The year is almost up and it’s getting into peak holiday season. I hope everyone is able to enjoy time with friends and family. I don’t want to make this too long but I want to sincerely thank all of you that follow my work. This message is a little more personal because we have a lot of new subscribers and I want to remind everyone why we are in this.
I have personally been through the wringer of what markets can do to a person. I have made it to the top of the mountain and I have lost literally everything and I have done it several times over. It’s a gut wrenching feeling and one that has shaken me to do anything I can to avoid it ever happening again. I have seen first hand the fortunes that can be made and lost in speculating and it became my mission to find out why this happened to me and how I could capture the upside while avoiding the inevitable downside in the future.
Since I was in my late teens I have been studying markets and I was fascinated by the windfall gains great speculators could generate. After trying many different methods and philosophies I began to resonate most with technical analysis and market cycle timing. Through the work of my mentor, a great analyst and former head trader of a $65 billion dollar pension fund, I was shown that it IS possible to time the market. It’s not easy but with the right knowledge and skillset it can be done and it’s worth a fortune if you can understand this.
I love taking risk. Who doesn’t? The problem was that I didn’t understand when to take risk and when to back off. But, when you can begin to understand time and its relationship to price you know there is a right time for both. I knew I had to figure out those times. Following my mentor and the methods he used I was led to discover the work of a man named W.D. Gann.
Gann lived in the early 1900s and is still one of the most successful traders of all time. His methods are unique and disregarded by most but he was able to make a fortune off of what he discovered. I won’t say too much about Gann because it’s a life long journey to understand what he knew about markets. The important thing Gann revealed is that time is more important than price. If we can learn to understand time and its connection to prices, we can anticipate with a certain degree of accuracy what is likely to happen next in the markets.
I’m not saying I know it all, in fact I’m far from it. I’m just saying I have lived it, I have been studying these techniques for over a decade, and I am determined to get better and learn from my mistakes. Investing is a constant battle against yourself and your highest emotions. No one is ever right going to be right all the time. I’m here to share with you what I’ve learned and what I continue to learn. In doing so I hope to save you a lot of time, money, and most importantly heartache.
So, with my knowledge of cycles and in particular the crypto cycle. I created this research to to help people avoid the pitfalls that I have made while also learning how to think about the market for themselves. I hope you can learn from me and I hope to guide you successfully through such a volatile and misunderstood asset class.
Looking back at our year in 2023 I think we did a decent job. At the beginning of the year I was admittedly bearish and thats fine by me to admit. The market was going against me and instead of doubling down on why the world was going to collapse I wanted to figure out what I was missing. I started reading books looking for new material that would help me understand all this.
I did learn and I did have a breakthrough in my research. By March I was able to see through the noise of the banking crisis and call the March 10 bottom to the hour on Bitcoin. You can find that report here.
The summer months were choppy and hard to read on short term but we remained bullish on all markets. Then again in October I put out an email to subscribers within 10 minutes of the bottom on Bitcoin at 26.3k. From there we have seen the biggest rally of the year.
Additionally, our portfolio watchlists have been outperforming the entire market by a wide margin.
Although not perfect, I believe you would be very hard pressed to find an analyst that has called this market better than our research has this year.
As the bull market continues to get its legs under it you should be positioned very well if you are reading this. However, that also means our workload and operations are going to have to expand as well if we are to stay ahead of things.
That being said, our current prices are a steal for the information you are getting and I wanted to remind you that our next price increase is coming up December 28th. A year subscription will be $280 and a monthly subscription will be $35. I wanted to give you notice well in advance because you can still subscribe before December 28 and lock in the $125 price for the entire next year.
We aim to deliver you the best information of anyone on the market. We work day and night Sunday to Sunday to keep up with whats going on. I started this out small and I intend to grow it every year. I genuinely thank you all for the support and I do not take it lightly that you are trusting me as your guide in this market. Let’s continue to learn and I’m confident 2024-2025 will be a banner year for us.
Great read btw.
I am 50 years young now and learned a few things along the way. One is : always buy when everyone is fearful, not just crypto but I mean everything at bottom prices. I've lived through a few crisis and it's always the same old story. Armageddon is upon is, we are doomed and it's all going to zero, forever. Well that's total b.s.
The rich thereflr get richer, they buy buy buy on this fear because they know things always turn around and than they sell at a premium. It's smart but 'nobody' does it.
been in crypto since 2017 and have been where you have. Everyone thought I was nuts for wanting to sell my btc at 55000$. So I didn't. We were a group of investors always bickering what to do next. So now I am very careful who I follow and don't tell anyone I do crypto (it's not respected at all, with mainstream) There a few good people like yourself who's opioned I carefully listen to.
I wish you all the best for our bright future ahead Let's do this right this time around!
So that means the price for all members change or only the one for new member? I had a price increase in another Substack but there only the price for the new members went up while the old members are still paying the old price
