Ad ProsperityPubMy most important prediction yetOne year ago at this time, I was gearing up to do something I’d never done before… After years of working behind the scenes, helping Tom Busby and teaching traders all about the markets, I was about ready to jump in front of a camera. Why? Because my research and years of expertise were showing me a phenomenon that people NEEDED to know about. That gold was setting up to go on a historic run that I called the “2024 Gold Supercycle.” I went LIVE on December 7, 2023, and made my bold prediction — staking 20+ years of a reputation on this one public prognostication. And the rest, as they say, is history… Gold went on to have its best year since 1979 — almost half a century! I’m going to tell you all about it on Wednesday, December 4th @ 1:00 PM ET, 362 days after I first made my prediction on gold.Go here and finish your registration to receive your access link Get Element Solutions News Delivered to You Automatically Sign up to receive the latest news and ratings for ESI and its competitors with MarketBeat's FREE daily newsletter.
