  The 18.6 Year Cycle Hasn’t Failed for 231 Years Stock markets… bond markets… real estate… all follow cycles. And I have been researching them for decades. For instance, did you know that every 18.6 years… since 1792… stock markets peaked, fell, and entered panics in consistent cycles? Take a look at the chart below. It tracks commodity cycles since 1792. (Click here to expand image) Or did you know that at the bottom of the cycle, new industries emerge, led by next-generation entrepreneurs?
