This analysis is insanely accurate! Published in 1875 by Samuel Benner, it identifies years of panic, as well as periods when to make money 

The 150-year-old Benner Cycle has predicted almost all major crises since the mid-1920s. It accurately foresaw the Great Depression, WW2, the Dot Com bubble, and the recent COVID crash.

The Benner Cycle quite accurately predicted how the markets will perform in 2023 as well. We haven't seen a dramatic crash but:

- Major stock indices like the S&P 500 did experience a decline in 2023 ending the year around 5% lower than its 2022 peak.

- The global economy faced tough challenges with factors like inflation, rising interest rates, and the ongoing wars around the world contributing to economic uncertainty. 

Looking ahead, the Benner Cycle suggests that 2024 might be a year of gradual recovery, entering the "Prosperity Phase". This zone indicates a period of rising prices and economic expansion and a good time to buy assets.

Fascinating 150-year-old math and logic.
