December 28, 2008
We can expect a bumpy week ahead for stocks, with a big positive push to finish out the year. Things look a little more tentative for the first trading day of 2009, but the prospects look good for a slightly higher close-a good omen for the rest of the year. . . . keep reading

December 21, 2008
It's time for a year-end relief rally, with the upward bias of the past couple of weeks picking up additional steam. All this flies in the face of the increasingly gloomy economic outlook, of course, but it seems that total negativity has already been discounted by the markets-when everything is in the worst possible state, how many more negative surprises can there be? . . . keep reading

December 14, 2008
With an atmosphere filled with stress, uncertainty, and turbulence, it's nice that we have a few positive astrological factors at work as well this week. Look for another week of volatile trading, with some price consolidation early in the week leading to a mini-rally, followed by a stronger drop and then a stronger rally near the end of the week. . . . keep reading

December 7, 2008
We have a week ahead that promises a heavy dose of volatility, providing big opportunities to agile traders who can stomach big risks. There are signals that a trading bottom is currently forming in the markets, and the trading action in all markets will be testing that premise relentlessly this week. Look for a strong move up in stock prices as the week gets underway, followed by a significant pullback in the middle of the week and an even bigger rally as the Full Moon caps off the trading week on Friday. . . . keep reading

November 30, 2008
After a string of strongly positive trading days, we can expect the markets to emerge from a triptophan-induced daze and start seeing things from a fresh perspective. Look for a little profit-taking and some overall weakness as the week gets underway, yielding promptly to some fairly intense midweek bullishness. The optimism in the markets may start to wane a little bit by week's end, but it's likely to be a positive week for equities nonetheless . . . keep reading

November 23, 2008
After crashing through some significant support levels last week, we continue to confront a situation in the equities markets that is filled with volatility and heavily flavored with uncertainty, in spite of some optimism about the possibilities for a new economic paradigm taking shape with the upcoming change in the U.S. presidential administration. Trade with extreme caution right now, but look for one more surge of bearish sentiment this week to set the stage for higher stock prices as we move into December. . . . keep reading

November 9, 2008
After a substantial sell-off and a quick but partial recovery last week, stocks are poised for an extremely bullish week ahead. The fundamentals couldn't get much worse right now, but if things aren't worse they must be getting better! This is still a bear market rally, however, so a good bit of caution is advisable for anyone actively trading in equities at this time. . . . keep reading

November 2, 2008
With the presidential election at last upon us, a weary market is ready for a fresh perspective. With a Democratic victory already discounted by most market insiders, trading may be far more stable this week than might otherwise be expected, but a chaotic astrological environment could keep traders guessing until things settle down later in the week. . . . keep reading

October 26, 2008
With ongoing fundamental weakness and financial collapse hitting every part of the world, there's not much encouragement on the horizon, and little reason to anticipate equities prices going up any time soon. Even so, the astrology at hand suggests that a weak start to the trading week is likely to be followed by a strong mid-week rally. This is likely to be a very short-term phenomenon if it does materialize, however, so it's definitely not a situation for inexperienced traders to get involved in. . . . keep reading

October 19, 2008
The economy isn't showing much in the way of positive indicators and Ben Shalom Bernanke is unlikely to be very reassuring when he comes to visit Congress on Monday, but there are strong enough astrological factors at work to suggest a positive start to the trading week. By the middle of the week, however, the bears will make it very clear that they're not ready to hibernate yet! . . . keep reading
|
October 12, 2008
With some positive astrological dynamics supporting a coordinated move from central banks around the globe to pump more cash into the banking system, there is plenty to suggest a sharply positive start to the trading week. But with the Full Moon and the Mercury direct station midweek, anything that looks like a rally right now is not to be trusted, at least as far as sustained trending is concerned. . . . keep reading
|
October 5, 2008
There are a couple of astrological indicators this week that ordinarily would be considered positive market signals, but they are operating in an isolated fashion that may prove to weaken them considerably. Even more important, we continue to have massive mistrust, uncertainty, and fundamental weakness in the markets, so this is a time either to step aside altogether or to exercise extreme caution in any active trades. Mercury remains in retrograde motion; remain especially skeptical of market signals, especially "sure thing" set-ups. . . . keep reading

September 28, 2008
The week may get off to a bumpy start as the particulars of the big bailout bill are argued in the halls of congress, but by midweek I'm expecting the bulls to be in charge, at least for a couple of days. This has all the makings of a sucker rally, however, so even though the week may end on a positive note there is plenty of cause for longer-term caution. That's especially true since Mercury remains in retrograde motion for a couple more weeks, bringing lots of opportunity for misinterpretation of market signals. . . . keep reading

September 21
While we may see a bit of the market euphoria that closed last week lingering on Wall Street as the current week gets underway, it's unlikely to hang on very long. The big issue right now is one of trust, and there's a strong likelihood that lingering fundamental concerns will override the prospects for a government-controlled economy. Look for volatile markets, fake-out rallies, and a generally negative bias to the trading week. . . . keep reading
|
September 14, 2008
We have a trading week ahead of us in which we can expect stock prices to move down sharply, thanks to the rapidly expanding financial crisis, which is currently being augmented by pre-election uncertainty, seasonal weakness, and unsupportive planetary dynamics. . . . keep reading
|
September 7, 2008
The astrological factors during the coming week promise some extremely volatile trading, but also slightly favor higher stock prices. This is anything but a bullish scenario, however, and the underlying fundamentals with confirming technical factors are all weak enough to suggest that a major market sell-off is not too far away. . . . keep reading
|
August 31, 2008
Ahead of us we have a week shortened by the Labor Day break and by the anticipated disruptions of Hurricane Gustav, so many traders will be trying desperately to stay in a holiday mood for just a few days longer instead of facing reality. The net result is likely to be a trading week that gets off to a positive if belated start, followed by some tentativeness on Wednesday, a big gain on Thursday, and a sobering drop on Friday. . . . keep reading

August 24, 2008
The week ahead is likely to get off to a sluggish start in the equities markets, and we can expect the congested trading to continue for a day or two, especially if oil prices start to regain some of their former levels. That's likely to happen, but at the same time we can expect to see renewed weakness in the precious metals. Look for stock prices to close out the week on an up note; net gains for the week as a whole are likely. . . . keep reading

August 3, 2008
Once again the key equities indices posted another mildly positive week, but the disappointing performance by the Dow dominated the headlines in the popular press. This week I'm expecting increasing volatility in most trading sessions, with a likelihood of a positive day for equities on Monday, a surprising pull-back on Tuesday, some consolidation on Wednesday and another corrective move on Thursday, followed by a recovery on Friday that brings the market indices back to just about where they started out at the beginning of the week. . . . keep reading

I expect to see a weak start to the week's trading, followed by a number of factors that suggest strengthening bullishness as we move toward the culminating point of Friday's Solar Eclipse. The Model Portfolio remains heavily weighted toward cash at this point, and I'm continuing to watch for both short and long trading opportunities to hedge my short-term bullish expectations for the equities markets. . . . keep reading

July 13, 2008
I'm anticipating a positive week for stock prices, with a solid price surge at the beginning of the week, a pull-back on Thursday, and an up day on Friday to finish out the week. . . . keep reading

July 6, 2008
As I pointed out last week, "once everyone has had a chance to chill out over the July 4 holiday we are likely to see a more positive trend emerge in the stock market, and it will be time for a Last Hurrah from the bulls before we confront a much bigger move to the downside later in the year." That time is upon us, but we may have to wait until near the end of the week for a rally to solidify, since there are some mixed signals and potential fake-outs during the first few days of trading. . . . keep reading

: We have a "week on the brink" ahead of us. The bears are now very much in charge in the equities markets. Even so, the planets are now lining up to create an opportunity for a short-term rally, so there's a teeter-totter effect going on in the minds of many traders. Jumping back in on the long side right now is definitely not for the faint of heart; but once everyone has had a chance to chill out over the July 4 holiday we are likely to see a more positive trend emerge in the stock market, and it will be time for a Last Hurrah from the bulls before we confront a much bigger move to the downside later in the year. . . . keep reading

A Correct Low with Mars and Neptune; Astro-Trading; Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; W. D. Gann
During the week ahead we are likely to see a positive start to trading, with stocks moving higher or at least stopping the hemorrhaging that has been going on in recent sessions. By midweek, however, I'm expecting to see some consolidation in the trading environment, with profit-taking pulling prices back down just long enough to prepare the way for a renewed attempt at a rally as the trading week draws to a close. . . . keep reading

Arabian Oil; Going to Denmark; Norman Vincent Peale; Financial Astrology; W. D. Gann
We are facing a week in which stocks are likely to get off to a disappointing start, with some losses followed by choppy trading and sluggish activity. There's likely to be a push toward a rally as the week comes to an end, but it remains to be seen whether or not that will do enough to pull the week as a whole into positive territory. Mercury is still retrograde for much of the trading week, and with a Full Moon and the Summer Solstice added to the mix, this is not the time to be sticking your neck out too far! . . . keep reading

Bilderberger and the Obama Nomination; W. D. Gann; Caterpillar; Peter Marshall; Stock Market Astrology
The markets are poised for a dramatic move back to the upside following last week's sharp sell-off. But with Mercury still in retrograde motion, it's hard to make accurate trading decisions right now. If you hear about big trading gains right now, remember that they probably involved professional drivers on a closed course. Unless you're determined to pay some high tuition costs for a very sobering market education, it might be better not to try this one at home. Remember that the markets bring an infinite flow of opportunity-there will be plenty of profitable chances later to trade in a more predictable environment. . . . keep reading

May 25, 2008
While the trading week may be a little slow getting going after the Memorial Day holiday, it should start to show some positive strength by mid-week. Thursday is a day that calls for some extra caution, if not a decision to step away from active trading altogether. I'm looking for a very volatile finish to the trading week, however, with plenty of opportunity for unexpected market reversals in the shorter time frames. . . . keep reading

May 18, 2008
It looks like there's another positive week for stock prices ahead of us, with strong action on Monday and Tuesday around the Full Moon and the potential for some profit-taking and a slight pullback on Friday as we move into the Memorial Day weekend. . . . keep reading

May 11, 2008
We have a potentially choppy week in the markets ahead of us, with lots of potential for false signals and fake-outs. My expectation is that we will see rising stock prices overall during the first part of the week, with a sharply lower close on Friday. . . . keep reading

May 04, 2008
It looks like we can expect another positive week ahead for stock prices, in spite of the likelihood of a negative spin as the trading gets underway on Monday. Even with a substantially weaker trading environment at the beginning of the week, an influx of positive energy is likely to turn things around by mid-week, resulting in net gains for equities by week's end. . . . keep reading

April 27, 2008
The week ahead promises to be a very positive one for stocks, with the financial markets continuing their dogged determination to see the glass as half-full rather than half-empty in the hope that there have at last been enough write-downs to allow for more realistic valuations in a post-credit-crunch environment. There's plenty of astrological support this week for bullish expectations in the markets, and the week's actions from the Fed are unlikely to have negative repercussions on Wall Street, especially after so much effort . . . keep reading

April 20, 2008
This is an extremely intense trading week that we are facing, with a good likelihood of strong volatility and stocks running up to fresh highs early in the week in spite of negative economic news and market fundamentals. By the end of the week, however, the stage will be set for a solid move back to the downside. Whether that will unfold dramatically before the week is out, or whether it will emerge more gradually following some sessions of more congested trading near the end of week, remains to be seen. . . . keep reading

April 13, 2008
This trading week should have a bearish bias, especially as trading gets underway on Monday. By midweek, however, the negative market forces will likely be involved in a cosmic tug-of-war that results in choppy and confusing trading. For the most part, it's a good time for all but the most seasoned day traders to step aside and look for some recreational opportunities. . . . keep reading

April 6, 2008
The trading week is likely to get off to a very positive start, but dissipating volatility and mixed signals in the markets are likely to bring some congestion and confusion as the week progresses. Look for net gains in equities by week's end, but with a lot less energy behind the positive push than has recently been in evidence. . . . keep reading

March 30, 2008
There are some solid astrological factors at work this week promoting bullish activity in the stock market, and they should get some help from the latest round of efforts by the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve to settle fears of borrowing and avert financial panic. While the actions of the government probably shouldn't be trusted, and while we are staying extremely cautious in our approach to trading right now, there are nevertheless a few opportunities emerging that are likely to set up profitable trades, so for the time being we can perhaps best be described as reluctantly bullish. . . . keep reading

Mortgage-Backed Securities; Albert Camus; Stock Market Astrology; Willing Suspension of Disbelief
With some strong support from planetary dynamics and a hope-smitten afterglow in the public consciousness, we should see a positive week for stocks. The trading sessions at the start and the end of the week are likely to be quite bullish, but as the week closes it will be especially important not to throw caution to the winds. Even with the likelihood of this rally carrying us into April, there are still plenty of booby traps along the way! . . . keep reading

March 16, 2008
With each new action by the Fed signaling deeper and deeper concern about the economic freefall, there is tremendous negative pressure on the equities markets right now. Trading this week should start off in negative territory, but a positive surge prior to midweek and the magnitude of the Spring Equinox/Full Moon combination at week's end are both likely to contribute to a net gain to the truncated pre-holiday trading picture for stocks. . . . keep reading

March 9, 2008
Horrible fundamentals, a weak technical picture, and mixed signals from the astrological front combine to suggest a week of market turmoil and increasing downward price pressure for stocks. The challenge here is finding clear trading opportunities, even on the short side, in the midst of a choppy and volatile trading environment. . . . keep reading
|
March 2, 2008
With an increasingly bearish scenario unfolding for stocks, I'm nevertheless expecting a week that begins with some positive price energy. While any moves to the upside may be quite modest or may get canceled out altogether by traders' trepidations, anything this week that smells like a serious move into positive territory should be taken seriously as an opportunity to take profits. . . . keep reading

February 24, 2008
The planets are aligned for a very positive week in stocks, but extended periods with the Moon void-of-course on Monday and Wednesday will make it difficult for traders to read market signals correctly. With manipulative forces hard at work behind the scenes, there is a particular need for cautious responses to economic and market data on Wednesday and Thursday. As a whole, this should be a week with some healthy gains in the equities markets. . . . keep reading

Alan Greenspan, Ben Shalom Bernanke, Hank Paulson, Noah ben Shea, W. D. Gann; Astro-Trading
In a trading week shortened by the Presidents Day holiday and punctuated by a Mercury station and a lunar eclipse, we can expect lower prices for stocks. While the downward move may be modest, there's enough underlying uncertainty to make this a situation that calls for extra caution. Short-term traders should take heart, however, since a pullback right now will likely set the stage for higher stock prices during the closing days of February and the first part of March. . . . keep reading
|
February 10, 2008
While stock prices are likely to trend a bit higher as the trading week gets underway, we are likely to see choppiness and confusion prevail by midweek, and even some positive price action in the week's final sessions is unlikely to make much of a dent in the market's overall bearish uncertainty. I'm still looking for solid gains in equities later in the month, however. . . . keep reading
