How do we know where we are in the current stock market cycle? How can we know if we are in the midst of a new long-term bull market or a market rally within an ongoing bear market? Forming an appropriate investment strategy depends on the answers to these questions. Balenthiran studied stock market data going back 100 years and observed a regular 17.6-year stock market cycle in increments of 2.2 years. He has extrapolated the cycle forward to provide investors with a market roadmap stretching out to 2053. In this book, he describes cycle projection in detail and outlines the changing character of the stock market through the different phases of the 17.6-year stock market cycle.
