THE
MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
(Part16 of Series)
by Dr. Stephen
Rinehart
April 11, 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 S&P 500 (Weekly) Index and its
implications far into the cloudy future. It is expected that the
second half of 2005 (See Part XV) will be rough going for the
NYSE Composite Index with another (lower) top forming in
June/July 2005 (suggesting political/military events may begin
to unfold rapidly in the Mid-East this coming fall). It looks
much the same for the S&P 500 Weekly Index (database back to
1950). This time we look at the possible route the Stagecoach
will be taking over the next
ten years (…yeah right!?). Of course, the route is subject
to change without prior notice (and generally not for the better
Sunshine) so stay tuned to this AM broadcasting channel for
upcoming events as we track the Stagecoach’s progress with our
GPS. The next ten years – you are not going to believe - even
if Dow was to come back and tell you!?
The Old Bull Market Rumor
(Never Stay Long in a Secular Bear Market):
Charts 1 - 3
show the updated Magnificent Longwave (Weekly) Cycles riding
thru the S&P 500 Index today and far into the future. The
filter sum of various weekly cycles is also shown in Chart
4. Chart 1 shows
the updated and predicted longwave weekly cycles for the S&P
500 Index thru 2007. It shows several of the major cycles have
already peaked (233,331-weekly cycles, also called four-year and
six-year cycles). However, the major cycles that are now peaking
will be followed next year by the big dog (449-week cycle)
peaking and taking down the S&P 500 Index thru mid -2007. At
this time next year, all will know that the “aging bull market
rally” is really over and that the secular bear is alive and
is feeding on the S&P 500 Index. This chart also suggests
some type of “political or financial” crisis or event
occurring in April/May 2005 or Oct 2005 which may trigger a
sharp sell-off. Chart 2
shows the dominant 233-week cycle accelerating downward
(crossing the x-axis, point of maximum
downward acceleration in Oct 2005) off a market bottom in
July 2005 (doomed to failure summer rally) as the major longwave
weekly cycles are headed down. The S&P 500 Index may have
already made its high on the year (US Dollar weighted) but there
will be another attempted summer rally. Chart
3 shows the initial bottom forming in Feb 2007 following a
possible major bear rally beginning in mid- 2007 thru Jan 2008.
However, after a major S&P 500 Index top forms in early
2008, the S&P 500 Index is predicted to suffer a dangerous
decline again (5th wave down?) into 2010. Overall
2005 is going to be an exciting year for bear watchers (roller
coaster going mostly down after September 2005) – and for all
you secular bear watchers, we have scheduled the next regular
feeding for Oct 2005. Also, the badgers and prairie dogs are
continuing to get soaked from ongoing flood of erroneous
financial information worldwide as they watch for the coming
Financial Storm. What you gonna do when the Badger comes after
you - retire? After the Badger comes the Grizzly, and after the
Grizzly comes the......
The Last Stagecoach out of US (Sept 2012?):
Chart 4
shows the predicted S&P 500 Weekly Index (detrended)
predicted from 2005 thru 2015. The secular bear feeding is about
to continue in earnest as the bear is coming back from its 2000
nap. The next two years are going to be rough and be prepared to
stay away from this bear for the next five years (July 2010)
except for bear rally in mid-2007. After that, we may have the
largest rally in the history of the NYSE coming from mid-2010
thru 2012 (huge topping formation thru 2014)? 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 (eventually along with privatized Social Security
account money – watch and see a huge double top form in
2012-2013 caused by this set-up). It has all the earmarks of
becoming the greatest S&P 500 Index market rally of all time
(make plans early to be there - it is going to be wild!). After
these large cycles again turn downward 2013-2016, they will
bring down the NYSE, S&P 500 Index, Nikkei, HIS, CAC40,
MIBTEL, SSMI, FTSE, all points South. The
period from (2013-2017) could become a six-sigma event which may
wipe-out 70%+ of the S&P 500 Index gains from its top in
2012. These events will eventually lead to the US Dollar
ceasing to be a worldwide currency and it suggests global
resource “wars” will start to drastically change the
financial landscape unless Mother Nature or “dominoes”
derivatives trading decides to do it first. My what large teeth
you have for a Badger – funny I thought Badgers were much
smaller creatures!? Please do not feed the Secular Bear!
Large Weekly “ Cycle”:
Chart 5 presents
a speculation of the largest weekly cycle in the S&P 500
Index (the 1800-week cycle or 36-Year Cycle. I did not find
anything larger but this dataset does not go far enough back to
resolve this issue for S&P 500 Index. This is possibly one
of the rare sightings of such a creature (if it truly exists).
The cycle amplitude has been growing since 1950 (actually since
1900s in DJIA). The cycle is now starting to accelerate
downwards and will bottom in 2018 (?) and the same cycle is in
the NYSE Composite Index. It was not included in the predictions
but if it exists, it could be a party-killer in 2012. The bottom
of such cycles maybe associated with wars and depressions
(2020-2021?) – called K Waves.
