17-Year Cycle & 40-Year Cycle…

04/30/12 INSIIDE Track: 17-Year Cycle & Euro…  

The ubiquitous 17-Year Cycle is not only identifying a unique sequence of destabilizing events in Mexico, it is poised to do the same (but not the same) in France. 

            17 years from the last socialist elected to lead France (in 1995), there is the threat of a repeat.  However, this time it could have much farther-reaching repercussions…

            The biggest fear is how this will impact the Euro.  The thinking is that Sarkozy was more of a hard-liner, when it came to adherence to economic criteria for the Eurozone… particularly with how recent events in Greece unfolded.  Sarkozy and (Germany’s) Merkel were the two most outspoken advocates of fiscal accountability for Greece.

            With Sarkozy out of the picture – if he is defeated in this election – it could contribute to ‘lowering the bar’ with respect to fiscal discipline (or at least the illusion of fiscal discipline) in the Eurozone… at least that is the talk.”

The 17-Year Cycle is corroborating much of what the 40-Year Cycle concludes regarding future turmoil in Europe.  If that continues to be the case, Jan. 1, 2016–Jan. 1, 2019 should be the key, as the Euro completes its latest 17-Year Cycle (from virtual currency on Jan. 1, 1999 to physical currency on Jan. 1, 2002).  That is when the fireworks are most likely to erupt… and so might a couple key volcanoes.
