The 18 year cycle

Some people say there is an 18 year financial cycle. This may or may not be linked to the sun/moon eclipse cycle.
Anyway, if the last property crash was 1989, then the next property crash is 1989 + 18 = 2007

I have a feeling that this is an age thing and that every generation lives through it and refuses to be "had" again. That's what people mean when they say "older and wiser".0

I think you'll find the Wall Street Crash was 1929, not 1930. Starting on October 29th, "Black Tuesday" to be precise. The market bottomed out entirely in 1932 and recovered again by 1955.

None of this has anything to do with house prices falling, but then neither do suns, moons or numerology.0 -
Somebody once told my wife that she may or may not get pregnant but that much depended on the length of her cycle. We regularly used to ride our tandem up and down the Taff Trail at that time and, sure enough, she was pregnant within weeks!
Funnily enough, I now use it to take my kids to and from school. The little one goes on a tiny seat on the crossbar, while my daughter sits on the back. Rather ominously, just the other day, we crashed!
It's an old thing too. Eighteen years old I'd wager.0 -
