A Sea-Change in the Markets

[] (don't be caught unprepared) [View in browser]( [View in browser]( [] From the Desk of Don Yocham: [] From the Desk of Don Yocham: [] "Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose. — Bill Gates "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice" — Rush “Freewill” For the past several months, I’ve been warning that we’re entering a completely new market environment. A kind of economic rollercoaster that most traders don’t remember — and quite possibly have never even lived through. See, the markets of the last 13 years — since February 2009 — have been more or less a straight short upward. Even the unprecedented situation of a global pandemic and its accompanying near-worldwide economic shutdown barely caused a speed bump in the grand scheme of things. The Bill Gates quote above is particularly important at a time like this, because for the past 10 years — and in a larger sense, the past 40 years — investors could seemingly do no wrong. The “ever upward” trajectory of the market has hidden a lot of sins. And allowed a lot of formerly strong traders to get flabby. But an “ever upward” trajectory is not the natural state of the markets. There have been decades-long periods of flat or downward market trajectories before. And if you see the same red flags lining up that I do, you’re aware that “buy and hold” or the “passive investing” trend can no longer sustain the kind of growth that investors have come to expect. So consider the market conditions of the past 6 months a warning sign. It’s not a passing phase. It’s not a temporary disruption. It’s a complete sea change in the markets — and those investors still acting like it’s 2018, have managed to see their accounts decimated in just the past few months. But it’s not all bad news. As the Jon Kabat-Zinn quote goes, “You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” And for the past few months, I’ve been surfing the waves quite successfully. I’ve been sharing my trades live, with my Prosperity Pub Telegram channel and those folks that have taken action on my trade alerts are raving about the results. So now I’ve put together [this short video]( to show you what we’ve been doing. I demonstrate the red flags I see piling up… and show you just how my system has allowed me to surf, while so many other traders have found themselves shipwrecked. For many traders, the easiest thing is to put their head in the sand in the hopes that the storm will pass them by. But time — and the markets — don’t stop. And as the Rush lyric at the beginning of this article tells us, those that stay the course — or cash out and sit on the sidelines — and hope the waves will harmlessly pass over them, have still made a choice. I hope you’ll choose to join me. But even if you don’t, you should be aware of the coming tidal wave. [Click to watch the video.]( Then drop by the [Telegram channel]( and tell me what you think.
