The Market Week in Review :

Last week had all the dynamics of the current mundane and financial astrological signatures on full display.

First, the week started with the powerful "cover-up" signatures of the recent solar eclipse conjunct transiting Saturn in Scorpio, sign of secrecy and behind-the-scenes efforts to keep things hidden. However, with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and Uranus square Pluto (ruler of Scorpio), that wasn't going to work, and so the other side of Scorpio took over. The relentless effort to keep digging and expose that which had been hidden or denied, went into full gear. In the United States, we saw this with the Affordable Care Act debacle, also known as Obama Care. First was the shock that the President's promise given at least 36 times that " If you like your health care insurance, you can keep it. Period..". was not actually true. Then came his qualification mid-week that, "I said you can keep it if your health insurance didn't change after the ACA was voted on (in 2010)". But that didn't work either, because :
1) that wasn't what he said, and

2) the terms of health insurance change every year.

Finally, on Thursday, after a hastily called meeting with several Democratic Senators "..who face particularly tough races next November. worries run deep in Democratic circles that persistent problems with the health law rollout could give a boost to Republican candidates." the President apologized (Wall Street Journal, November 8, 2013, "Worried Senators Press Obama"). It was a classical Mercury retrograde (change of strategies, mixed signals), but it was also classic Pluto and Scorpio dynamics (hide the facts, revelation of the facts, denial of facts, apologize when the truth can't be covered up any longer, etc.). The question now lingering is whether that apology will be enough to recover the loss of trust. With Neptune continuing to hang over the President's chart into early 2015, that is not a given. It is like all relationships : they work well as long as there is trust. But, once trust is violated, it is hard to recover. The relationship is never quite the same again. It's like that old Righteous Brothers hit : "You've lost that loving feeling, and now it's gone, gone, gone".

Mercury retrograde and the strong presence of Pluto and Scorpio were also on display in both the economy and art world. In economic news, the European Central Bank surprised everyone on Thursday by lowering its key interest rate a quarter point. The Euro currency (and precious metals) fell hard, and the Dollar rose. On Friday, as market commentators expected a small rise of perhaps 125,000 new jobs in the USA, the Labor Department announced a surprising increase of 204,000! Wasn't the market just recently upset because the Fed decided in September not to taper (eliminate or reduce their monthly Treasury purchases to hold long-term rates down), because the jobs market and economy was weak ? And wasn't everyone agreeing that the Fed wouldn't begin to taper until well into next year ? That discussion suddenly turned on Friday's surprisingly strong jobs number, and now there is again talk about the Fed tapering sooner rather than later.

But wait a minute! The Fed just released a study last week that advises that they - the Fed - keep interest rates near 0% until the unemployment rate falls to 6% or even 5.5%, and not the higher 6.5% level it set earlier this year. Talk about mixed signals and Mercury retrograde! Or, and let's bring a little Scorpio intrigue into this discussion following the strong jobs report, and also the surprising upward revisions in the prior two months reports. After the report, respected economist Mark Zandi of Moody's told CNBC, "I find this bizarre. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets revised to some degree...down". Now, who benefits the most from this startling positive jobs number ? It is nice to know the news cycle going into a weekend. It is even better if you can influence it. Oops! That's more Scorpio-Pluto stuff than we want to entertain.

Coincident with all this contradictory news, policies, politics, and economic reports, the equity markets had a fascinating week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P soared to a new all-time high on Thursday (but not the NASDAQ), with the DJIA almost touching 15,800. By the end of the day, it closed over 200 points lower. It continued lower early Friday before reversing from a daily low of 15,579 and then closing nearly 200 points higher. Episodes like that will keep chiropractors in great demand !.

Gold and Silver were not so fortunate. After failing to close above 1320 the first four days last week, on Friday Gold finally fell hard on the "good news" of jobs gains, down to 1280.50. It closed at 1289. Silver flirted with 2200 all week, only to settle at 2150. The Euro, which was trading well above 1.3800 the prior week, fell below the 1.3300 mark on Thursday. It closed the week around 1.3350. With Pluto sitting on the Sun of many countries who belong in the Euro Union, and with Uranus squaring there natal Suns from 10 degrees of Aries-Capricorn mark, such a sudden decline was overdue. Pluto rules debt and marriages by money (alliances with a common currency cause). Transiting Pluto on the Sun of all those countries may mean they have been - and are - going through a debt crisis that interrupts their path from the current to the future.

Best Trades of the Past Week :

The best trades of the week in the weekly report were in stocks again. Based on the DJIA, traders were advised, " You may go long in weekly support (15,521-15,525) with a stop-loss on a close below 15,235". The low was right there at 15,522. How did we do that ? We will explain in Course 5 of MMTA, next March.

The best trades in the daily report were also in stocks, via the DJIA. Tuesday's report stated, "Aggressive traders are still long with a stop-loss on a close below 15,450 after exiting 2/3 of these longs now for profits last week. Let's still exit the rest at 15,800 +/- 10 if offered. In the meantime, you can still buy back at 15,530-15,550". The low that day was 15,522. The high later that week was 15,797, where we ended up exiting only 1/3 of those longs at 15,800 +/- 10 on Thursday.

Short-Term Geocosmics :  

A new time band of several geocosmic signatures has started up on Wednesday, November 6 with a bang ! The Euro declined sharply, along with Gold and Silver, and the DJIA surged to a new high, sold off later that same day by 200 points, and then regained those lost points on Friday. As stated in last week's column, ". (November 6 is) when the Sun conjuncts Saturn and Jupiter turns retrograde, just one day after Venus leaves the expansive and exaggerative sign of Sagittarius for the contracting and demanding-of-accountability sign of Capricorn. Between November 6 and November 15, there will be seven important geocosmic signatures unfolding, and at least three of them involve Jupiter and Neptune, which rules Crude Oil. The end of this time band is also important because Venus in Capricorn will conjunct Pluto and square Uranus".

This week, as this reversal time band is in effect, our attention will be on many financial astrological factors. First, Mercury ends its retrograde motion this weekend, November 10. On its own, that is a positive, although it usually takes a week for the recent technical distortions to work themselves back to state that is more normal. However, Neptune will also end its retrograde motion on November 13. Thus, it is going to continue being a Mercury (information) - Neptune (false and misleading) period. You must be careful about believing what you hear, and always questions the motivations behind what people disclose (and fail to disclose that you need to know in order to make correct decisions). This is apt to be a classical "Buy the rumor, sell the fact" kind of week, or the opposite. That is furthermore highlighted on November 14-15 when Venus in Capricorn will conjunct Pluto and square Uranus. This could coincide with more surprise announcements from the central banks of the world, which in turn means more surprise moves in financial markets. This is not a time to be complacent. It could be costly. And if you are up on matters and act quickly, it could be very profitable.

             I am oftentimes asked for recommendations of a money manager who uses my methods, since I won't manage other people's money. The thing is, almost all money managers I know use their own systems. But many subscribe to my services and share my thoughts about the future of the economy, various financial markets, and how to position one's portfolio along these lines. One money manager who subscribes to our services that I would suggest for those looking to structure a longer-term portfolio, such as a retirement account, is Duke O'Neill of Boulder, Colorado. He can be reached at dukeoneil1@gmail.com, or 1-(303) 545-5837. For those looking for a professional trader of commodity and futures contract might consider Ted Lee Fisher at ted.fisher@comcast.net. Ted is a legend in financial futures and has a seat on the CME. Both are very knowledgeable of the tools I use, of the way I am looking at markets, and yet each makes their own decisions as to exactly when to enter and exit any market. They will be more than happy to assist you.

             To the above list, I would also like to recommend long-term MMA subscriber Erwin Brunner of Zurich, Switzerland. Mr. Brunner is the founder of BrunnerInvest AG. One of his five funds was awarded theBest in-house fund of funds in the world recently. Mr. Brunner is a former director of the Swiss Banking Corporation (today it is known as UBS), and a general director of Rothschild Bank in Zurich. As an independent wealth manager for high net worth individuals and institutional clients only, he places his clients into the funds of the best performing fund managers in the world, via his own research and experience. For high net worth readers interested in Mr. Brunner's funds, please contact him through www.brunnerinvest.ch.

             The newly revised The Sun, The Moon, and Silver Book : Secrets of a Silver Trader, is now out. This is a book that you will use as a reference guide for...many, many years. It identifies all the key Sun-Moon combinations that have a higher (and lower) than expected probability of correlating with 4% or greater reversals in COMEX Silver. It also identifiesBig Range Days - those days in which the range of Silver is most likely to be 3.5% or more of the price of Silver, which is a great tool for day traders. This book fulfills the dream of all traders : high probability winning trade possibilities, with minimal market exposure. It is thatextra edge. And Silver is a great market to trade now. The cost is $125.00. For ordering on line.

Disclaimer and statement of purpose : The purpose of this column is not to predict the future movement of various financial markets. However, that is the purpose of the MMA (Merriman Market Analyst) subscription services. This column is not a subscription service. It is a free service, except in those cases where a fee may be assessed to cover the cost of translating this column from English into a non-English language. This weekly report is written with the intent to educate the reader on the relationship between astrological factors and collective human activities as they are happening. In this regard, this report will oftentimes report what happened in various stock and financial markets throughout the world in the past week, and discuss that movement in light of the geocosmic signatures that were in effect. It will then identify the geocosmic factors that will be in effect in the next week, or even month, or even years, and the author’s understanding of how these signatures will likely affect human activity in the times to come. The author (Merriman) will do this from a perspective of a cycle’s analyst looking at the military, political, economic, and even financial markets of the world. It is possible that some forecasts will be made based on these factors. However, the primary goal is to both educate and alert the reader as to the psychological climate we are in, from an astrological perspective. The hope is that it will help the reader understand these psychological dynamics that underlie (or coincide with) the news events and hence financial markets of the day.

No guarantee as to the accuracy of this report is being made here. Any decisions in financial markets are solely the responsibility of the reader, and neither the author nor the publishers assume any responsibility at all for those individual decisions. Reader should understand that futures and options trading are considered high risk.
