On August 19, 1986, I landed at JFK Airport and my father’s old classmate, James, picked me up. After a few days of being with him and his family, he dropped me off at college in Montclair, New Jersey.

Coming to the United States was a new beginning for me. Going to college was like immersing myself in a whole new world, where I had to discover something new every day. It forced me to figure out how things worked little by little.

And so many things that are so obvious today … they were so difficult to understand on my own back then. For example, I didn’t know how to dress for cold weather, and as a result, I was cold most of the time in winter.

What is happening in the stock market reminds me of that time, because today most people are completely mystified. Unless you have experience and knowledge of how markets work, you will make all the wrong decisions.

And you could end up missing something that could absolutely change your life in 2017 …

This critical thing is a bull market for stocks.

And I’m not just talking about a major new bull market in stocks that will push the Dow Jones Industrial Average to 50,000 … and then higher.

I think when this bull market ends, the Dow could easily be 100,000.

I know many of you think this sounds crazy. However, think of 1982, which was the beginning of the last big bull market in stocks. People were pessimistic about the future of our country.

An easy way to gauge negative mood for that time period is to look at one of the most popular magazines of the time: Weather.

The September 6, 1982 issue of Weather introduced the new bull market that was just beginning.

Within the subject there were doubts that are similar to those that people have today about the stock market:

Nobody predicted it. No one can explain it. No one dreamed that it could continue to function day after day after day. But last week Wall Street continued one of the most incredible stock trading binges in financial history … The frenzy has smashed records and then has beaten them again … Is this a fool’s rally or the beginning of a sustained bull market? ? Why has the momentum been so strong when the prospects for economic recovery are so uncertain?

Now when you go back to 1982, you will find two incredible similarities to 2017.

First, there was incredible technology: the personal computer was beginning to emerge as a huge economic force in our economy.

Second, he came of age of the baby boomers, the oldest of whom had just turned 34.

And today, we have the same two things happening.

First, we have this incredible technological development: The Internet of Things is beginning to revolutionize the way our world works on everything from our roads to cars, our health, and every part of our lives.

Second, we have the coming of age of the millennial generation, the largest generation in American history with 92 million people.

An amazing rally in the bull market

The Dow Jones Industrial Average skyrocketed from 770 in August 1982 to 11,750 in January 2000, a gain of 1,426%.

In other words, if you put $ 10,000 in the Dow index at the beginning of this bull market and just hold it, you would have $ 14.2 million at the end. Incredible, phenomenal and staggering profits simply by buying at the beginning of the bull market!

Now, I understand that many of you may be skeptical of what I just told you.

However, I have spent a decade researching bull and bear markets throughout history. And this combination of major technological change and a new generation coming of age is the closest thing to a sure thing in terms of a formula for predicting a major new bull market. And it’s one that I’m betting my credibility and reputation on.

You can also buy an exchange-traded fund (ETF), such as the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE: DIA), to profit from this important new bull market.

However, if you want to make life-changing profits that give you financial freedom, you need to find individual stocks with the potential to go up 300%, 500%, 1,000%, or even more. This is the central theme of a new service that my editor will launch early next year. Check back here if you are the type of investor who wants this type of profit.

These types of gains may seem unimaginable today, but remember that in the last big bull market we had incredible winners like Home Depot that went from $ 0.15 a share to $ 52, a gain of 34.567%. There will be jaw-dropping winners like Home Depot for years to come.
