Welcome Roborob. Looking forward to your insights. My intention is to build a board with a thousand eyes scanning the world for the best possibilities. On an ongoing basis I will be creating and re-creating top 10 and top 20 trend and investment lists, using ideas published here.
My thought is to trade opportunities appearing here and now, while at the same time, planning future investments. In my experience, the best opportunities begin to emerge from the fog of possibilities, set up over a period of weeks and months, and then launch from major cycle lows.
The weakness of most trading boards is a focus on the stocks running right now--often just after they have reached their peaks. The media have a similar blind spot, repeatedly celebrating trends that are already over.
The art of spotting trends just as they are beginning to hatch fascinates me--first because it is so seemingly difficult and second because I have seen it done so reliably so often.
I will never forget the day John Helms told my brother and I that Toyota was going to flood the U.S. with cars. We looked at each other and laughed because Toyota seemed like no threat at the time--the early 1970s.
In 2001, many people predicted the bull market in gold and precious metals, and in 2002 and 2003, Jim Rogers and many others correctly called the bull market in commodities.
My intention is to process the many competing trends and counter-trends to develop a cohesive picture of the current spirit of the times and to tie the identified trends to outstanding investment vehicles.
Once again, welcome, and stay tuned.
Mr. T
