  1. 0:00In 1875, an Ohio farmer published a
  2. 0:02[music] chart predicting market cycles
  3. 0:03until 2059. He had just lost everything
  4. 0:06in the panic of 1873. Instead of
  5. 0:08quitting, Samuel Benner studied
  6. 0:10historical price patterns and found
  7. 0:11something strange. Markets moved in
  8. 0:13cycles, not random chaos, rhythms. He
  9. 0:16mapped three repeating waves. 16 to 18
  10. 0:19to 20 years, panic years. 8 to 9 to 10
  11. 0:22years peak years. 7 to 9 to 11 years,
  12. 0:24hard [music] times, bottoms. And here's
  13. 0:26the part that shocked investors decades
  14. 0:28later. His chart flagged 1927 as a panic
  15. 0:31signal. The crash came in 1929, 1999 as
  16. 0:34a time to sell. Burst in 2000, 2007 as
  17. 0:38another sell zone. Financial crisis hit
  18. 0:40in 2008. It wasn't perfect. Sometimes
  19. 0:42off by a year or two, sometimes it
  20. 0:44missed entirely, but the pattern is what
  21. 0:46matters. [music] Benner's core insight.
  22. 0:48Markets don't move randomly. They move
  23. 0:50emotionally. Fear, greed, euphoria,
  24. 0:53panic. Cycles of human psychology.
  25. 0:55According to the banner cycle, 2023 was
  26. 0:58a hard times buy zone. 2026 is marked as
  27. 1:00a peak. 2032 hard bottom. 2035 next
  28. 1:04panic year. Is it prophecy? No, but it's
  29. 1:06a reminder. History doesn't repeat. It
  30. 1:08rhymes. Comment [music] cycle if you
  31. 1:10want the full schematic breakdown.
