Right
now it is looking like my colleague Manfred Zimmel of
Amanita
forecasts are always based on a blend of several factors, in this free
commentary I want to explain a key cycle that makes this projection more
understandable (first published in the subscriber area 1 month ago): the 76.6
year cycle with its fascinating numerological origin. Let's start an
inflation-adjusted chart of the Dow Jones (see link for explanations and the
source of this chart):

(1)
The origin of the
cycle are the
(2)
If you add 76.59
years you arrive at 1853 that was the high of the Elliott wave 1 of the
bull market since the 18th century, the sharpest pullback of the 19th century
ensued.
(3)
Another 76.59
years into the future is September 1929, the end of wave 3 of the bull
market, the most painful bear market of the 20th century shook the planet in
the next years (Great Depression).
(4)
If you again add
76.6 years you arrive at approximately 4 /4 / 2006, the (orthodox or
secondary) top of the 200+ year bull market (wave 5). A meaningful window for
such a long-term cycle is +/- 1
month
(i.e. March-April 2006), perhaps even only +/- 1 week. The Dow Jones is now
within shouting distance of the all-time highs, and many indices including
small caps like the Wilshire 5000, Russell 2000, NYSE Composite or the German
MDAX are even at all-time highs. In both previous cases of this cycle it took
decades (!) to take out these highs, this time it could be similar...
The
most intriguing fact about this cycle is the numerological derivation of
the empirically measurable cycle length of about 3996 weeks: 3996 = 37 * 108.
37 was
the most important number in the old

108 is a
number of paramount significance in many religions around the globe, not only
in Buddhism and Hinduism but also in Islam where it is referring to god. In the
Indian Vedas it is the most important of all numbers. Besides, there are
incredible astronomic connections of the number 108: the diameter of the sun
(1.39 million km) is 108 times the diameter of earth ( 12800 km ). And 108 times the solar diameter equals
the distance sun-earth (one astronomic unit = 150 million km).

From
these considerations it's justified to conclude that 108 is more than just a
"myth" but rather the expression of the Holy Geometry of the
creation. 108 connects out planet with the sun, the "creator" of the
solar system .
Moreover,
108 is 12 * 9 with 12 being the earthly time rhythm (12 * 2 hours every
day, 12 * 5 minutes per hour, 12 * 5 seconds per minute and so on) while the 13
is the tact of the Galactic clock, that's
why the basic matrix in the Mayan calendar (Tzolkin) is 13 * 20 = 260.
In heliocentric astrology we work with 9 planets (earth and moon
are almost identical) and 12 signs, so we are using a 9 x 12 = 108 matrix.
As a
cross-confirmation, the independence of the
Martin
Armstrong who was in my opinion imprisoned because he refused
to share his full (unpublished) knowledge with the CIA
("accidentally" within days of the high of the Dow Jones in January
2000...?) was able to track the 108-year cycle thousands of years back in
history. His
This
cycle could have further implications: 76.6 years from the most important low
of the 20th century (July 1932) points at February 2009 which roughly
aligns with the turn of the 2.15-year

only a key year because of the birth of the
It's
quite revealing to interpret the recent news in the light of this background: the
Refco scandal that made it to the headlines had the
Austrian labor-union owned bank BAWAG as one of the
main "victims" (or "culprits"?). Fritz Verzetnitsch,
the boss of the labor union, had to resign. What the
mass media don't tell us is that Verzetnitsch is one
of just a handful of Austrians with hot connections to the Trilateral
Commission, a similar organization with Rockefeller playing a key role. As
usually, when some billions of euro or dollar
suddenly "disappear" you can bet that the story is going back to a
small circle of elitists... As Rockefeller once stated (source: wikipedia), it would have been impossible to work on the
plans for world domination under public observation.
What
are the current market internals saying on this subject? Long-term top
formations are usually characterized by extended divergences among the
different sectors, countries and indices. As a matter of fact, the roll-over
already commenced 1/2 year ago with the Dow Jones Utilities Index ($DJUSUT)
entering a bear market; the utilities remain a key sector for the economy. The
NDX has now already held its January top for 3 months, and it seems as if the
Dow formed its (multi-) year high in March. This is confirmed by the smart
money index S&P 100 (OEX) failing to take out the March high for 3 weeks
now. In addition, the real estate sector ($REIT) no longer wants to go higher,
in a mania market environment with a huge debt load this sector is very
important. The biotech's ($BTK) that have always been very strong lately suddenly
plunged by 10%, too. So the market is mainly held up by the small caps ($RUT)
and partly also by the mid-caps ($MID) which is very unhealthy and a sign of
way too much risk-taking. Even the EuroStoxx and the
semis ($SOX) couldn't better the March tops.
