I’m going to guarantee something to you. It’s more of a handshake guarantee; something that you’ll just have to trust me on.

I’m going to tell you how you can 100%, for sure, make money. It’s totally legal and it’s extremely easy to do.

This is an easy concept to understand and it’s simple – which is usually one of the best indicators of a great investment, simplicity.

First, I want to show you the historical chart of the S&P 500, the DOW and the NASDAQ. (Hang with me here, I’m not going to talk about anything technical.)What do you notice?

I think anyone would say that, “Hmmm, it looks like that line has been going up for a while without it going down.”

I would agree, as you would probably too. There looks to be a pattern. The line usually goes up and then it goes down every now and then.

We don’t want to be a part of that line when it’s going down. Only when it’s going up.

Ok… obvious stuff here.

Let’s look at two more historical charts, one of the price of wheat and the other of natural gas.What seems strange about those lines?

Shouldn’t they be going up?

Yes!

Will it be next week? Next month? Next year? I have no idea. But, eventually, we can both agree that the price of wheat and natural gas will go up.

So… back to the part where I guarantee you something.

I guarantee that you will be successful if you have patience to buy when the line is low and sell when the line is high.

Again, obvious observations here… but almost no one follows this concept. That is why there are so few wealthy people compared to poor people.

We mostly get trapped into playing catch up with the crowd, trying to make a quick buck, instead of being patient and allowing common sense to play out.

“To buy when others are despondently selling and to sell when others are greedily buying requires the greatest fortitude and pays the greatest reward.” – John Templeton

MACRO TRENDS

Transportation Revolution

“Transportation technology will be the next Internet protocol,” according to an article in Tech Crunch.

And, I’d have to agree, when we finally are able to wrap our heads around driverless cars and their capabilities. Think about this:

“While there are 75 million servers running the global Internet, there are 1.2 billion cars driving global transportation, with 253 million in the United States alone (the highest per capita rate of any large country). Personal vehicle ownership is grossly inefficient: Cars are estimated to be parked 95 percent of the time. And even with all of the advancement in logistics software, there’s still plenty of unused cargo capacity being moved around on land, sea and air.”

Cannabis Amendment

According to a Washington Post article, “Chronic marijuana use is about as bad for your health as not flossing, researchers find.”

Who knew not flossing could be so dangerous…
