Market cycles have been predicting history for over a century and Andrew Pancholi has spent 40 years learning to read them. In this conversation with Dwayne Kerrigan, Andrew breaks down the mathematical patterns behind the 2020 pandemic, the Israel-Iran conflict (called to within 30 hours), the current real estate top, and the geopolitical polarization that mirrors the 1930s almost exactly.
You'll learn why the 18.6-year real estate cycle is pointing to a cooldown and what to do about it, how the 100-year pandemic cycle works, why the 250-year empire cycle puts America at a critical inflection point, and how China has been quietly winning the global resource war while the West has been preoccupied in the Middle East. Andrew also shares his take on AI through the lens of cycles — and why every major boom has ended the same way.
