Why The Market Top Is In And What You Should Do Next

Long Term Dow Structure35

 

In my earlier blog posts I have mentioned that we had a cluster of very important turning points showing up around December 31st, 2013 and January 1st of 2014 (based on my cycle work). Indicating a significant turning point. 

Yet, my mathematical work at the time didn’t confirm. That is until Tuesday of this week. You can blame a simple brain fart or a lack of sleep on my part.  

I have shown the chart above before. To prove to you that the stock market is not random, but quite the opposite, it is exact. Showing you that there was only a 22 point variance over a 16 year period of time. Further, when we take the values on the chart above and do a few simple calculations we get a value of 12,935.

So what? 

Based on my calculations, the move between March 2009 bottom to December 31st, 2013 top on the DOW was exactly 12,836. That is an exact hit with 0.7% variance. With cycle work and mathematical confirmations coming together, I have no choice but to call for a market TOP.  

(***What calculation? Please get my book titled Timed Value coming out this Monday for further explanation. It would take too long to explain here). 

Now, even though the market top is in, we have to wait for a technical confirmation before taking our short position. Based on my previous experience that is a prudent thing to do. 

What should you do next?

Option #1: If you are in stocks, start getting out and going into cash. Earning 2-5% annually is heck of a lot better than losing 30-40% over the next 3 years (the length of upcoming bear market). Plus, you will have money when the bottom comes to buy some wonderful companies at give away prices. 

Option #2: Profit on the short side. At the same, this will be a very difficult thing to do. The upcoming bear market is unlikely to be directional. My work shows that it will closely resemble the 2000-2003 bear market with a lot of ups and downs. As such, it will be difficult to make money on the short side.

The best advice I can give you is this. Protect and accumulate cash. Once we hit bottom in 2017, the market will start its 18 year bull market.
