Review :

"Long-term cycles in USA stocks are still in their bullish phase as we enter 2017. Therefore, we still expect new all-time highs. Our price target for an all-time high would be anywhere between 19,500-23,500 in 2017. There are a couple of time frames that could be extremely volatile (big reversals begin). These include February 22-April 21, May 19-June 16, July 17-August 25 …" Forecast 2017 Book, written in November 2016. On August 8, the DJIA made a new all-time of 22,179. Prior to that, new all-time highs occurred on March 1 and June 19-20, the trading day after June 16. All three periods given for an all-time high in the DJIA were in fact all-time highs just before declines of significance.

"The probabilities favor new highs yet in the next month. Based on geocosmics, the best fits would be for a crest between July 19-August 7, or August 21-28. The upside price target for this top (in S&P) is 2485 +/- 20, or 2509.25 +/- 19.50". MMA Cycles Report #7, July 18, 2017. The highest close was August 7. The intraday high in the S&P futures on August 8 was 2488.50. By Friday, it had fallen as low as 2430.25.

For those who continue to insist there is no correlation between geocosmic phenomenon and human activity that indirectly - or even directly - has an effect on financial markets, take note. As pointed out in these columns over the past several months, the period between July 17 and August 25 is fraught with Mars cosmic themes. Mars rules war. The approaching total solar eclipse is in a conjunction with Mars, in the fire sign Leo, no less. The solar eclipse falls on Trump's natal Ascendant and Mars. The threat of war just escalated sharply last week and President Trump, as expected, was right in the middle of the firestorm.

The bull market in U.S. and other world stock indices suffered a sudden blow during trading hours August 8, one day after the lunar eclipse, when Donald Trump made a classical Mars threat to Kim Jong Un of North Korea, stating the country "will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen". Jong Un then retorted that Korea consider firing missles at Guam, over Japan. On that news the bull market abruptly stopped and the DJIA sold off over 300 points in the following two days, with Thursday alone down 204 points. It was the second worst week of the year for the DJIA.

The Martian events, however, were good news for precious metals and treasuries, which soared to new cycle highs.

By the way, one of our colleagues - Marie Schoeppel, who was one of the presenters invited at our recent MMA Investment Retreat last March - correctly forecasted that such a conflict would arise involving Korea. For more information on her special report of July 19 titled "North Korea Feels the Heat of the August 2017 Total Solar Eclipse, visit her website at www.globaltrendscycles.com. It is still relevant, for in it, she points out that Korea's natal Saturn is also on the degree of the eclipse - and Donald Trump's Ascendant and Mars. Not exactly a match made in heaven (more like hell).

Short-Term Geocosmics & longer-term THOUGHTS :

Last week's market activity proved once again the point made several times lately in this column : the greatest risk to the stock market is the political risk - and it involves President Trump, because he is the one whose natal Ascendant and Mars are being scorched by the solar eclipse. This is not to say he is right or wrong in his actions in regards to North Korea (or Iran). He is just being Mars-like - which means he is angry and willing to fight for what he believes is right, which I assume means the protection of the citizens of the U.S.A. I think he sees that as his highest duty at this time. So whether you like it or not, the world is currently under Mars - a war zone theme - for this month.

Of course, there is more going on in the cosmos than just Mars' highlights. In fact, the next two weeks are jam-packed with cosmic activity. First, our old friend Mercury turns retrograde this weekend, August 12, lasting through September 5. It is turning retrograde in Virgo, in opposition to Neptune in Pisces, which means this cycle will probably be one of the most confusing of all the Trickster's acts. Mercury retrograde is typically a period when information given and received is contradictory, and hence confusing - like central banks saying one thing but political leaders saying something completely opposite. But Neptune is the planet that rules confusion - and illusion, delusion, and subterfuge (there should be a word called "subterfusion", for the sake of alliteration). So, when the Trickster partners up with the god of diversion and distraction, what do you think happens ? I don't know, either. All I know is that I am not believing it.

This opposition is followed by a series of irrational contacts between transiting Venus, which forms a cardinal grand square with Jupiter, Pluto, and Uranus. In addition to being a deadly combination for meeting up with someone who has "fatal attraction" written all over their arms, legs, and most other body parts (it's just art and ink), it also portends a time of whipsaws in financial markets. First, they go up sharply, and you think, "Aha! The next leg up is underway". But then it suddenly reverses, and you think, "Oh, this is going to be a pounding down". And in the end, you get whiplash from being whipsawed by both Venus in a grand square, and Mercury the Tricksters being retrograde and in opposition with Neptune, the illusionist. It's magic!.

But the real magic comes on August 21, right in the middle of all this craziness, when the Moon intersects the plane of the Sun-Earth connection, and day turns into night.

Enjoy the show. It is not often you get to see a cosmic drama like we are experiencing in August 2017. Just make sure you requested comedy, however, and not tragedy. And also remember : astrology is not causation, but it is correlation, to events on earth. We do have the free will to choose the inevitable.

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).

These reports are extremely valuable to those who trade ETF's (Exchange Traded Funds).

Thanks for your excellent publications. - Bryden C., Small Business Owner, Illinois.

             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.

             It is with great pleasure that I announce the addition of Egon von Greyerz to MMA Investment Retreat faculty of presenters. I met Egon last week in Girona, Spain, at a special gathering attended by MMTA Graduates Nitin Bhandari (India), Philipp Beyer (Germany), Henry Canciglia (USA) and myself. Egon is an expert on Gold. He owns Matterhorn Asset Management, a Swiss Asset Management company specializing in wealth preservation, located in Zurich ( www.goldswitzerland.com). He was also the person who initiated the "Save Our Swiss Gold" Act in Switzerland late last year, which would have required the Swiss National Bank to back up their assets with 20% Gold holdings. The initiative failed, but his reasons for initiating this effort are still valid. Egon is very interested in MMA cycles' work, and will share his outlook on Gold and the world debt. This is a real treat!

             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.

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.
