Short Term Sector Trading Cycles
1. Technology Surges from November - April. -- XMAS Optimism. People shift thinking optimistically from end of the year thinking to in a year from now thinking.
2. KO and PEP Surge from May - August -- Summer consumptions peak in the summer months. Picknics and summer activities spur a summer seasonal boom.
Both of these are guidelines and change from year to year. So look to buy low getting in and selling high getting out.

Long Term Market Equity - MacroThemes
1. How will the 46'-64' born baby boomers effect cash flows into and out of the market. Given the Dot Bomb and Housing Bubbles which help to define horrible stock market decade, more than likely there will be a movement towards perceived quality like bonds and out of riskier assets like stocks. Therefore, lower P/Es should be expected in the coming years for Stock Market investors. The Baby Boomers will be retiring at age 67 in 2013-2031. Hospital stocks and pharma stock should do well during the retirement.
2. The Information Age will become more and more pronounced by those defining what the information age is becoming. Stock exemplifying these would be IBM, MSFT, AAPL, GOOG, FB, and CRM. Salesforce.com and cloud computing seem to be where things will be headed in the next couple of years. Then likely there will be another correction in directions.
3. Emerging Markets - Additionally, all this free information available over the internet will allow emerging markets to compete without so much of an educational deficits. Look to EEM and emerging market stocks to continue to accelerate progress and prosperity. The China Age - China becomes worlds largest economy in 2032 -City Weekly January 6 2011. This theme has weakened significantly with the Chinese focus towards services and technology.
4. The Energy Age? Not defined yet, but the need will be originating from a peak in fossil fuel production coupled by increased demand originating from the largest part of the Globe. The 3rd World continues to industrialize at an accelerated pace. Small start-ups in Algae, Wind, Gas, and Fracking will be in demand as oil prices keep rising.
5. Resource Scarcity - Human activity will continue to pressure resources especially food, oil, and gold.
6. US Debtor Nation Status - Interest on the national debt should be pushing $1Trillion per year in 2020. City Weekly January 6 2011
7. Obesity kills more Americans than smoking City Weekly January 6 2011. Healthy and honest food options will become more and more in demand as the younger generations expand purchasing power.
8. Nature Deficit Disorder - Kids start getting disconnected from the natural environment at an accelerated rate. City Weekly January 6 2011
9. Emerging Markets - Rise in Food Costs driven by desire for higher protein diets. - DE, POT, ASCO re: Cramer 4-18-11
10. Emerging Markets - Power Management - Electicity will continue to follow the movement - ETN, HON, EMR
11. US - Healthy Food - Industrial Farming, Factory Farms, Hormons, Pesticides, Fertilizers, Chilpotle, Hanes Celestial Seasons, Whole Foods re: Cramer 4-18-11
12. Gold - Inflation Hedge and Especially GLD, SLV, GG, NG, BRK re: Cramer 4-18-11
13. Homeland Security - Even though defense is being cut around the world by developing nations, terrorism is a force that will stick around just like Middle East Terrorism Groups - NICE, Fortnet, American Science and Engineering re: Cramer 4-18-11 Trump should also expand insecurity through isolationism and uncertainty of campaign promises.
14. Currency Going Electronic - Consider credit card companies as a value growth proposition. DFS, MA, V, and AXP will all benefit from this trend.
15. Paperless Office - Though this was a theme in the 90s I believe the paperless office is happening now at an accelerated rate. Companies that can benefit might be ADBE which holds the keys to PDF productions. Other software and cloud plays will also benefit. There is a lack of a pure play paperless office company.
