Long ago I had read an article on economic cycles, which depicted a clock of 12 events as follows:
1. Rising Interest Rates
2. Falling Share Prices
3. Falling Commodity Prices
4. Falling Oversees Results
5. Tighter Finances
6. Falling Interest Rates
7. Increased Unemployment
8. Rising Share Prices
9. Rising Commodity Prices
10. Rising Oversees Reserves
11. Easier Finances
12. Share Market Peak
Can someone help me understand as to where exactly we are at the moment in this cycle? Does the record time low (forced) in 30 years interest rates have any impact on the apparent position of 11 (i.e. easier finances)and its validity? Also what is the duration of such cycles? Jan Somer's book 'Building Wealth thru Investment Properties' does mention this phenomenon but does not elaborate on it.
I have just woken up from a long sleep after investing in my first Investment Property 6 years ago, which was stagnant in growth for a long time, and now feel that I have missed the boat for buying another property unaware of the rising prices during last 12 months.
Is it still a good time? I am keen to understand how the variables in the clock relate to each other and am looking for some appropriate reading material.
Any help will be appreciated!!
Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh
