WHAT IF we are Reliving the Investment Cycle of the 70's?
A Near Zero-return Decade!

From 1966 - 1982 the economy grew while the Dow went nowhere for 16 years!

$1,000 invested in the Dow Jones Index* in 1966 would have yielded, by 1982, a 16-year return of zero.

Low returns in a double-digit inflation environment exacerbated by high government, wartime spending resulted in substantial loss of wealth for many.

*The Dow Jones Index is an unmanaged index of common stocks.
 
The Energy Crunch:  Some say global oil production is peaking yet demand is accelerating.  New sources or alternatives may be found, but how soon? at what price?

• The Paper vs Stuff Cycle: It is the thesis that stock prices and raw materials prices alternate in opposed bull and bear cycles of roughly 15 - 20 years.  If so, as of 2006, we could be 5 - 7 years into a long term bull cycle for commodities and a simultaneous bear cycle for stocks.
