Market Talk – February 3, 2020

  ASIA: The Chinese central bank said yesterday they are looking to pump in 1.2 trillion yuan (173 bln USD) to support the economy and maintain sufficient liquidity in the market. The shares opened up around 8-9% lower due to the coronavirus. China has built a new hospital with a 1,000 bed facility in the […]

Coronavirus & HIV – The Truth?

The conspiracy network is alive and thriving and the gist of this is that the coronavirus is created in some lab because it has a sequence that is similar to HIV. I have two very good sources and they point out that this claim is MOST LIKELY completely bogus. Why? Because this very same sequence […]

The Dow & the Economic Confidence Model

COMMENT: Marty, I have to laugh. Only those who have followed you more 20 years understand you have discovered the hidden order behind the facade. Fantastic call on this turn in the ECM. Once again to the very day in the Dow. And people do not think your model is real? They must be idiots […]

What Percent of the Population Has the Coronavirus?

QUESTION: Marty, it seems that this virus is turning into a major scaremongering contest to boost ratings for people like CNN. Even if we take 10,000 cases in China with a population of 1.3 billion, the number of people infected is infinitesimal. Most people who get flu symptoms do not go to hospitals. It seems […]

Coronavirus & the Numbers

    There have been a number of questions regarding (1) can we trust the numbers from China, and (2) why recoveries are not higher. First, the US has sent the CDC and the WHO is on top of it. There are cases outside of China and so far they display the same death rate […]

WHO Names this Coronavirus a World Emergency

The Coronavirus has been declared by the World Health Organization (WH) to be an emergency. As I reported yesterday, the death rate may not be as high as SARS which was 10%, but its spread rate is far greater. The number of cases jumped in a day from 7700 to 9682. The WHO defines a […]

Market Talk – January 30, 2020

ASIA: The coronavirus is taking all the headlines today, as the number affected has grown exponentially (standing at 170 deaths) and all states in China are now affected. Our colleagues in China have reported that highways have been closed and the public needs special permission to travel from city to city. There has been a […]

What is the origin of the Coronavirus 2019-nCov?

COMMENT: Hi Martin, I totally agree with you that there is absolutely ZERO evidence to support any conspiracy theories about a “weaponized virus”. But I would like to stress that I still think there is no coincidence that the epicenter occurred in Wuhan where the only Chinese BSL-4 lab exists – a lab that only […]

Coronavirus & the ECM

Many have asked that since this Coronavirus appears to have caught everyone’s attention with the turn in the ECM on January 18th, 2020, the questions have poured in asking if this was a major event given our model had been projecting a rise in disease would begin in 2020 coinciding with the new Solar Cycle […]
