COMMENT: Martin – The distaste for and turning-away from status-quo government that you predicted several years ago is showing up in more countries: (Sweden) REPLY: This is a worldwide trend.

Above is a Roman Æ Sestertius (34mm, 22.18 g) of Nerva (AD 96—98), struck at the mint of Rome (97 AD). The reverse reads: “PLEBEI VRB[ANA]E FRVMENTO CONSTITVTO”, and pictures a modius filled with poppy and six grain ears. This demonstrates how society has ALWAYS aided the poor (plebs) for that is part of humanity. Socialism is simply the justification […]

On the monthly level, the DAX has not yet given a long-term sell signal. August indeed produced the Panic Cycle the computer highlighted for August, and we still see September as a target for a turning point. If the DAX can establish a low with the ECM, then it will be in a position to […]

QUESTION: Marty; This is what you explained at the last WEC. The risk of a false move on the yearly level. Correct? ANSWER: Yes, it is always fractal.

Dennis Lockhart, President of Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stuck to his guns late Monday by stating that he still expects the Fed to raise short-term interest rates in the next few months. I have been warning that without higher rates, the Fed is facing a pension crisis because rates have been kept way too low […]

COMMENT:  I carefully read through all your missives you had sent over the weekend, highlighting the importance of Monday for the Dow, and the levels given. You even said “Pay attention now Monday could be the intraday low. The open will be crucial”. And the low so far indeed did occur in the opening few […]

Our models show a gap in the Reversals, which is what you look for in a panic move. We warned, “A closing below 16680 would warn of a drop to the 15500 area.” This was the GAP. So far, the Dow fell to 15370.33 on our target for this week as the Panic Cycle. We ran our […]
