A Very Intense Webinar on Astro-Trades for the Solar Eclipse
By Tim Bost
Saturday, Jul 10, 2010 12:23
"All the participants were hanging on every word you said," the webinar administrator told me after our VIP online session last Friday night on How You Can Survive the July Eclipse and Tap into Profitable in Eclipse-Trade Timing.

"Everybody seemed to be really interested in the trades you were describing, and they were obviously taking a lot of notes on the planetary activations and price levels for each of the stocks you covered."

It had indeed been an intense, jam-packed review of the stock trades coming up after the solar eclipse on July 11-- opportunities for astro-trading profits in the midst of a very challenging market environment.

These were the trades described in the newly-published monograph on "The Solar Eclipse of July 2010: Its Impact on the Markets" (which is available now at http://tinyurl.com/JulyEclipse2010 )-- but there was one big difference. During the webinar session, we went into a very detailed analysis of each of the stocks under consideration, reviewing the astrological picture, looking at the optimum time for every individual trade, determining specific entry points, and examining the planetary price lines that best reveal optimum entry points and stop-loss levels.

Personally I was quite pleasantly surprised by the big turn-out we had for the event. After all, it wasn't really the most convenient time to get together for an intensive study session-- Friday evening is a time when many people have social engagements-- and on top of that there was a fee charged for attending the webinar, which limited the enrollment to traders who are serious about their commitment the profiting from astrology in the markets. So it was great to see that we filled up all the available seats for the event!

Because of the highly confidential nature of the material we covered during the webinar, we decided not to record it for later play-back. I know this was a disappointment to some of our participants (I personally love to download videos and then watch them later at my own convenience), but it was the only way we could be sure that the astro-trading information remained proprietary.

Anyway, it was probably a good thing that we didn't try to record the session, since there were a couple of times when we got interrupted with mysterious audio problems-- feedback and echoes that made it difficult to hear everything that was going on. We got through them all okay, but it just added some extra challenges to contend with.

I have to say, though, that the quality of the analysis and information we shared during the session was really extraordinary. We covered six different trade setups with enough detail that the participants left with specific market signals to look for and astro-trading strategies to use during the coming weeks, setting them up for the maximum possible profits in the post-eclipse trading period.

As we all take these trades and continue to play them out during the next month or so, I think we'll be even more convinced of the huge value that astrology can bring to the markets. And this intense webinar session was the perfect way to kick it off!

One more quick note-- I just got a voicemail message from Michael Yorba of Yorba.TV, who brought me on as a frequent guest on his Commodity Classics show when that program was active. Michael is a big fan of astro-trading, and I was glad that he was able to join the webinar last night.

"Nice show, Tim" he said on this message. "Good job. Audio's always a problem-- just ask me; I know! But anyway it was a really good show."

An Analysis of the July 11 Solar Eclipse
By Tim Bost
Wednesday, Jun 30, 2010 01:34

With the total solar eclipse coming up on July 11, we can expect all kinds of strange and stressful events in the news and in the markets.

I've put together another in my series of intensive research reports on solar eclipses for this event, too. The new monograph is "The Solar Eclipse of July 2010: Its Impact on the Markets". You can get ordering information at http://tinyurl.com/JulyEclipse2010

One of the things I've most pleased with is the track record we've been putting together of successful eclipse-based trades. The new Eclipse Report reviews the latest string of successes, and also suggests trading strategies for half-a-dozen upcoming opportunities based on the July eclipse.

Trading Signals from Oil and Thunder
By Tim Bost
Saturday, Jun 26, 2010 03:42
"Do you smell oil?" Patty wanted to know.

"I'm not sure," I replied. "Sort of, I guess."

"I think I smell oil," she said. "Or at least the water doesn't smell as salty as it usually does?'

I still wasn't certain, but I took her word for it. She has a much better sense of smell than I do, especially when it comes to beaches and fish and the flavors of food. That may not be unique--I think I read somewhere that a woman's sense of smell is about 10,000 times more powerful than a man's. So it's normal if she smells things that I don't.

But I guess it was easier to talk about smelling oil than to worry about how soon we would be seeing it hitting the beaches of Sarasota. As we were talking we were chest-deep in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico off Lido Key, enjoying a late afternoon swim on the eve of the lunar eclipse. The BP oil spill was still a couple hundred miles away, but we both knew that eventually it would be soiling our beloved beaches, so just after Friday's closing bell we had grabbed our bathing suits and headed for the shore.

We were there at low tide, and the currents were starting to shift a bit. Sometimes the waters of the Gulf are smooth as glass, shimmering with a beguiling transparency that lets you see your feet on the sandy bottom as you stand in the warming water. But that wasn't what was going on when Patty said she had started to smell oil. There was a stiff wind and some choppy surf--not the kind of turbulent forcefulness you'll find on an Atlantic beach, but some definite waves nevertheless.

I lost my footing for a moment as the current tugged at me, then my feet found the sand beneath the waves again.

For me, the surf is a constant reminder that what you least expect will probably be what will happen next. But even within the chaos and uncertainty there are always some recognizable patterns, gentle reinforcements of our connection with divinity as it manifests in the rhythmic cycles of nature.

It's really a lot like the markets, I thought.

Much of what it takes for successful trading is the ability to tune in to the ebb and the flow, the currents and the eddies, of the ever-changing action in the markets. You can get a pretty good feel for what to expect in the overall patterns, but the moment-to-moment action brings an infinite capacity for surprises.

If you use astrology in your trading, you also become aware of the ways that the planetary dynamics impact the shifting trends. Just like the Moon moves the tides, the alignments of the Moon, the Sun, and the planets impact the emotions that drive the market action.

If you anticipate the bigger patterns and avoid being ruffled emotionally by the moment-to-moment changes . . . .

My thoughts were interrupted by a rumble of thunder and a jagged flash of lightning across the face of a very black cloud that had suddenly loomed up on the southern horizon.

The gathering storm was a far more immediate threat than the faint smell of oil. It was time to get out of the water.

We got back to our car just before the first big raindrops hit; we were soon in the midst of a downpour.

There are times, I thought, when a drastic change in circumstances trumps all our efforts to understand the ebb and flow of the cycles that create inexorable changes in long-term trend. That's when it's time to get out of the water, at least long enough to tell which way the storm is going.

And, of course, there are times when that happens in the markets, too.

Trading Safely in a Volatile Market
By Tim Bost
Saturday, Jun 05, 2010 06:34
It was a disturbing message, but not an unfamiliar one:

"I think I've miscalculated the best trading strategy for the market right now. I was sure I knew which way the trend was going, so I borrowed a lot of money and bought a lot of options.

"But the market has behaved the way I thought it would, and now my options are about to expire worthless.

"Isn't there anything coming up astrologically that can turn this market around? It looks like I'm going to lose a lot of money, and I can't afford to do that!

"I'm desperate. PLEASE HELP!!!"

I returned the call and talked with the trader. Just a few years experience, in way too deep, and deeply distressed at the impending loss.

We discussed a potential strategy for unwinding the trades in a way that could preserve at least some of the capital, but honestly not too much. The options were way out of the money, the time decay was accelerating, and there were a lot of contracts on the table.

It was certainly an important lesson for the trader, but an expensive one, too.

No matter what the market is doing, the top priority of any astro-trader is capital preservation.

If you lose your capital your trading career is over.

The way to hang on to your capital, of course, is to take small losses fast. Don't look back, take your lumps, and move on to the next trade, making sure you're not risking more than you can afford to lose.

But some traders-- even some experienced ones-- forget that rule.

Markets get volatile, emotions run high, and the opportunities look like they are just too good to miss.

That's when confusion, fear, and greed take over-- and you start to lose money fast.

That's why it's important to know the rules of volatility, leverage, and risk-- I've discussed them in this week's "Astro-Traders' Tip of the Week" at http://www.financialcyclesweekly.com/public/910.cfm .

Take a look!

Benefit from Holiday Trading Plans
By Tim Bost
Friday, May 28, 2010 11:22
Generally speaking, I'm a big fan of holidays.

They provide a great break in the action, a welcome respite from the strains and stresses of everyday activity, whether that stress is generated in the markets or simply in the ebb and flow of the regular opportunities and emergencies that define our daily lives.

As an astro-trader, I personally like to use holiday breaks to step back and get a fresh perspective on my trading, my money management goals, and my longer-term personal objectives involvement with the markets.

My suggestion is that you give holidays some extra attention, too! For some specific ideas, check out the Astro-Traders' Tip of the Week at http://www.financialcyclesweekly.com/public/905.cfm
