Advanced Trends

What is Advanced Trend? Maybe it will be easier to get your mind thinking of what gets a trend going, or how did a trend get into position to be able to start, and what was the trigger to get it activated.

We Will go to the Moon

For an example in 1954 Sergei Koroley purposed a earth-orbiting satellite. Then in Oct. 4 1957 Sputnik was launched. This did not sit well for the United States so it wasn’t until Sept. 12, 1962 that president John F. Kennedy spoke at Rice Stadium and said “we choose to go to the Moon” and said it would be in that decade. This was the trigger point to a dramatic Trend.

That Trend, Changed the World

From that trend it changed the world, why? Because it gave a direction and a focus for the free world. From that thousands if not millions of inventions would spring forth, and like a domino effect the greatest advancements of about everything you can imagine sprang forth. They went to the moon in that decade. And they did it with computers that are not as powerful as the one in your cell phone today, which if it were not for the space program we may not have today.

What you could have done

It is unimaginable what you could have done if you knew that trend was starting, and what direction it would take. But it is not only the science or the companies that benefited buy that trend. Just take a look back and find the trends, how about the movies that were made, the fashions, even foods that started remember Tang? Even fabrics for clothing, better plastics. We can go on for a long time just thinking about all that came from that trend.

New shift of thought

But today we are faced with a whole new shift of thought, so now what is the trend that will change the next ten years? And what trend can you take advantage of? And how should you?

A Trend is started and motivated buy the masses

A trend is started and motivated buy what the masses want and need. I had a friend that would make his investment picks just from what he saw on the evening news, and he was very successful at it because he knew that emotion played a big part on day trading.

A Trend is the Expression of Cause

A trend is the expression of cause and effect. Oprah Winfrey would suggest a book to read (the cause), the next month it would be number one(the effect). A princess or first lady would wear a dress or a hair style (cause), and it would change fashion (effect).

Ways of Communication

Now with all the ways of communication someone makes a tweet and a nation changes, and becomes a trend for a generation to follow. Also it becomes harder to forecast how long a trend will last. So look and watch for trends if you get to understand them and what is the driving force behind the trend then you will be in a better position to take advantage of the trend, or maybe a step ahead of it.
