Market Time is Different
|
In my article for Financial Sense of 03/19/2009, “The Number of the Beast”, I showed you how the Danielcode had called for the March 2009 low to be one of some importance in the S&P and other Equity markets. It has certainly caught some attention. The significance of the 666 price number in $SPX was lost on most, and although every week has bought more claims of ownership of that perhaps historic call as the rally has unfolded, only the Danielcode made the call in writing, to hundreds of members, accurate to the day and just 2 ticks. Only the Danielcode publicly issued a special alert to the 24,000 unique monthly visitors to its website that an important turn was to hand.
Many have asked for more insights into how I knew that turn was likely of great importance, and for those I branch with great trepidation into that most arcane of subjects.
I say with great trepidation because “time” even more than “price” seems to stimulate the feeding frenzy of traders, investors and market mavens. Indeed, knowledge of the high probability market turns, in particular for the longer trading cycles will give you all the tea in China or Solomon’s Gold, depending on your innermost desires. Mine is tea.
For investors, pension funds and corporates such knowledge comprises the keys to the kingdom. That few know or understand how to calculate market time despite the plethora of promises that they do, is nicely amplified by almost all being wrong around the 2007 top and the 2009 March low.
And market time is different to our normal concept of time. Had you known how to properly calculate market time your 401(k) would not now be in tatters; major pension and sovereign superannuation funds would not have lost the billions that they have. Gold and Silver Bulls would not have been buying near the March 2008 highs, and currency hedgers would not have stayed short the US Dollar after that date. Indeed Warren Buffett would not have been a buyer of Conoco-Philips near the Crude Oil high of $147 in July 2008.
All of these major turns were foreshadowed by the Danielcode and published by Financial Sense. Knowledge of market time is a vital precursor for successful long term investors. And pretty handy for traders as well.
To preface our exploration of the calculation of market timing, let me say that nothing in my writing is intended to diminish the work of others. Many others too, have dedicated large parts of their life in the search for the twin Grails of trading: price and time. That they are the same thing juxtaposed on different axis is not a new concept. WD Gann, under the tutelage of his mentor, the British astrologer and numerologist “Sepharial” advanced this proposition in 1935.
Sepharial’s letters timing the cotton market and many of the other climatic (floods) and market events in Gann’s prophetic but strangely infantile book “Tunnel through the Air” have some minor similarities to this observation of market timing. But Sepharial camouflaged his observations by claiming that they were related to astrological cycles. Indeed they are, but he scrupulously avoided saying that all of these cycles are of Biblical origin. In so denying the source, both he and Gann missed the next step; the one more thing that brings these time cycles to life.
What do you think the wise men, sages and prophets of Biblical time were looking at on those myriad of long nights as they sat outside their tents? It wasn’t television or the latest mindless reality show on cable, and sadly for those ancients, Rugby had not been invented! Of much greater interest, they observed the stars and the heavens. And they wrote down, sometimes in code and sometimes openly, the great cycles of the heavenly orbs. The Bible records those cycles.
Sepharial used that knowledge but fudged naming the source because it wasn’t cool. And regrettably it’s still not cool today, in a world that worships that other great religion “Science” rather than God. During the past 18 months I have introduced you to, and expounded upon the secret Danielcode price levels created in all markets, from the code found in the Book of Daniel.
Those who seek knowledge will recall that we can forecast the price levels at which markets will turn from the matrix surrounding the numbers contained in this book of prophecy.
