Presentation :

It's that time of the year again! As in the past, MMA offers a special pre-publication discount rate for those who pre-order the next year's book before October 15, 2009. We also have a special offer on the MMA Cycles Report and SOS Global Stock Market Report newsletter for those who pre-order the Forecasts 2010 (see back).

MMA's annual Forecasts Book , written by Raymond A. Merriman since 1976, is one of the most unique, affordable, and accurate glimpses into the coming year. Utilizing the study of cycles and geocosmic factors, this annual Forecasts book outlines forthcoming trends pertaining to political, economic, and financial markets throughout the world. Although 2009 is only approximately half over, it appears that the 2009 book may have been the most accurate of all that have been written in the past 33 years. Maybe we are getting good. Some of the Forecasts outlined in the 2009 book that have already come to pass, as of late July 2009, include :

1) "... fewer opportunities to work as more and more companies go out of business." Result : 3,000,000 more jobs were lost in the first six months of 2009 as many companies - like auto companies - filed for bankruptcy.

2)  "A government-backed financial bailout to help the auto companies is likely." Result : Early in the year, the U.S. government approved large bailout loans to both GM and Chrysler, and then helped both to go through bankruptcy to avoid further debts and thus survive... for the time being.

3)  "... major upheaval in the structure of the Federal Reserve Board, and possibly a time when the entity has lost control. At the very least, it's control will be seriously challenged, and don't be surprised to see calls from Congress or the White House to take it over, or eliminate it altogether, or to remove the current Fed Chair... With Uranus and Saturn T-squaring (Bernanke's chart), his status suddenly comes under questioning." Result : One of the most accurate mundane forecasts to date... . House Resolution 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, sponsored by Congressman Ron Paul, to audit - with the purpose of eliminating the FRB - was passed in June. During the early summer, Bernanke was called to testify before Congress on his role in the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the possible forced sell out of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America. He was treated very harshly by Congress, and there is now some doubt that he will be reappointed when his term comes up in January 2010.

4) "... transiting Jupiter in Capricorn (makes) a conjunction to the FRB natal Jupiter in the first half of December 2008. Up until then, the FRB may still be accommodative". Result : The FRB lowered its Fed Funds rate to a historically low 0-.25% in mid-December 2008 (the book was written in November 2008).

5) "My bias is that there will be a low in the second leg of a double bottom (in Treasuries), due July 2009 +/- 5 months... the next instance of the Moon's North Node entering this... sector of the zodiac will be April 21-August 21, 2009, which is in the time frame for the 25-month cycle trough (in Treasuries)". Result : the low in Treasuries for the year, as of this writing, was June 11 and June 22.

6) "A 4- and 6-year cycle low may be completed any time before May 2009... Once that low is in, look for a very healthy 5-16 month rally. If the rally doesn't last more than 20 weeks, then ... another round of hysteria and panic grips the market..." Result : The stock market low occurred on March 6, and as of this writing in late July, equity prices have been rising for over 4 months.

7) "Gold is due to complete its 8.5-year cycle trough... ideally around October-November 2008... Once it (the new cycle) starts, look for a re-test of $1000/ounce and maybe higher.."Result : Gold bottomed at 688 on October 24, 2008. On February 20, it hit 1009.80, its highest price of the year as of this writing.

8) "Silver is due to form a 111-week cycle (low) in late 2008, followed by a rally into the first half of 2009... That low appears to be forming now as this is being written in October-November 2008, perhaps with the 840 low of October 28. Once that low is in, look for a rally of at least 13-37 weeks... the price target could be as high as 1479 +/- 150". Result : The low was October 24, 2008, and the high for the year - as of this writing - occurred June 3, 2009 at 1594 in the cash index and 1625 in the nearby futures contract.

9) "A 17-month cycle low in the Euro (currency) and Swiss Franc is due in late 2008, early 2009, to be followed by a 2-8 month corrective rally into early 2009. This rally should not exceed 1.5000 in the Euro or 1.0000 in the Swiss Franc ..." Result : The Swiss Franc bottomed November 21, 2008 and the Euro did the same on March 4, 2009. Since the lows of March, the Swiss Franc has rallied as high as .9471 and the Euro to 1.4445 as of this writing August 1).

10) "Saturn and Uranus will be in opposition all year, which suggests very extreme weather conditions and temperatures, with a bias towards much colder temperatures than usual at times". Result : July was the coldest month on record in many regions of the grain-producing states.

11) "A 9-year cycle trough in Corn is due late 2008 through 2010, and ideally by mid-2009. The low is projected to hold above 300". Result: Cash Corn fell to 290 in the first week of December 2008, and is now testing the 300 level again as we come to the end of July 2009. Let's see if these lows hold as forecasted.

12) "Thus all of these cycles seem to be suggesting that an important low in Wheat is forming in late 2008 through 2009, and ideally by the early part of 2009. Once this low is in, look for a substantial corrective rally to begin." Result : Wheat bottomed December 5, 2008 at 455 in the nearby contract. It then rallied to the high of the year on June 1 at 677.

And of course : the all-important Critical Reversal Dates. Many of the 2009 critical reversal dates given for various markets have been impressive.* As of late July, all 7 of the major reversal dates given in stock indices unfolded within only two trading days, including the low of the year exactly on the March 6-9 date given. That is 100% accuracy ! All 7 dates given for Gold and/or Silver were also accurate within only 2 trading days for at least 4% reversals, including the high of the year in Silver (June 3) and the low of the year in both after the first half of January (i.e. April 20). That's 100% accuracy again ! The same was true in the currency markets. That is, all seven reversal dates given for the Euro currency (as well as Dollar-Yen) were accurate within only 2 trading days, including the yearly low in the Dollar-Yen (January 21), the yearly low in the Euro currency and Swiss Franc (March 4 and 12), and the yearly high in the Euro currency and Swiss Franc (June 2-3). In the grain markets, 8 of the 9 given reversal dates prior to August 1 correlated with excellent market reversals within 4 trading days, the vast majority within only 2 days, including the low of the year in Soybeans (March 2). The reversal dates for Crude Oil were accurate within three trading days in 6 of the 7 dates listed, including both the high and low of the year. Five of these 6 hits were within only one trading day of the reversal. The weakest results were in the Treasuries, where only 5 of the 9 dates given coincided with a market reversal within two trading days. If the range was expanded to 5 trading days, then 8 of the nine dates listed were a hit, including both the yearly high of January 15 and low of June 22.

Do you think this time of accuracy would be valuable to traders ? You betcha !

* It is considered a "hit" if the reversal date coincides with a major, half-primary, or primary cycle, or a trading cycle from which prices reverse at least 4% in equity indices and commodities, and 2.5% in Treasuries or currencies.

A NOTE ABOUT MMA'S MARKET REPORT SERVICES

Effective October 15, 2009, MMA's rates on subscription services will be increasing approximately 20% across the board.

             Our MMA 2010 catalogue is now out and available to overseas clients on our web site at www.mmacycles.com, and then under MMA Catalogue, and then under MMA Catalogue (pdf).

             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 identifies "Big 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 that "extra edge." And Silver is a great market to trade now. The cost is $125.00. For ordering on line.

             I have had several calls regarding a “crisis investing” portfolio that I suggested could be developed with the help of a money manager who subscribes to my reports, and shares my views about the next few years. If you are interested, you can contact him at ted.fisher@comcast.net.
He will be more than happy to assist you.
