CNBC is correctly asking: Now what?
Market condition: Phase 2 (An upward swing following a consolidation), at least initially. Bernanke's QE2
triggers rise in markets, decline in US$.
Question: Will Dems settle tax rates for 2011, during 'lame duck' session? If not, will incoming Congress
roll them back?
One thing for sure: Repeal Obamacare vote will be scheduled to show America where each member of Congress
stands.
In the Senate, 12 Democratic Senators up for re-election in 2012 are from states that went Republican. How
comfortable are they?
The fight is not over.
Countdown till 2012 elections: 104 weeks.
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?
11/6 Saturday - New Moon (Observe Friday & Monday market activity).
11/21 Sunday - Full Moon (Observe Friday & Monday market activity).
