Due to my presence at a financial conference in Girona, Spain, this week's column will be brief.

Review and Preview :

Stocks markets were down until early Thursday last week, and then reversed, with most of the upward movement taking place after Friday's Labor Department report, which announced 223,000 new jobs were created in the USA. This was in line with last week's comments stating, "There is another indicator correlating with the sharp drop in stock prices late last week. Transiting Mars was (and still is) conjunct the NYSE natal Sun/Mercury square Pluto ("Buttonwood" chart), a transit that has a very strong historical correspondence to sharp declines in the DJIA. It could end at any time between April 30 and May 6, which is when this aspect's orb is strongest". Bingo! .

Best Trades of the Past Week :

The best trade of the week in the weekly program was in the stock indices. For the June S&P E-Mini contract, the weekly report stated, " Aggressive traders are short with a stop-loss based on both ESM and DJIA making new highs this week. You may cover at 2075-2080 and go long with a stop-loss on a close below 2060 or 2070, depending on risk allowance". That worked out very well as the low of the week was 2057, but it never closed below 2074, so traders made a great profit on the shorts and are long with excellent open profits, as the close was 2108.50.

The best trade in the daily program was for stock indices on Wednesday, which for the S&P futures (emini) advised, "Aggressive traders are short and may cover 1/3 now for a nice profit, and the rest at 2075 +/- 5 and go long with a stop-loss on a close below 2060". The low of the day was 2061.25 and the close of the week was 2108.50. It was a great profit on the shorts and now we are long with an excellent profit do far on the longs. All traders got long all the other indices then too.

Short-Term Geocosmics :

Our attention will now focus on May 15-June 15, as an abundance of important geocosmic signatures will unfold then, starting with the Mars/Saturn opposition on May 15. This is a signature that correlates with combative and war-like tensions, and it is likely to continue until then end, when the Sun/Mars conjunction take place.

We will discuss this in more detail in next week's column, after we return from the Girona financial conference.

Longer-Term Thoughts :

MMA's weekly and daily reports have been extremely accurate and profitable over the past several weeks, especially in equity indices, crude oil, and precious metals. If you are an active short-term trader, or even if you are an investor who likes to keep up with our current thoughts on financial markets, you may be interested in our Weekly or Daily Market reports. It is the only way I keep in touch with traders on a daily or weekly basis. These weekly reports give in-depth analysis of the DJIA, S&P and NASDAQ futures, Euro currency (cash and futures), Dollar/Yen cash and Yen futures, Euro-Yen cash, T-Notes, Crude Oil, Soybeans, Gold and Silver. The daily reports cover all stock indices listed above, as well as futures in Euro, T-Notes, Gold and Silver, plus GLD and SLV (the Gold and Silver ETF's). Both reports provide trading strategies and recommendations for position traders as well as for shorter-term aggressive traders. Subscription to the daily report also includes the weekly report. For more information, or call our offices at 1-248-626-3034. These reports are extremely valuable to those who trade ETF's (Exchange Traded Funds). And since early December, these reports have been extremely profitable. As subscriber and trader R.B. of Albuquerque, NM writes",You have been on an incredible run for a while ; I have never seen anything like it". Well, when everything lines up just right...

If you are an active short-term trader, or even if you are an investor who likes to keep up with our current thoughts on financial markets, you may be interested in our Weekly or even Daily Market reports with short-term trading recommendations, (see a sample there, of the weekly). It is the only way I keep in touch with traders on a daily or even weekly basis, as I no longer offer personal consultations. These reports give in-depth analysis of the DJIA, S&P and NASDAQ futures, Euro currency (cash and futures), Swiss Franc, Dollar/Yen cash and Yen futures, Euro-Yen cash, T-Notes, Soybeans, Crude Oil, Gold and Silver.

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 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.
