2017 is when things break down and 2018 is probably the start of WW III

2017 the Year from Political Hell

Posted on January 1, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Greetings Elections were always the same dates, why is it that we’ve only started discussing them in the last week?

Regards,

ANSWER: It is not just the USA this time, it is France & Germany plus the referendum vote on Britain leaving the EU. All of this will be a lot of uncertainly in Europe which will drive more capital into dollar on sheer anticipation.

It is not dramatic with USA alone. It is the correlation of all political trends hitting in 2017, In the USA, this is also when everything goes negative and that is the government’s own budget. So this time the public will start to hear more about the budget crisis we face.

This is also why the G20 will start to track all money movement. I reported how as an employer, I cannot even give an employee a gift of more than $25. You cannot buy diner for that or a bottle of champagne. These people have mismanaged government and we are always the problem – never them.

They will FIRST raise taxes and tax enforcement before they will ever reform. What they are doing to Greeks starting today having to report anything of value held outside of banks is the BALLOON. They get away with this and you are next for it will be extended in 2017 everywhere. Then there is the mad rush to move to electronic money to prevent people from hoarding cash outside of banks. This is why we have presented the SOLUTION that necessitates the end of public debt and the end of taxes for both are obsolete when there is no intention of ever repaying the debt.

One small business owner wrote to tell us that when they deposit any cash, they now must supply the bank with photo ID to deposit cash even as a small business owner dealing with the public IN THE UNITED STATES.

The sum of all our worst fears is coming. You will know it by its number – 2017.

This is a long post but its also very important as it gives a reasonable projection of the next 4 years which are very critical because of documented social cycles!

2016 – the BIG SHIFT

Posted on January 1, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

As we close 2015 and begin a new year, the markets generally closed flat to neutral with a warning that as we approach the political year from hell being 2017, this is by no means going to be a walk through the park. We are more likely than not going to see some trends conclude in 2016 and others perform a false move the scare the hell out of everyone. Nevertheless, the stars may not be aligning, but the markets appear to be setting the stage to align for the BIG SHIFT.

What does the BIG SHIFT mean? It means that as we face a meltdown in Socialism which has taken hold of Western Governments destroying our underlying democratic foundations, ALL assets must prepare for the HEDGE against government.

Relationships are NEVER constant, yet the TV analysis touts fixed concepts that people then believe. At first, many will buy or sell based upon such unfounded beliefs and assumptions. When we examine them in detail, they fall to the ground into dust.

Europe is operating under a dictatorship and has lost any possible right to exercise a democratic process to remove the three members of the Troika since not a single one stands for any election. Lagarde is of the IMF and is not even appointed the head of the IMF exclusively by Europeans. She was a personal friend of Obama. Draghi is ex-Goldman Sachs. Once a member of Goldman, you never leave. The EU Parliament has no validity since the Commission is not bound by their vote. The people of European nations have absolutely no means to reclaim their sovereignty by any method other than force. And to prevent that, the EU Commission wants to create its own army.

As we hurl through time and space toward 2017, we will come to realize that this is indeed the year from Political Hell. Not only will a new president take office in the USA, but we are looking at France, Germany, and Britain also going nuts.

The $40 level becomes important resistance now in oil. The Dow closing lower than 2014 is warning that there is a risk of a retest of the lows as was the case with the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ which made a new high at last but with little follow-through. This warns we may yet see a retest of support and the Sling-Shot Move remains possible. Silver closed bearish and gold only neutral.

It appears everything lining up for a very dramatic move between 2017 and 2020. So grab your socks, this one could be very crazy and wild to say the least.

How you lose money in the market

False Moves & the Force Behind Them

Re-Posted on December 31, 2015 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION : Mr. Armstrong,
I’ve heard you refer to “the false move”, and have witnessed it myself. I know there is no conspiracy to ruin my day nor deter me from trading. I was just curious, what causes this?

Thank you,
H

PS-Merry Christmas!

ANSWER: The real energy within a market is always to trap the majority for then they lose money and it forces them to cover their position. If 90% of the people are long, then any news can set off the collapse. If you scare the majority, there will be no bid when you try to sell, which results in a flash crash.

Likewise, the lows are made by excessive short positions. Again, something takes place and then the news sparks a short-cover panic. Likewise, because the majority are actually short, they are forced to cover and reverse the position which creates an abrupt swing to the upside.

Therefore, markets always make the false move for that is the sling-shot that propels the market in the opposite direction. This is simply the REQUIRED movement of markets to further an important directional change.

We may see that FALSE MOVE yet with a sling-shot on a very major scale. This is the BIG SHIFT that will set the stage for markets to align in order to prepare for what is looking to be the collapse of Western Governments & their Monetary System that is now way out of control. The closings today are an omen of what is to come.

Trey Gowdy Endorsement of Marco Rubio Highlights The GOPe “Amnesty Masks” in Congress…

Gowdy showed his true colors as a RINO when he didn’t take down Clinton in the Hearings. There was enough out there to do a much better job than what was done and the reason that it wasn’t is the GOPe wants Hillary to win. They know Jebb can’t beat Hillary and they, the GOPe, DO NOT WANT TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY! The reason is that if they did there would be no excuse to fixing things, with Hillary in things will be the same as they are now and that means they (the power elites) have destroyed the republic and achieved their objective of total power over the country!

Obama Executive Action on Guns 12/31/15 Obama to announce new executive action on guns

The Government is afraid of its citizens and so it must try to take the guns: the issue is will the citizens give them up knowing what is coming? Given the number of guns that there are its unlikely and could trigger a civil war which is exactly what Obama wants. The military could stop all this if they wanted to and it would be legal! I know what I would do if I had stayed in and made general, but them I’m old school and we are a dying breed.
