Predicting the Market

It'd be interesting to put all these "foreseer's" skills to the test in the market...if you can predict the future of some event why not of the market? Right?

Right..

Well let's get started then?

I saw a documentary on Discover channel, there was a man who worked as a remote seer for the CIA. He said he and others could predict the market very well, but they did not use the predictions, he said "such power makes one go beyond materialism"
Also Edgar Cayce made thousands of predictions and did not ask for payment.
That is why I think that predicting the market for gain using psy power won't work

It's getting clearer now, yes it's coming in, OH!

I see corn at 3.641/2, yes, beans 7.25 , whats that? OH! Light crude down to 56$, and gold 610.

Everything is fading, I'm losing it, it's gone. Sorry!

I predicted the upturn in metals last year on ATS somewhere.
Sorry you missed it.

It's sweet!!

Martin Armstrong predicted the current economic upheaval to the day...Feb 27, 2007....and it wasn't the first time.

I was up early the morning of the 27th full of anticipation...when I turned on my laptop...there it was.

Nine minute audio dated Feb. 1st outlines the February 27th forecast. Well worth a listen for those that follow markets : www.howestreet.com...


Armstrong on his economic confidence model: www.nowandfutures.com...


And these two pieces discuss Armstrong's initial problems with the law, and his lengthy imprisonment on a contempt charge. Armstrong has always maintained his innocence on the original SEC charges. He claims the real reason he is in prison, is that the government wanted his program, and he resisted.

I never paid attention to Robert Kiyosaki of "Rich Dad...Poor Dad" fame until he stunned his subscribers with his call to sell real estate, and buy Gold & Silver. Until then, we were on opposite sides of the trade so to speak.

Unlike many, he understands the concept, and effect of inflation adjusted dollars, and their result; the current stealth bear market in the DJIA.

Invest in small companies not large ones. They are less noticed in the media.

I would like to point out, that starting April 2 that corn has been trading at my target area.

I'm only 13 cents off my bean mark.

Who's your daddy!

well, there might well be 'seers' of the market,
and i'm surly not one, however my IRA was so disappointing
that i moved lock-stock-&-barrel out of 'Global' allocation in October 2000
and said that the 20+year Bear Market for 'Gold' was over

i look back on my charts & the $5.oo net asset value of the shares of Gold
was at the point that where 'Gold' took off on its 7 year Bull run.

having no extra funds to work with, i also realized in 1998 that 'Oil' at
the $10.oo bbl price was way too low...I tried to get into 'XTO' (Cross Timbers Oil) at $5.oo a share,
but at that exact time, 'XTO' ceased their 'Dividend Reinvestment Program'
and ceased their dividends & made another 3-2 stock split.
[[It took me months to save up the $5oo.oo to start a 'DRP' for 100 shares,
but i should have processed at least one month earlier, if i'd been psychic
that 100 share acct would of been worth something now as there have been a series of splits since after 1997; 3-2, 4-3, 5-4, 4-3. with XTO at $57.oo at this date of friday 13th April 2007]]


but that's all forward looking from a past date...what's going on in the forward looking arena right now?
+Organic food & producers
+entertainment, including gambling, video games, ultimate fighting
+the WOT will become secondary to Global warming/environment/climate change
+surveillence providers, private security & personal protection
+Golf will go feet up with the absence of mr. T Woods

~i'd keep tobacco stock
~i'd keep DOW chemical
~i'd keep the salty snack/biscuit stock

then i'd listen & read others forcasts about the market, daily, or at least weekly
