The Infamous Labor Day Event in Markets

September 6, 2016

Of course, the 1929 high took place on September 3rd, the day everyone came back on Tuesday following the summer holidays. It has been a long-standing joke that after spending time with the family, they come back and just sell everything without reason. The 1987 high was on August 25th just before Labor Day. In […]

August 25, 2016

Historically, crops fail during periods when the weather turns sharply colder. Rising food shortages coincide with rising aggression. This seems to be a link back into ancient times.

The Panic of 1683 Was the First

August 14, 2016

This is the list of panics I discovered in the library at Princeton University. I simply added the period of 224 years from 1683 to 1907 which yield 8.615 as the common frequency dividing that period by the 26 events. I did not expect this to produce events to the day. The mere fact that […]

Question About Time

July 7, 2016

QUESTION: Dear Martin,  I have been following your projection of numbers and time, which is a serious tool to use as guidance. The question that keeps coming up is why are these numbers so important with weeks, months, quarters and years closings that can forecast the coming trend?  Everything in the normal world wouldn’t pay […]
