Note 1 : 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.

Due to the all-day workshop this Saturday, April 20 in Ft. Lauderdale and via Zoom, there will be no column per se this week. Instead, we will reprint our "NOTES TO INVESTORS AND TRADERS FRO 2024 given in the Forecast 2024 Book , which was written in October-November 2023. It is very pertinent to what is happening right now as Jupiter conjoins Uranus.

This 14-year cyclical conjunction will also be the central focus of our Saturday workshop described in the ANNOUNCEMENTS section at the end of this excerpt. Or, please click here.

BRIEF NOTE TO INVESTORS AND TRADERS IN 2024

Page viii except from Forecast 2024 Book

Written October-November 2023

Let's get right down to it.

My outlook and trading plans for 2024 will be primarily based around the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction on April 20-21, 2024, at 21° Taurus 50.' I am looking for financial markets to spike sharply down or up into that period and then reverse.

I think some markets, like Bitcoin, may go up several weeks or months afterwards due to the halving phenomenon that is expected to occur around April 2024, especially given that the potentially explosive Jupiter/Uranus in Taurus unfolds then. Crude Oil, which is co-ruled by Jupiter, could also experience a parabolic move, but for different reasons related to supply and demand perceptions combined with world tensions. If you are a trader, this might be the most important part of this year's book for you.

If there is a fundamental reason for any market to spike going into or coming out of the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in April, traders should be aware of this possibility. I may be right, or I may be wrong. But suppose I am right about the correspondence of Jupiter/Uranus to explosive price moves in financial markets. Based upon the history of this pairing, I think it could be an opportunity akin to a Gold prospector striking "the mother lode." But if a big move fails to materialize, traders should fully understand that one could lose everything (and more) invested in a trade involving futures or options. One must understand the importance of risk management and risk/reward ratios.

So, let me say a few things about this subject too. In taking on any speculative trade, one needs to contemplate how much they can afford to lose without altering their lifestyle, while at the same time understanding the possibilities of huge returns if markets behave as they often have in the past under this type of aspect. This is speculation. In my own personal case, and at my age (I am over 30), I can't afford and will not risk more than 10% of my liquid assets. I can afford a 10% drawdown for a possible payout of 4-5 times (or more) of the position(s) I am willing to take on with futures (unlimited risk) or option strategies on futures (limited risks). Thus, readers might want to use a similar measure of risk management, regardless of their age. But do not risk your lifestyle on any trade!.

I will also continue to purchase 5% or greater U.S. Treasuries/T-Bills for 6-month - 2-year maturities. And as long as this once (and still) proud nation can still pay its bills, that means my actual risk in 2024 around the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Taurus might only be slightly shy of 5%. I like that plan even better for a possible 4-5 fold return on the right trade, as I said before. That's what I am looking for in proximity to Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and especially in Bitcoin and Crude Oil or whatever market looks like it might "explode higher" going into or out of that period.

In a perfectly orderly world based on simple astrology, markets would be expected to rise sharply into Jupiter conjunct Uranus and then move down just as sharply into the Jupiter/Saturn square, which will follow August 19, 2024, through June 15, 2025. But it will probably not be a perfectly ordered world or a perfectly related correlation. It may not be an exact repeat of the abstract cyclical outlook, but it could rhyme.

So, let's start off this year's Forecast Book with the simple idea of building a yearly trading plan around the 14-year geocosmic signature - Jupiter conjunct Uranus - because it has one of the highest planetary correlations to primary and even long-term cycles within a month. And it will ideally be followed by an opposite reaction into the Jupiter/Saturn waxing square that will follow.

Let's go! Let's find markets that are in their time band for 50-week or greater cycles near to April 20-21, 2024. Read on for some ideas, and enjoy this year's rendition of our astrological almanac. May it be a good one for you, for all of us...

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 G...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.
