well, one of the long time 'astrological barometers' for stock markets is the Bradley Siderograph ...
"The Bradley siderograph was developed in the 40ies by Donald Bradley to forecast the stock markets (link book). Bradley assigned numerical values to certain planetary constellations for every day, and the sum is the siderograph. It was originally intended to predict the stock markets. The noted technical analyst William Eng singled out the Bradley model as the only 'excellent' Timing Indicator in his book, "Technical Analysis of Stocks, Options, and Futures" "
as you can see, the most important Bradley Turn Date for the year is due to occur on or about October 17th ... with a typical time window of plus or minus 4 days. This clearly corroborates your rumor mill news.
as to a possible reason, here's just the latest ...
"The CIA warns several European countries of possible al Qaeda attacks which may include Paris “waste water system” as target
October 5, 2007, 4:48 PM (GMT+02:00)
A French official told AP Thursday that the warning referred to al Qaeda agents possible planning suicide or bombing attacks in London and cities in Italy, France and Germany.
Le Monde reported that the CIA had intercepted an e-mail on Sept. 11 addressed to Salah Gasmi, a notorious activist of “al Qaeda in Islamic North Africa,” which is based in Algeria. In Washington, there is deep concern about a potential threat from members of an Islamist cell who escaped arrest in Germany after three senior members were detained in September, foiling a plot to attack US and other targets in Germany. Up to 10 others are though to have escaped. At least one considered extremely dangerous is now believed to be in Britain. " from
This is like those crapshoot psychics. If they happen to get one guess correct, they won't let the world forget it. But when they are wrong, which is most of the time, its quickly glossed over.
I'm not saying that we won't be correcting again soon, or that we won't go into another politically driven recession. I just don't think its a great idea to try to play the market through guesses. Fundamental analysis, hedging and derivitives, asset allocation, etc....are far more strategic and measurable.
In my line of work, I try not to be too concerned with what happens to the market day in and day out, and neither do most of my clients. The ones that freak get a moderate to moderate-conservative porfolio so they stay off my back.![]()
