THE
MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
(Part 15 of Series)
by Dr. Stephen
Rinehart
March 1, 2005
Background:
The
Magnificent Seven is a chronicle about the adventures of
Longwave Cycles who rode onto the “western scene” many
decades ago (would that be in 1913 in the US?). In this episode,
we look at an update of the NYSE (Weekly) Composite Index. In
October 2004 (see Part
XII), a major rally was predicted going into an
initial top (in Nov/Dec 2004). This rally is continuing to
unfold – somewhat stronger than expected (thanks to the Asian
Banks). From a cycle standpoint, it is now predicted the market
is forming a double top which will be followed by a downward
trend in the NYSE. It is expected that the second half of 2005
will be rough going for the NYSE Composite Index with a another
(lower) top forming in June/July 2005 (suggesting political
events begin to unfold in the MidEast this summer as inflation
in commodities continues to plague world markets).
The
Old Bull Market Rumor (Never finished out of the money in a year
ending in X5 – wait until 2005?):
Charts
1 - 3 show
the updated Magnificent Longwave (Weekly) Cycles riding thru the
NYSE today and into the future. The filter sum of sixteen weekly
cycles is shown on each of the attached charts.
Chart 1 shows the updated predicted waveform for the NYSE
Composite Index thru 2005. A second (but lower) top is being
predicted for June/July 2005 (War with Iran?). This top will be
chaotic and may or may not be higher than current top in
Feb/March 2005. The “topping formation” ongoing in the NYSE
is probably the formation of a “right shoulder of a ten-year
formation” in the NYSE Composite Index. After the second top
in July 2005 the trend definitely becomes downward
in the NYSE Composite Index (for next two years to come
2006-2007). This chart also suggests some type of “political
or financial” crisis or event occurring in March/April 2005
which may trigger a sharp sell-off. Chart 2 shows a possible bear rally attempt in the NYSE in July 2006
off a market bottom (doomed to failure) as the major longwave
weekly cycles are headed down with the dollar (no real bull
market but the hype should be good). There is a possible sharp
but short term rally in late 2005 (off market low) into April
2006. There is currently predicted another sharp drop in the
NYSE from April 2006 thru July 2006. The net result is either
another secular bear wave down or possible sideways trading
market (net for the year). Chart
3 shows a sideways trading market in early 2007 following a
possible major bear rally in mid-late 2006 thru early 2007.
However, after a major NYSE top forms in early 2007, the NYSE is
predicted to suffer a dangerous decline again (4th
wave down?) into 2008. This
is currently predicted to be the most significant downside move
(2007-2008) in the NYSE in period from 2002 thru 2009. This
may coincide with a major rally in foodstuff commodity prices as
corn and soybeans (possible China food shortages) become in
short supply due to “famine cycle” (2007-2009) and gold
becomes a financial asset again to the investing public (it be
way too late in the day to get into gold after bottom in 2006
– should already be slowly investing in precious metals).
Overall 2005 is going to be an exciting (roller coaster) year
– and for you secular bears we have continuing natural
disasters. More money than ever being printed and grizzly-type
debts. Also, the prairie dogs are getting soaked from ongoing
floods worldwide as they watch for the coming Financial Storm.
The
Last Stagecoach out of US (2013):
Chart
4 shows the
actual 800-week cycle in NYSE Weekly Composite Index from 1958
as it continues to grow in amplitude (this cycle is a growing
instability in the NYSE whose amplitude directly correlates with
huge credit expansion in US in last 25 years). It is predicted
this cycle will bottom in 2009 (taking the market down thru
2008) and this will “mark an end to the current secular bear
market – or so we will think”. If this cycle continues along
its current trajectory, the 401 (k) and savings of the Baby
Boomers will pour into the worldwide market from 2009-2013
(along with privatized Social Security account money – watch
and see a huge double top form in 2012-2013) causing the
greatest NYSE market rally of all time (it is going to be
wild!). After this cycle turns, it will bring down the NYSE thru
2013-2018. It may wipe-out 50%+ of the NYSE gains in the
following subsequent years from 2013-2018. Asian stocks and
bonds may come into vogue after 2012 (following a Chinese
Recession). These events will eventually lead to the US Dollar
ceasing to be a worldwide currency and global resource
“wars” will have drastically changed the financial landscape
unless Mother Nature or “dominoes” derivatives trading
decides to do it first.
Large
Weekly “ Cycle”:
Chart
5 presents
one of the largest current cycles in the NYSE Composite Index
(the 150-week cycle) which appeared in 1979. The cycle amplitude
has been growing since 1987. The cycle is now starting to
accelerate downwards and will bottom in March 2006 and
eventually lead another significant rally in the NYSE into a top
in 2007. This cycle will start to take the NYSE down in 2007
thru 2008 (but not before we hype China’s growth and
investment opportunities leading into 2008 Olympics) setting up
a major rally in the NYSE
in 2009 There is a significant situation developing in the
NYSE in 2008 in which a majority of the major long-wave cycles
will be heading downwards leading to a final NYSE market bottom
in early 2009.
