If Michael Jackson is an echo of past glory
Where will the big BULL market occur
History rhymes and doesn’t repeat. Sorry, buddy, that ship has sailed.
And in the quest for riches, where do we turn to?
What market to focus on?
Like the sailors of yore, we follow the siren's song, right?
Instead of following the money, I propose following the. song.
That beautiful rhythm I spoke about yesterday that Michael was the antenna for.
Maybe Chris Dalla Riva can do a deep dive, to see if that rhythm and beat Michael Jackson is famous for reflect the economy, and culture in past historical epochs.
As I’m American and biased, I was looking to see if MJ would spearhead the bull market ahead, but he’s dead. None of our current music is original; it's the digitization of the real world. So I searched Google and found that Justin Bieber is our modern-day MJ, as he is the only true global superstar who started at a young age.
Putting into AI, I asked for similarities with MJ
Maybe?
His music is catchy, and I liked the recent album, especially Daisies, as the lyrics are playful.
At my age, I really don’t care to admit it.
But I don’t think Justin awakens the imitators and movements that got him inspired to be a performer. So, talking to someone the other day, I found my answer.
K-Pop.
I was listening to the hit song, Soda Pop, and asked her if she liked the song from the big Netflix hit and Academy Award-winning movie, K-Pop Demon Hunters
“Don’t understand the lyrics.”
Then it hit me
(Like gravity attempting the moonwalk)
To this day, I have no idea what MJ sang most of the time, and K-Pop, without any real memorable lines, has swept the world for over a decade now, and we didn’t realize it.
From Gangnam Style to now…
And as I mentioned, history rhymes, not repeats
(Isn’t rhythm a rhyme?)
Do you remember what happened in the 80s?
The Japanese market surged….
SONY was the Apple of its day
It was so bad that one of the hit 80s songs thought we were turning Japanese
The NIKKEI saw a huge market boom that only emerged recently.
I am going to wager the 300% move that the Korean market has made so far this year is the beginning of a Korean decade.
The leading stock for me to play it is PKX
Posco is a steel industry behemoth that Berkshire once owned.
It is also BIG into Lithium which Mith Besler informed his loyal readers.
He also recently posted on X that batteries must be on hand at a data center for uninterruptible service
Batteries need Lithium.
Ships, industry, and data centers need steel.
If Korea is to grow from this area, then construction is back.
There is a lot more to culture and what you consume with both your mind, mouth, and time than you realize.
And each individual is an antenna to the world around them, never discount it;
You’re special. Maybe not as wealthy as the next guy, and boy, you would like to be him.
But special and unique nevertheless
Never discount the potential you have and the potential of a great investment or trend.
Rule #1 - Don’t ruin your day
Always make it a great day because Joe is surely not going to do it for you. He has enough low self-esteem to let you know how successful he is.
