Its Over, page-400

If you haven't noticed, ASX building sector stocks have been hammered off-late. In particular those with exposure to US building industry like CSR, Boral and James Hardie.

An insight I'd like to share with you is for you to look at when these stocks peak in the last cycle - go look at their charts from 2005.
They all peaked around early 2007 and from there on, its downward trend all the way to bottom out in early 2009- it indicates that these building sector stocks peak about a year or a bit more before the onset of a recession. Mapping that to what we see now in the behaviour of these building stocks, we should anticipate a global recession to hit in late 2019 - early 2020.

Having said that, we could either have a last hurrah from next month to early 2019 or in sideways downward bias trend for the remaining period from here to late 2019. My powder will be kept very dry from here. The risks now outweigh the potential gains in medium to long term investing but there obviously will be opportunity for short term trading in the meantime on handful of good stock picks for the savvy traders (which we are not all carved out to be). So periods of rise from here represent an opportunity to sell down ahead of the coming Big Kahuna probably a year from here.

The above are my own research, please DYOR to see for yourself the cyclical nature of stocks. The downturn has begun with these stocks leading the pack. Take care!
