You may remember our famous chart that predicted the bottom for the bear market of 2007, 2008 and 2009 and then predicted the ensuing bull market to follow.
The methodology was simple. Compare a stock chart from the bear market of 1973 and 1974 with that of recent bear trends of 2008 and 2009.
The downward similarities were so striking that one would be led to believe that what happened next in the market in 1975 and 1976 would be a good prediction for what would happen in 2009 and 2010…
And what a prediction it has turned out to be. We published the chart three (3) days prior to bottom of the bear. We joked that we had no idea what would happen next and then showed the chart for the bull run of 1975 and 1976.
Since that chart was published, the graph has turned out to be the most visited page every day on The Good News Economist blog from that day back in March of 2009 until the present day!
So what did actually happen? Here you go… Look familiar?
Any guesses on what the 2011 chart might look like? (Hint: Take a peek at 1977)
