Super Boom Why the Dow Jones Will Hit 38,820 and How You Can Profit From It

Prosper from the profitable opportunities of the next financial market super boom

In 1976, Yale Hirsch predicted a fifteen-year super boom--a move in the stock market of 500% or more. His forecast proved accurate as the market rose and continued upward, eventually posting growth over 1,000% just before the tech crash in 2000. In Super Boom, Jeffrey Hirsch, President of the Hirsch Organization and Editor in Chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac, unveils the next market expansion. Building on his father's research from 1976, Hirsch has discovered that meteoric rises in stock indices are due to specific catalysts predominantly outside of the financial markets.

History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the financial markets. The American economy, and subsequently the world economy, has always existed in a cycle of boom and bust: gold, grain, oil, technology, and most recently, real estate, have all bubbled and popped. The key to investing profitably is spotting macroeconomic historical trends and positioning to reap the benefits. Step-by-step, Hirsch puts together the pieces of this puzzle by revealing the central drivers of a super boom.
* Examines how new cultural paradigm-shifting technologies, as well as peace between major wars, could fuel a super boom
* Discusses how the massive injection of money by the government, in response to the global financial crisis and the Great Recession, as well as wartime spending, will eventually create an inflationary environment
* The data and research found here is based on historical information and the boom-and-bust cycle of the past century

As markets and economies struggle over the next several years, remember to keep your eye on the future and get ready for the coming super boom and the next 500% move in the market. With this book as your guide, you'll benefit from the insights that only Jeffrey Hirsch can provide.

Jeff will first discuss the boom and bust cycle of the past century and how that has led to the conditions under which such a radical proclamation can be made and made accurately.  That covered, Jeff will delve into other such bold predictions (right and wrong) such as Robert Prechter, Glassman & Hasset (Dow 36,000), and finally Yale Hirsch's prediction in the 1970s that there would be 500% move in the Dow.  Yale was correct and his prediction and reasoning are reprinted here with new careful analysis by Jeff and a string of parallels between that prediction and the current economic climate.  The book will then cover Jeff's Dow 38,820 prediction in more detail than ever before and discuss the best investment strategies to position for and profit from super boom.

As someone who views the investment glass half empty, I would normally treat a forecasted price target for the Dow Jones Industrial of 38,820 as hyperbolic and outlandish.  That is, unless the forecaster is Jeff Hirsch!  Jeff is bred in the purple and has royalty in his investment blood as his legendary dad, Yale Hirsch, was the dean of all technical analysts (and was the first of his kind to accurately predict the roaring Bull Market of 1974-1990). More importantly, Jeff's rationale for another super boom is well articulated in his own unique set of facts, figures and dissection of history.  To every serious investor I say, Read Super Boom or Perish!  Douglas A. Kass, President, Seabreeze Partners Management Inc.  Jeff Hirsch delivers a 500% effort in Super Boom. Unless you're closed minded or comatose there is a lot, lot more here than any investment reader can normally hope for. The visuals and data alone are worth many times the price. Ken Fisher, Founder and CEO, Fisher Investments, Forbes "Portfolio Strategy" Columnist, 5-time New York Times bestselling author Super Boom reminds the reader of the power of compounding. DJIA 38,820 by 2025 might sound like an outrageous level, but the implied sub-9% compound annual growth rate (following a decade of decline) makes the target appear more attainable. Within these pages, Jeff demonstrates that he has learned a lot from his father and has inherited the reputation as a renowned and respected market historian.  Sam Stovall, Chief Investment Strategist, Standard As a kid I taught Jeff how to catch big rainbow trout in Montana. In Super Boom, he's returned the favor by showing us how to catch a monster stock market move. A must-read book. Larry Williams, trader
