up a 50 point gap in the morning as it continues to climb higher (exactly as per our internal forecast). That is in addition to a large 100 point gap from Monday. Suggesting an upcoming correction.

The amount of stupidity out there is truly mind numbing. Last week, it was the forecast that the Dow will hit 20,000 and even 30,000 by the end of the year. Yesterday, most financial commentators jumped on a perpetual bear bandwagon to declare that the market is about to crash. Today? Well, today, Google will apparently hit a $1 Trillion valuation within the next 10 years. With Facebook’s valuation not that far behind.  Any reasonable valuation metrics should not apply.

Google has the potential to hit a trillion-dollar market cap in the next 10 years, according to one technology investing leader.Jim Breyer, founder and CEO at Breyer Capital and a partner in Accel Partners, expects the search engine giant to join Facebook in gobbling up smaller companies and continuing to grow rapidly. The environment we’re in now is probably the most interesting seismic change relative to the new companies that will be Internet leaders.

You know what, just f$%* this. Most people will never learn. I am really looking forward to this market developing as per my internal forecast. It will be fun watching people scramble as the market gets decimated in a matter of a few short days/weeks. Trust me, there is nothing better than watching CNBC talking heads trying to explain a 1,000 point drop on the Dow as my profits skyrocket. If you would like to learn when, well, qualify for my premium service.

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2014-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.  If you would be interested in learning when the bear market of 2014-2017 will start (to the day) and its internal composition, please CLICK HERE

The Reasons Why You MUST Start Your Business Today

corporate slavery

The Shocking Secret Corporations Do Not Want You To Know.
 Why Your 9-5 Is Killing You and Why You Need To Quit Your Job In Order To Save Your Life…….Like Yesterday.

Continuation from yesterday……I still remember my first corporate job. I was hired as a CFO assistant in a midsized company.  I was so excited. The pay was not that great, but I was working directly for the CFO of the company and doing stuff that the rest of the kids in my graduating class could only dream of.  I couldn’t wait to apply all of the skills that I have learned in the business school.

Unfortunately, I was young, naive and stupid. At that time I truly believed that I could change the company for the better. I believed that they would listen to my ideas and make suggested adjustments for the betterment of the company and its bottom line. I believed that by showing initiative, showing up early, leaving late and by making the CFO of the company look good I would eventually be rewarded with a higher salary or other perks.

It took about a year for the reality to set it. They didn’t care about any of the things above. All they wanted me to do was to follow corporate rules and regulations, mind my own business and do what I was paid to do. That was until the CFO of the company threw me under a bus for her shortcomings and I was promptly fired a year and a half into my job.  Looking back, I certainly deserved to be fired, if for no other reason than being too gullible and too committed for my own good.  I didn’t know the secret.

What secret?  Well, there is no easy way to swallow the bitter pill, so I am just going to come out and say it.

If you work for someone else and get a regular paycheck, you are a slave.

I know that many people will baulk at such a statement. After all, no one is beating you with a stick nor are there any shackles around your wrists. Yet, the shackles come in many different shapes and forms, even in the form of a Gold Rolex. Let’s take a closer look at some hard to ignore points to prove my assertion.

Do You Have To Ask For Permission?

Do you constantly seek supervisor permission to do anything? Things like going to visit your sick child in the hospital during business hours, taking an early lunch or even using a restroom. If so, I am sorry to tell you, but you are a slave.

Do You Have To Follow Rules & Regulations?

Is there a 100 page employee manual on your desk spelling out every little detail of what you can and cannot do? If so, I am sorry to tell you, but you are a slave.

Why The World War 3 Is Coming

war board games

Continuation from yesterday…… 

Why Will the War Start? All wars repeat in cycles. In the preceding chapter I have identified a clear 84 year cycle associated with all of the major American (USA) wars. With the Nuclear World War 3 being just 15 years away, I believe it is important to understand what fundamental factors will set things in motion.  Understanding such benchmarks will help us keep close tabs on exactly when the war will start.  And while some people might assume that this gives us enough time to prevent the war from happening, unfortunately, real life doesn’t work that way. Based on my stock market work, the future is predetermined and cannot be altered by “spiritually unconscious” population. Simply put, the war is coming and cannot be stopped.

Further, as I write this in July of 2014, it appears that that most of world’s geopolitical and macroeconomic factors are already lining up to usher in the war.  Let’s take a quick look at what is happening in the world today …..

  • Israel is fighting another war in Gaza.
  • Civil wars in Syria and Ukraine.
  • Iraq is about to fall in the hands of a terrorist organization ISIS. Afghanistan will follow the same scenario in a few years time.  Both countries will face catastrophic civil wars.
  • NATO is pushing closer and closer to the Russian border. Russia blames the US and the EU for being directly responsible for financing the unrest in Ukraine.  In order to expand NATO even closer to Russia.
  • The US is readying the next round of unilateral sanctions against Russia.
  • Russia responds by getting further involved in Iraq, Syria and Ukraine.
  • Russia reopens its spy base in Cuba to spy on the US.
  • Cold War 2 between Russia and the US is accelerating.
  • China is trying to establish its dominance in the South Pacific region by bullying the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan and Taiwan.
  • China has already told the US, in no uncertain terms, to get out of the South Pacific region.
  • China and Russia are already aligning their interest through their military cooperation and the biggest oil/gas deal that was signed between the countries in the mid 2014.
  • Massive speculative stock market bubbles throughout the world and an upcoming financial crisis.

And that’s just the beginning as things will continue to deteriorate on all fronts.

To Be Continued Tomorrow…….
