Go to the sheet for Downloading the video for the Ultimate book on stock market timing.

Note : The purpose of this column is to provide educational insights into the tenets of geocosmic studies as they correspond to economic, political, and socio-psychological matters, as one of several tools that in turn may assist in the practice of financial market timing. This column is not intended, nor should it be used, as an advisory service for trading financial markets, without use of other financial market analysis tools. MMA subscription reports provide that type of advisory service, with specific recommendations for trading.

Note : There will be no weekly column issued next week, as I will be speaking Friday evening in Boulder, CO. Looking forward to seeing many readers from the Denver area then. See Announcements at the end of this report for details and contact information.

Review and Preview :

". the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian Government in its election interference activities".  Robert Mueller, Associated Press, "Responses Spin After Mueller's Findings are Released", April 19, 2019.

Mr. Mueller makes no "prosecutorial judgement" about obstruction, though he conspicuously says that "this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him". - Wall Street Journal Editorial Page, "Obstruction of Nothing", April 19, 2019.

"No Collusion. No obstruction. For the haters and the radical left Democrats - Game Over". - Donald Trump@realDonaldTrump.

Despite furious Republican demands to drop the subject altogether, Democrats, if anything, appear more alarmed about the president's conduct as outlined in the report and more determined to pursue several lines of inquiry and hear from the special counsel, Robert Mueller III, himself. - Carl Hulse, "Mueller Findings Kick Off a Political Tug of War That's Only Just Beginning", The New York Times, April 19, 2019.

The long-awaited Mueller Report finally came out on Thursday, April 18, and the result was a big .. no surprise. However, the response was very big, and despite promises to the contrary upon release, no one changed their mind. Likewise, the stock markets of the world didn't change their direction either. Most continued their torrid rally that started in late December. Some, like India's Nifty and Zurich's SMI, soared to new all-time highs. Others, like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P, and NASDAQ Composite, are getting close.

The rallies to new cycle highs last week may still be related to the April 10-15 time band of containing three major Jupiter transits, including its stationary retrograde date of April 10. That was also the date of the new multi-month high in Bitcoin, which was tested, but not yet exceeded as of last week. But the fact that many stock indices closed the week on or near their highs for 2019 suggest that prices could go higher, which means one of the forthcoming geocosmic signatures could have a stronger correlation to a reversal in equities, while the April 10-15 signatures correlated to a reversal in other markets, like highs in Bitcoin, Crude Oil, and U.S. Treasuries.

Short-Term Geocosmics ~~and longer term thoughts~~ :

We are about to begin a time band containing several important geocosmic signatures with historical correlations to reversals in many markets, April 22 through May 18. This time band will be bookended by the Sun/Uranus conjunction on April 22 and the Venus/Uranus conjunction May 18. Both are considered Level 1 (most powerful) in our studies of reversals in equity markets going back to the late 1920s. Both involve Uranus, which makes this a very challenging period for both investors and market analysts, since Uranus pertains to the unpredictable. In most cases, such periods coincide with reversals. But in a surprisingly large percentage of cases, such Uranus signatures also have coincided with sharp breakouts of well-defined resistance and support zones, leading to new highs in some markets and new lows in others. The stock market is nearing new highs. In fact, several global indexes are already making new highs for this year (2019), and this surge up to new highs can be associated with the Sun/Uranus conjunction in Taurus (money and stocks) this Monday, April 22, It is possible that these breakouts will continue, or resume, near the time when Venus conjoins Uranus on May 18, again in Taurus, the ruling of sign of Venus.

The explosive breakout potential of Uranus, however may be repressed by the retrograde of Pluto and Saturn, which take place in the next week, on April 22 and 29 respectively. The latter (Saturn retrograde) is another important Level One geocosmic signature as published in "The Ultimate Book on Stock Market Timing, Volume 3 : Geocosmic Correlations to Trading Cycles".

When planets change direction, as in the case of Pluto and Saturn next week, it highlights the principles of that planet. Pluto pertains to the psychology of obsession and relentless attacks or efforts to remove someone from their current position. Hence, the calls for impeachment. It also pertains to danger and threats, whether related to nature (like fires and floods, storms and high winds) or human activity that puts others in danger (terrorism, assassination attempts, power plays). But it can also represent intense efforts to rebuild and reform that which has been damaged, or is in need of repair. Additionally, Pluto rules investigations and surveillance.

However, it is the April 29 Saturn station (going from direct to retrograde) that has a stronger correlation to reversals in financial markets. Saturn demands accountability, so the idea that the Mueller investigation has ended is probably not correct. It may instead just be the end of the first act, with more investigations about to be launched - and they may not pertain to only Donald Trump. Saturn has to do with the past. It may seem as if the whole 2016 election is returning, like an updated version of Bill Murray's "Groundhog Day". With Mars also square Neptune (April 27) right in the middle of these two retrogrades, we will once again be challenged to figure out the truth, because under Neptune, you can't believe what you see, hear, or read. The truth is within your own inner being. It's not coming from the outside.

~~Longer-Term thoughts :~~

To be continued (next week).

Upcoming Events :

April 26, 2019 7 P.M. : Boulder, Colorado".Forecasts for Financial Markets and USA Economy and Political climate : an evening with Ray Merriman. With Jupiter and Neptune in their ruling signs and square to one another, the principle of exaggeration in hopes and fears is present in all walks of life, including the economy, stock market and other financial markets, and politics. This combination only happens every 166-167 years, and this time is quite important because it is followed by the Capricorn Stellium in 2020. In this presentation, Ray will discuss the cosmic set up in 2019 and the "edge of the cliff" ahead in 2020, and what you can do to protect yourself and help others through what could be a turbulent period, but one with excellent investment possibilities as well. The location of this talk will be Room 9235 at the Naropa Nalanda Campus in Boulder, Colorado, 6287 Arapahoe Road, at the intersection of 63 rd and Arapahoe. The cost is $45 if registered before April 1, and $55 afterwards. Sponsored by ROMA, the Rocky Mountain Astrological Association. For registration, contact Patti Simmers at 720-989-8822, or via email at patti.simmers@comcast.net. Attendance will be limited to 80 persons. Sign up early.

June 8-16, 2019 : "Geocosmic Correlations to Trading Cycles", Beijing, China. A two-weekend intensive Market Trading workshop/retreat with Raymond Merriman. This 32-hour class intensive workshop will focus on the primary cycle and its phases - the half-primary, major, and trading cycles - and how to determine when they are due. Then, we will identify geocosmic signatures - Levels 1, 2, and 3 - as the basis for calculating CRDs (Critical Reversal Dates), to narrow the time band down for an important cycle reversal. Within that time, we will identify and discuss specific technical and charting tools that will further enhance the timing of a major market reversal, and the price target range to look for. In this analysis, we will also explore the use of 60- 30-, and 5-minutes charts for even more accurate entry and exit points. With these tools, we will then construct a daily and/or weekly trading plan, as used in MMA Daily and Weekly Reports, using current market situations. The workshop will take place on the weekends of June 8-9 and June 15-16. During the week, participants will have the option of taking tours with other MMA students to exciting areas of China. The cost for this unique and valuable trading retreat is $4000 (discounts will be available to subscribers of MMA Reports). For further information, please contact MMA at customerservice@mmacycles.com or call 1-248-626-3034 or 1-800-MMA-3349.

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!

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.
