Recent & upcoming turning points of the Economic Confidence Model

 Due to the high demand and the interest surrounding recent and upcoming important  turning points, we are offering more webinars on the Economic Confidence Model (ECM) and the global business cycle. 

While doing research on the fluctuation of prices, Martin Armstrong came upon a list of international economic panics. Just for fun, he decided to see if there was some merit to cycle theory and - while researching - he discovered the Cycle of Economic Confidence. 

This seminar will explain the origins, characteristics, and turning points of the Economic Confidence Model. We would like to help users better understand the model. The webinar will be led by Erwin Pletsch, who has over 30 years experience following Martin Armstrong's research and using the ECM model. This session is suited for all people interested in the cyclical nature of the global economy. While it is certainly beneficial if you have studied the ECM before, it is not required. There will be enough time to answer your questions as well!

This seminar will cover: 

- Compilation of Martin Armstrong's writings over the last 45 years (including hard-to-find writings and many which are not publicly available anywhere else)

- Summary background of how Martin Armstrong discovered the ECM

- Calculation of ECM, converting decimal numbers to dates

- Examples of when individual markets have correlated with the ECM in the past

- Charts showing a history of major ECM Turning Points for many countries/ markets

- discussion of most recent and upcoming turning points
