Asset-Trends (Identifying the Next Big Thing)

Today although gold is still an underperforming asset, more and more people are consuming the yellow lustrous metal like never before. It is still not greatly shown in the media, but prices are gradually climbing. You can call the climb of gold taking 3 steps forward and 2 steps back.


I believe Gold is in the Mid-phase 2 of an investment boom. There is still ample time to invest into this metal. However what is the next investment opportunity? What is the current asset class that is still in phase 1. What is under everyone's radar?







Lets recollect: Phases of an investment boom

Phase 1: Stealth phase; only those with time, analytical skills and great knowledge can identify it.

Phase 2: More identifiable, but only those with foresight and emotional stability will enter it.

Phase 3: The whole world knows; this phase is motivated by greed and those entering here thinks they know everything.



I seek to find what it is.


p/s: To those who have not participated in riding the gold wave, please do yourself a favor and start now. It will not last forever, the wave will build up higher and higher and participating in a wrong time (phase 3) is not only dangerous but it might even be disastrous. Do not chase yesterday's news.

ssshhh gold is past 1410 USD/oz :)
