Summary
Akhil Patel announces the release of Orlando Meet & Greet (May 31, 2026) session recordings for subscribers. Sessions covered: (1) 2026 Roadmap vs. actuals for the Dow and Nasdaq, plus forecast curves into the end of the decade; (2) commodities, gold, oil, the dollar, and long/short opportunities in mixed conditions. Patel explicitly states he is “of the view that we are seeing the peak of the land cycle in the US” and elaborates on the variable lag between the land-cycle peak and peaks in other markets. He references his May 2020 report “Welcome to the new Jazz Age” and the DJIA Pattern of the Decade report as companion materials. The sessions include downloadable slides.
