Over the past couple of years the DJIA appears to have been topping above the psychologically critically 10,000 mark:.

It was in late-August of 1987 when the stock market topped prior to the crash of that year. There is reason to believe that a similar market pattern is about develop with the stock market reversing from here into a selling climax into late-October. More specifically, over the next two months we are entering the window for a potential stock market crash based upon a remarkable discovery by market analyst Steve Puetz:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- THE OCTOBER 17th LUNAR ECLIPSE -

Steve Puetz discovered that almost all of the largest stock market crashes in history have occurred around the time of a lunar eclipse.

See - http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/783611

Consider the following excerpt from Peter Eliades online "Current Observations":

We seldom use much newsletter space for the ideas of others, but the theories we are about to present fit together so well, we believe you will find them as interesting as we do. The two researchers are Steve Puetz (pronounced "pits") and Chris Carolan. Chris just won the 1998 Charles H. Dow Award for his original research and the complete article is offered on his website at http://www.calendarresearch.com . The research by Puetz was first noted in our October 10, 1995 newsletter. Here is what we wrote:

"Puetz attempted to discover if eclipses and market crashes were somehow connected. Without discussing our own opinion on the potential connection between astronomical configurations and market timing, let's simply relate to you the basic findings discussed by Puetz. He emphasized that he is not contending that full moons close to solar eclipses cause market crashes. But he does conclude that a full moon in general and a lunar (eclipse) full moon close to solar eclipses, in particular, seem to be the triggering device that allows for the rapid transformation of investor psychology from manic greed to paranoia. He asks what the odds are that eight of the greatest market crashes in history would accidentally fall within a time period of six days before to three days after a full moon that occurred within six weeks of a solar eclipse? His answer is that for all eight crashes to accidentally fall within the required intervals would be .23 raised to the eighth power less than one chance in 127,000."

". . .Puetz) used eight previous crashes in various markets from the Holland Tulip Mania in 1637 through the Tokyo crash in 1990. He noted that market crashes tend to be lumped near the full moons that are also lunar eclipses. In fact, he states, the greatest number of crashes start after the first full moon after a solar eclipse when that full moon is also a lunar eclipse . . Once the panic starts, Puetz notes, it generally lasts from two to four weeks. The tendency has been for the markets to peak a few days ahead of the full moon, move flat to slightly lower --waiting for the full moon to pass. Then on the day of the full moon or slightly after, the brunt of the crash hits the marketplace."

An example of a lunar eclipse triggering a stock market crash occurred in October of 1987 when a lunar eclipse on October 7th was followed by a 13-day collapse in U.S. stock prices that culminated in an all-out crash on October 19th of that year when the DJIA fell over 20% in a single day.

In 2005 there are two solar eclipses and two associated lunar eclipses: there was a solar eclipse on April 8th that will be followed by a lunar eclipse on April 24th and in October there will be a solar eclipse on the 3rd followed by a lunar eclipse on the 17th.

See - http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/OH2005.html

The April eclipses were not associated with a stock market crash, but it is possible that the October eclipse will be. This is particularly so given stock market seasonality. As is widely recognized, the stock market has a tendency to fall during "the fall":

New York Stock Exchange: Worst Single-Day Declines
(Dow Jones Industrial Average, percentage change)

Percentage
Date Decline
__________________________________________
October 19, 1987 -22.6%
October 28, 1929 -12.8%
October 29, 1929 -11.7%
November 6, 1929 -9.9%
August 12, 1932 -8.4%
October 26, 1987 -8.0%
July 21, 1933 -7.84%
October 18, 1937 -7.75%
October 27, 1997 -7.16%
October 5, 1932 -7.15%
September 24, 1931 -7.07%

As can be seen in the table above, nine of the eleven largest one day percentage declines in the DJIA occurred in October or just before and after that black month. Is this pattern about to repeat? If so, the stock market crash will likely ensue after the DJIA breaks below 10,000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- THE HISTORICAL PATTERN OF DOW THOUSAND MARK PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS -

Historically, when the major stock averages, and the DJIA in particularly, reach or trade around psychologically important round numbers like thousand marks, the stock market may top-out and, failing to hold near or above the mark, sharply reverse course. A remarkable feature of these stock market reversals at thousand marks in the DJIA is that they are often associated with negative news that follows the market top.

For instance, on September 6th of 2001, the DJIA fell decisively below the 10,000 mark , THEN September 11th occurred driving the market down sharply.

Thus, when the DJIA reversed decisively from 10,000 in September of 2001, the breakdown in Western confidence manifested as the literal collapse of a key symbol of Western financial prowess and American global economic hegemony....the World Trade Center towers in New York City. Likewise, a blow occurred against the Pentagon in Washington DC, the symbol of American global military hegemony.

There are other major examples of significant negative historical events erupting in conjunction with reversals from key thousand marks in the DJIA.

Right after the DJIA failed at Dow 8000 in late-October of 1997, a mini-crash occurred in association with a financial panic in Asia.

8000c.gif


In 1997, the Dow reversed from the 7000 mark and the Fed raised interest rates for the first time since 1994 up to that point leading to a ten percent market correction.

7000c.gif


Likewise, when the Fed hiked interest rates in 1994 precipitating a year-long correction in the stock market, it occurred right after the Dow reversed from the 4000 mark in late-January of that year.

4000b.gif


In the summer of 1990, the DJIA reversed from 3000 and THEN Iraq invaded Kuwait, thereby triggering a Persian Gulf crisis and major oil- shock that caused the world economy to slip into a recession and stock prices to plunge by 25 percent. Notably, the DJIA topped by closing two days in a row at exactly 2999.75 on July 16th and 17th of that year (did not close above 3000 until the following year).

3000b.gif


Finally, between 1966 and 1982, the DJIA reversed from the "Magic 1000" barrier several times. After each reversal, all kinds of troubles emerged ranging from OPEC oil embargoes, to the Vietnam War, to Watergate. One of the most notable cases occurred in October of 1973 when the DJIA rose to just below Dow 1000 as the Arabs launched a surprise attack against Israel which, in turn, led to a major East/West confrontation and an Arab oil embargo against the West. Consequently, the world economy entered a severe contraction and stock prices plunged in the largest market correction up to that time since the Great Depression.

Given the historical pattern of major stock market reversals from key thousand marks in the DJIA, there is reason to believe that a new reversal below Dow 10,000 will be associated with a major decline in stock prices possibly triggered by some sort of historical "shock(s)" like occurred with such breaks in the past.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given that we are entering a window for a possible worldwide panic and global collapse of stock markets, it begs the question as to why?

If, indeed, a new large-scale decline in U.S. stock prices is getting underway, then what sort of events might erupt to upset investors' expectations?

Again, it could be that we are mainly dealing with an unraveling of the debt bubble that has been inflated by reckless government and Federal Reserve policies in recent years and decades.

See - http://www.economist.com/finance/displayStory.cfm?Story_id=2461875

If so, then the stock market may now start anticipating a debt-deflation implosion in the economy that astute thinkers like Robert Prechter have been warning about for years.

See - http://www.elliottwave.com/

Beyond the potential for a deflationary economic depression, however, what Prechter and other such long-wave theorists fail to recognize is that the social wave patterns they analyze do not necessarily unfold in a consequential manner, i.e., where a downturn in mood gives rise to the negative thinking and associated actions that beget greater upsets in collective confidence and reinforce given downtrends in collective mood. Rather, such historical wave patterns are synchronistic such that reversals and large-scale downtrends manifest as negative events collectively experienced as mass mood collapses. Accordingly, a reversal from Nasdaq 2000 and Dow 10,000 may be connected to negative historical shock(s) outside of financial markets and the economy. My concern remains for terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction and/or ultimately global nuclear war as I foresaw back in 1991.

I am not an expert but, if the market goes down like a stone in October, I don't think it will be a "Surprise" to "them".

In Politics and Finance nothing happens by accident.

I think that's a real driver, right there, which is now happening again...

Also, the correlation between the elliot wave and the Eur/usd is fascinating.

Ever read 10,000 years of Elliot Wave Analysis? or something like that....they did it back in '99 as the market was topping out before very early 2000....10,000 years up in Super Grand Cycle or whatever it's called and expect similiar situation back down....of course they didn't anticipate the level of manipulation of the Fed and Friends to pump things up to try and avoid the inevitable.....but nature will do its deeds nonetheless, they just put it off for a while....which only makes it worse wen it comes.

Please bear in mind that according to an "Elliott Wave" perspective what we could be looking at is a Grand Supercycle or even Millenium Cycle "crash" which entails the potential collapse of Western civilization. The Elliott Wave patterns of history suggest we are now at the peak of Western civilization and this is represented by the DJIA trading above 10K. The first major breach below 10K was 9/11. What will the next major breach bring?

Ha! What is going to crash the economy is the Tidal Wave. Odd, only a few people, their heads buried in their esetoric charts seem to notice that Wave coming.

Between the drop in consumer confidence, the fact that every house in America suddenly came up for sale in the last few weeks, the constant bad news drumbeat out of Iraq, school starting, and then add the Tidal Wave, that ought to about do it.

And once she starts to fall, she will really fall.

Oil Storms?

Hurricane Katrina then Hurricane Rita?

Historical shocks can come in any form...

Let's send in the military. No make it another invasion of Wall Street and they can control things!

Just normal stock market. These things happen over time! It likes to test lows every now and then. So don't panic. No need to send in the military. It will work itself out! Our economy is strong. It is expanding. No problem!

Partly in jest!

OOPs. I forgot maybe send in the Marines and they might e-mail out a lot of insider information to foreign countries!
