You mention the Freemasons, maybe there is a Latin code?

Archetypal images are used to carry messages to the ones that watch for the message.

If you do not know the symbols, the archetypes, the language, then you just see blah blah blah.

The crux of the OP is Jungian Archetypes being projected outwards through human experience.

My only note is don't look for signs as the OP says, you aren't in control, instead you are playing out an archetype, there is only submission when you are a puppet.

Money isn't a system that is a requirement of the cosmos. It keeps certain sub archetypes active through a false sense of need.
Everything would exist without money, nothing really needs it. It's a blip in the program that keeps humans in a loop.

We'll get out of it one day.

Satisfying to see more members jumping on this crazy train.

Its a matter of financial survival.
Increasingly we are seeing our retirement savings only available at market tops, and when those get spread further apart by deeper pullbacks we need some kind of risk management in place to limit losses and take advantage of the lows.
There will be rewards for actively investing VS taking the lazy approach.
Perhaps the bitcoin phenomena was a training exercise for investing?

What week are we on and anyone have a take on that shooting other than it obviously being a tragedy, who the # shoots up a Garlic festival?

Santino William Legan is a strange name but where is the evidence that connects this to the Elite manipulation of our finacial markets?

Come on now. Pay attention. This is the 15th week. Notre Dame fire in the 40th week.

Do you have a stop loss order in place to protect your stock market holdings?

I'm not sure what the best percentage to use will be, I'm averse to losing so I might sell as soon as I lost 1 penny.

And with that order in place I would come home to see that my order had been sold and I had lost the penny plus commission.

On the other hand if I was young I might never sell and just reinvest dividends for 50 years and do pretty well sometime near the end of the 50 years.

I don't have a position in stocks right now. I just don't have the money to play with. I really don't want to tell others what to do. I'm only observing the markets. When trading in the past I have usually gone 100% binary position up or down. No stop loss because I believe traders will run stops short term in order to knock you out of the market and take a bit for themselves. In years past I observed many times a market that would move suddenly against my position, take out stops, and then turn to the other direction and continue in a larger long term movement. The people with deeper information can see where your stops are located and they'll trigger them. That happens a lot I believe.

The way I think about it, the market should ultimately move in the direction the largest most powerful players want it to go. They'll zig and zag the market, but ultimately it goes the way the signal via the 40-week code system. I truly believe the market is headed up until the week of January 19, 2020. It's the sort of thing that will work itself out day by day, making speculators guess and second guess, until it reaches its target. The market is headed higher in my opinion. How to trade the daily moves is anybody's guess.

Remember, the guy with the most stock/cash can literally move the market at will. He can literally bludgeon the market one way or the other. My least favorite guy Jim Cramer even talked about this on day years ago on CNBC. The market can be "steered" without a doubt.

The market is not a "random walk" down Wall Street. It is manipulated by the group orchestrating the 40-week system. It is not affected by everybody's activity. The small guy just takes a position and rides the waves. The big guy makes the waves.

It appears our markets are addicted to low interest rates for their survival.
DJT has been putting a lot of pressure on the Federal Reserve officials to cut rates.
At todays vote two of the Fed officials that believe we should not be cutting rates dissented!

The Fed’s decision to lower short-term borrowing costs drew dissent votes from the leader of the Boston and Kansas City Fed banks. This wasn’t a surprise, as both officials had said in an otherwise strong economy there wasn’t much case for easier rate policy. Their dissents likely represent broader discomfort with the Fed’s decision, as four other regional Fed officials had also expressed concern about lowering rates. The Fed’s policy statement didn’t offer any reason for the dissents Wednesday. In three weeks, the meeting minutes are likely to portray a very active debate.

So this was likely just a cosmetic rate cut that won't happen again unless there is a real recession.
DJT just better hope they don't have to raise rates next year like they did in 2000.

The rate cut is just a nudge in the right direction. I think the knee jerk reaction to the rate cut is designed to allow market makers a chance to cover up and prepare for further upside.

When you are holding a huge pool of shares, you sell above the market to new buyers. Then you offer to buy below the market to create support. The spread is your profit. You do this hundreds or thousands of times a day. New buying ticks the market up, and anybody that wants to sell completes the cycle by allowing the previous sell at the higher asking price to be matched with a buy at the lower bid price. One creates the illusion of support for market prices in this manner.

In 2000 the market stayed within the Bull channel but shed 17% of its value.
Of course late in the year it recovered on par to the previous high.
I agree by January 19th 2020 the market should be higher but how deep will the pullback be?

A 3% trailing stop seems generous to me I lost a penny today, but seriously if you lose 5% without exiting maybe its time to reassess your game plan?

If you lose only 3% on the down side when most people lose 5% you might be a successful investor.

a reply to: Generation9


The decline in the Dow reached 3% today, that is typically more than a years worth of dividends.
Tops are easier but no one has any idea where the bottom is?

a reply to: Slichter

All I can say is this is a buying opportunity. Buy the dips. The market is going higher until the week of January 19th.

a reply to: Generation9

I'm not sure where the bottom is but I sold the top.

I was doing my chart analysis tonight and amongst all the global market carnage there was one small positive flicker.


They say if you close your eyes you can see the music, its true(but I'd probably miss the point).

I'm dedicating this song to the investors in Japan, may the rest of the world share their positive spirit and give them a night to remember.

What was that? 2666x and collapse?

a reply to: Mover3

The Nikkei 225 lost 29% of its value from September 2018 but had struggled back some within a trading range.
Last night they fell back to 20% below the highs, but held right on the edge of the trading range.

The US Dow Jones is trading down 7% from the highs last week which is a healthy correction.
I tend to move too quickly so if I bought in now down 7% I'd be out agin down 7.5% and back in down 9%.
The Chinese Hang Seng is offering a price to earnings ratio of 10 yet it fell 767 points last night?
Hopefully everybody thatcan read these threads got out early so they didn't lose any money.
