PARALLELS WITH 1994 - 4/2

INEFFICIENT MARKET HYPOTHESIS - 3/31

    The  stock market fell about a percent today to just above 6850 on 
the  DJIA.  Since  February  18th/19th,  when  the DJIA peaked about a 
percent above the psychologically important 7000  mark,  the  Dow  has 
fallen  three  percent.  The  Nasdaq Composite,  which peaked near the 
1400 mark on January 23rd, has fallen seven percent.  
    As was explained in articles at the  time  of  the  top  in  stock 
prices from late-January to mid-February,  the proper "astroharmonics" 
occurred during that period for one  of  the  most  important  turning 
points  in  stock  market  history (see http://www.gaiamind.org ).  On 
January 23rd, when the Nasdaq Composite peaked, there was a full moon, 
"Star of David" planetary alignment .  This  was  followed  by  a  new 
moon,  seven  planet  alignment  on  February 6th/7th.  Then,  between 
February 13th and 19th,  there was a harmonic convergence  of  planets 
similar  to  the Harmonic Convergence in August of 1987 that coincided 
with the stock market top before that year's crash.  
    The peak in stock prices  was  accurately  forecast  by  the  most 
renown financial astrologer,  Arch Crawford,  who told his subscribers 
to go 200% short the stock market for both the intermediate and  long-
term  at  the close on February 18th- right when the DJIA peaked.  Mr.  
Crawford's perspective was made clear in a Network News  article  post 
well before the top:

       Astrologer/Technician  Arch Crawford will be interviewed by 
    Mark Haines on CNBC Squawkbox at 7:40 E.S.T. Tuesday, Feb 4.  
       CRAWFORD PERSPECTIVES has for  some  time  been  predicting 
    that  the Bull Market will END Mid-February (13-19) coincident 
    with a major planetary configuration taking  place  over  that 
    period,  making  that  time  frame comparable to the "Harmonic 
    Convergence" which topped the market  on  August  24th,  1987, 
    prior to the market CRASH of that year.  
       Last  week  on  "Squawkbox",  Mark  Hulbert  mentioned that 
    CRAWFORD PERSPECTIVES was one of only  THREE  (of  60-80)  top 
    newsletters that had beaten the market averages since 1990.  
       Hulbert's  Digest  of last September said that CRAWFORD had 
    beaten the BUY-and-HOLD strategy by 39.1% over the last 5 year 
    period  (thru  Aug,   '96).   That  was  measured  with   risk 
    adjustment  against the Wilshire 5000 Total Return Index,  one 
    of the broadest averages generally available.  
       This amazing record was compiled  strictly  through  MARKET 
    TIMING   by  his  unique  Astronomic  Cycles  backed  up  with 
    Technical Market Analysis.  

    As is explained in the Grand Supercycle peak article posted on the 
Stock Market Update page,  the recent peak in the stock market with an 
alignment of planets might be the  most  important  turning  point  in 
stock  market  history.  Specifically,  we  may  have  just  passed an 
"Elliott Wave Grand Supercycle" peak in stock prices (the Elliott Wave 
Principle was popularized by Robert Prechter during  the  1980's).  If 
so, the largest crash in history should be at hand.  
    If a major crash is going to occur,  then we might now be entering 
the  period  during which it will be triggered.  There are two reasons 
why.   First  off,  seasonally  we  are  starting  to  move  into  the 
transitive  spring  period  during  which,  like  the trasitive "fall" 
season,  there is a tendency for major social panics and lows in  mass 
mood  to  occur.  More  importantly,  however,  we  are  approaching a 
solar/lunar eclipse pair on March 8th and  March  23rd,  respectively.  
Solar  and  lunar  eclipses following planetary alignment stock market 
peaks tend to mark trigger points for crashes.  
    Two good examples of eclipse triggers to market  crashes  occurred 
in  September/October  of 1987 and July/August of 1990.  Following the 
stock market top with the Harmonic  Convergence  in  August  of  1987, 
there  was  a  solar  eclipse on September 23rd and a lunar eclipse on 
October 7th.  While stock prices started to break prior to the eclipse 
pair,  exactly with the lunar  eclipse  the  stock  market  entered  a 
thirteen  day,  35 percent  collapse into Black Monday,  October 19th, 
1987.  Similarly,  following a stock market peak at  almost  precisely 
3000  (two consecutive closing highs at 2999.75) on July 16th and 17th 
of 1990 with a six-planet alignment,  there was a solar/lunar  eclipse 
pair on July 22nd and August 6th, respectively.  During the final hour 
and  first  hour  of  stock  market trading before and after the solar 
eclipse (it occurred during the weekend)  stock  prices  plunged  five 
percent.  Then,  just  prior  to  the  lunar  eclipse in August,  Iraq 
invaded Kuwait precipitating a sharp drop in  stock  prices  into  the 
"fall" of 1990.  
    If the pattern concerning eclipse triggers of stock market crashes 
is  going  to repeat here,  then,  in the wake of the recent planetary 
alignment top in stock prices just above the psychologically important 
7000 mark in the DJIA,  a crash should be triggered in the vicinity of 
the  solar/lunar eclipse pair between March 8th and March 23rd.  Given 
that  the  top  just reached is likely of Grand Supercycle scale,  the 
crash that might soon be triggered could  be  the  worst  in  history.  
Indeed,  as  in  1990,  the  trigger  could involve some sort of world 
crisis or crises that greatly upsets investors' expectations  and,  in 
turn, causes stock prices to collapse (Korea?).
