Periods when to make money

When the markets collapse

This analysis is wildly accurate! Published in 1875 by Samuel Benner, it identifies years of panic, as well as periods when to make money 😳

A 19th-century Ohio farmer created one of investing's most enduring mysteries.

After losing everything in the 1873 market panic, Samuel Benner studied historical patterns and published a remarkable forecast in 1875 that claimed to predict market cycles decades into the future.

His "Periods When to Make Money" chart maps out years of panic, prosperity, and depression all the way to 2059.

The crazy part?

The Benner Cycle identified major turning points around the 1929 crash, the 2000 dot-com bubble, and the 2008 financial crisis 🤯

Analysis shows Benner's "favorable years" delivered average returns of 17.5% compared to just 4.8% in his "unfavorable years."

But what makes Benner's work fascinating isn't perfect accuracy - it's how it captures the rhythmic psychology of markets.

His cycle identified that markets don't move randomly. They dance to cycles of human emotion: fear, greed, euphoria, and panic.

Modern research confirms that market sentiment follows these patterns, though not on the precise schedule Benner mapped.

Looking ahead, the Benner Cycle suggests we're now entering a favorable period from 2024-2026. Then comes the warning: 2027-2032 are forecasted as "unfavorable years."

Fascinating 150-year-old math and logic.
