Halloween Surprise?
Halloween Surprise? Ghosts and goblins abound, Oh My! Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Company (aka Corruptocrats) are
trying their worst to scare the hell out of us. Don't buy it. They're running scared... and they have reason.
CNBC asks if the market is "taking a knee" before the election. Maybe. Maybe not.
It's too early to tell, but many DJ-30 components look a little 'toppy' as of Friday (Full Moon?). One thing
for sure: What the next Congress will look like will be known soon. Order the champagne.
Countdown till November 2nd elections: 8 days.
Heads Up
W. D. Gann, a keen market observer, although not an astronomer, nevertheless, was fascinated by the apparent
coincidence of important market 'pivot points' and astronomical dates. Theories exist for estimating time and
price of important market turning points but astronomical occurrences are computed with mathematical certainty.
There is no logical reason why these occurrences should coincide yet, empirically, they have.
The 'Full Moon' and 'New Moon', among others, have been cited. Therefore, one might be well advised to be aware
of their occurrence. Note: The first 5 business days of 2008 concluded on a 'New Moon' and we all know how that
worked out. Coincidence?
10/7 Thursday - New Moon.
10/22 Friday - Full Moon.
