There is no magic secret. However, there are many ways to foresee a possible trend. You could spend weeks learning different ways to find these market waves, but I will give you some significant clues to discover them.

Clues for Developing Investing Trends

• New or Reinvented and made public
• More frequent findings in trade journals, magazines, and newspapers
• Haven't been exploited already by Wall Street
• A Hype or following begins to develop

Examples of some of these are easy to see in hindsight. Apple came out with iPod (huge) and then iPhone; the stock skyrocketed. Industry/ idea that developed and became pricey is the whole group of nanotechnology stocks/ companies. eBay and Amazon- you can buy anything in the world online.

What you should be looking for:
-There are trends on small scale all the way to colossal scale (all of which can make you colossal amounts of money).
-Micro-trends are similar to what happened with the iPod- it affected one company (Apple) and a few other mp3 player manufacturers.
-Colossal trends are like oil, it has been making boat loads of money for people for over 100 years!

The next colossal trend will be a mixture of smaller trends all working together, and that is GREEN! Everyone wants to be green. Green this, green that; it's on TV. There are magazines just for green: Green living, cooking, cleaning, building, organic food, etc. Everything that being green incorporates will make money, so you have to think about what green means.

Clean energy will be the massive breakthrough, and General Electric (GE) has already invested billions in creating alternative energy. Who knows if that energy source will be hydrogen, solar, or a mixture of every possible alternative. Either way, institutional investors will be pouring billions into these stocks over the next decade or two. So find companies that are going green, and especially find companies that are carving out a niche in our new "Green World." Invest and let these companies bring you loads of green (cash)!
