Killing Stress
Continuation from last week…….
This is a perfect illustration of transforming negative energies that you might have within yourself into something positive. Unfortunately, since most people move though their days in an unconscious fashion, for most this ability remains dormant. It has to be developed in order to become full available.
For instance, let’s for a second assume that Mary, a single mother of two, has a fairly stressful job as a 911 operator in Los Angeles. By definition her job is full of STRESS. She deals with constant emergencies, violence, deaths, and people at their worst. On top of that her boss is about as bad as it gets, making her life at work an absolute nightmare. Sadly, Mary’s problems don’t end there. She can barely make ends meet every month and her two boys are trouble makers at school. In fact, not a week goes by where she doesn’t skip a meal or get a call from the schools principal. In other words, Mary’s life is a definition of STRESS.
Just last night Mary’s boss went off on her again and threatened her job. Mary is so stressed and fearful of possibly losing her job that she can barely sleep at night. That’s all she thinks about. What will she do if she losses her job, how will she be able to afford the rent, how will she pay her bills and be able to afford groceries at the same time, will she have to move back to Maine to live with her elderly parents, etc… What’s more, the thoughts above created a number of downward spirals in Mary, leading her to believe that she is an absolute failure.
Internally, Mary’s own thoughts, feelings and emotions grabbed a hold of her internal energy reservoir and converted ALL of it potentiality into pure STRESS. Mary’s entire being now vibrates at STRESS frequency, Mary is STRESS. Her life is a living hell. Sadly, that is exactly how most people live life to one degree or another. People are unaware of their internal interworking as they spend most of their lives asleep at the switch. A walking, talking, eating and procreating Zombie with a massive ego would be a more appropriate description of how most people go though their entire lives.
Yet, all Mary need to do in order to rectify her situation is to become self aware. As soon as she does and as was suggested earlier in the book, she will gain the ability not only to control her energies, but to transform them into something positive.
As Mary’s STRESS energies reach their pinnacle she should shift into the state of medication and self awareness. It would extremely helpful if Mary performs Exercise #1 right away and begins to observe her own thoughts, feelings, emotions and energies as an outsider looking in. By doing so she will gain the ability to understand where her STRESS and misery are coming from. Further, by dissociation from such energies she will be able to A. Control them and B. Transform them into something positive.
Control:
As Mary becomes a third point of reference (outsider looking in) she will be able to understand and control her internal energies. For example, she will understand that the STRESS she is dealing with is not real. It is fragment of her imagination and future projections. A fragment that her mind took and then spiraled it into an absolute hell though a series of thoughts, feelings and emotions that have no roots in the real word.

The Future Of Nasdaq
Continuation from yesterday….(The Secret Behind Timing 2007 Market Top)
That brings us to today. Between March of 2009 and September of 2014 the Nasdaq ran up from 1,200 to about 4,500. Exhibiting all of the signs typically associated with a 5-year cycle. Particularly, the market surged higher for 2 years (2009-2011), rested for one year (2011) and then resumed its surge higher for the next 2 years (2012-2014). This is a typical internal composition of a 5-year cycle.
The only deviation of the cycle thus far is its longevity. As was suggested earlier in the book, 5-year cycles are typically exact, lasting no longer than 5 years +/- 2 months. As of this writing the 2009-2014 cycle has been in development for more than 5.5 years. While unusual, it is not unheard of. For instance, the 1924-1929 5-year cycle lasted 5.5 years as well, leading right into the 1929 stock market crash.
What’s more, many market participants have come to a conclusion that a bear market that started in 2000 has completed itself at the bottom in March of 2009 and that we are now in a full blown secular bull market. Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. Since the stock market first started trading in May of 1790 not a single bear lasted 9 years. Once again, a 17-18 year alternating bear/bull cycle is always present. Plus, given today’s extreme overvaluation/speculation levels and macroeconomic issues, it is evident that the stock market is set for some sort of a decline. Finally and as was mentioned earlier, all secular bear markets tend to complete themselves with a final 2-3 year bear market leg.
This sort of an arrangement gives us a perfect opportunity to illustrate how one should prepare for a bear market by selling at the top and going short. Given the setup above an analyst following the market and following the “Buy Low, Sell High, Go Short & Cover” investment strategy would be watching the market with extreme caution. Ready to sell his net long position and to go short at a moment’s notice.
What would justify such a move? If the Nasdaq breaks below its lower low and continues lower. That would be a first sign that the market has changed gears and shifted into a multiyear bear market.
Trade #6 (Anticipated): Exit your long position at 4,300 and go short. Anticipated move gain 2,950 points. Anticipated net realized gain up to date 12,780 or 1,675%.

Robert Shiller Thinks Stocks & Real Estate Are Overpriced
9/30/2014 – A down day with the Dow Jones down 28 points (0.16%) and the Nasdaq down 12 point (0.28%).
While Robert Shiller is too smart to argue with CNBC talking heads about how overvalued both the stock and real estate markets are, you have got to read between the lines. Particularly, when he says things such as “The stock market is overpriced, bubble city, due for a correction, etc…”.
If he wasn’t trying to be so “politically correct”, he would simply say that both markets are due for a massive corrections. Thus far, my real estate prediction is playing out exactly as predicted….although a little bit slower Real Estate Collapse 2.0 Why, How & When
This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2014-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.

The Secret Behind Timing 2007 Market Top
Continuation from yesterday…….What You Ought To Know About Shorting Nasdaq In March Of 2000
This simple strategy would have allowed investors to cover their short positions and go long shortly after the bottom was reached.
Trade #3: Cover your short position at 1,350 in October of 2002 and go long. Move realized gain 3,400. Net realized gain up to date 7,430 or 931%.
What followed was a 5 year bull market represented by an exact 5 year cycle. Lasting between October 10th, 2002 and October 11th, 2007. Once again, any analyst familiar with the work above would have known two things. First, once the five year cycle was over the market was likely to start its next bear leg down. Second, this bear leg would represent a “Mid-Cycle Panic” discussed earlier or the fastest moving decline of the entire 2000-2017 bear market.
In other words, such an analyst should have been looking for a market reversal as soon as October of 2007. Ready to liquidate his or her long position and to go short. Such a confirmation arrived in early January of 2008 when the Nasdaq broke below both its lower low and a rising trend line. Once the confirmation was received a long position should have been liquidated and a short position should have been established.
Trade #4: Exit your long position at 2,550 in January of 2008 and go short at the same time. Move realized gain 1,200. Net realized gain up to date 8,630 or 1,100%.
As expected, the market proceeded to collapse between October of 2007 and March of 2009. When the mid cycle panic ended most indices had lost in excess of 50%. The Nasdaq bottomed on March 9th at 1,265. An analyst familiar with the cyclical composition of the market would have known that “Mid-Cycle Panics” do not last longer than two years. In addition, given the extent of the decline on the Dow and due to a number of powerful cycles arriving in early March of 2009, it would have been a good guess that the market was about to bottom. As such, a bottom of some sort should have been anticipated in the first half of 2009.
The first signs of a reversal occurred in late March and early April of 2009 when the Nasdaq both broke above a down slopping trend line and set a higher high. Suggesting a trend reversal. A short position should have been covered at the time and a log position should have been established.
Trade #5: Cover your short position at 1,350 in April of 2009 and go long at the same time. Move realized gain 1,200. Net realized gain up to date 9,830 or 1,265%.

Warren Buffett Is Getting Out….Crash Coming?
9/29/2014 – A down day with the Dow Jones down 42 points (-0.25%) and the Nasdaq down 6 points (-0.14%).
A number of important articles below that I hope illustrate to you exactly where we are and what’s coming up next.
If you would be interested in having a good laugh at the expense of mainstream financial media who wouldn’t be able to analyze a dishwasher lease if it hit them in the face, let alone tell you what’s going on in the stock market….take a look.
Nice try, but there is one big problem. At previous market tops in 2000 and 2007 both Greenspan and Bernanke had the ability to not only to cut interest rates from a relatively high base, but to introduce QE. Jannet Yellen doesn’t have any ammunition left with interest rates at net ZERO and QE still pumping. In other words, once a bear market of 2014-2017 kicks into high gear Janet Yellen is f$#*ed.
As the article indicates, a number of Billionaires, including Warren Buffett, are dumping some serious stock. The question is……why? What most people don’t realize about Warren Buffett is that he has impeccable timing abilities. In fact, its one thing that most WB experts miss in their analysis. To become a Billionaire you got to have perfect timing and I think Mr. Buffett is right on time….again.
I hope you can put 2 and 2 together?
This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2014-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.

What You Ought To Know About Shorting Nasdaq In March Of 2000
Continuation from Friday….. (How You Could Have Made A Fortune Shorting The Nasdaq)
That is exactly what happened in early March of 2000. The Nasdaq topped out at around 5,050, declined slightly into the middle of March before bouncing up into a perfect bearish setup by March 24th. An analyst familiar with the cyclical work above would have been aware that if the March bottom of 4,800 was to be penetrated on the downside a bear leg and a possible crash would be in the cards.
As soon as such confirmation was realized, all investors following the “Buy Low, Sell High, Go Short & Cover” investment strategy should have exited their net long Nasdaq positions and reversed their portfolios to net short. Immediately. And indeed, the confirmation was received by the end of March when the Nasdaq broke below its March 17th bottom of 4,800.
Trade #2: Exit long position at 4,750. Reverse course and go short at the same price. Net realized gain up to date 4,030 points or 560%.
As soon as March low was broken on the downside the Nasdaq quickly collapsed by more than 30%, reaching its intermediary bottom by the end of May. Yet, investors familiar with the overall cyclical composition of the market would have been aware that bear market legs do not last 60 days. They would have been aware that this collapse was just the start of a prolonged bear market cycle.
Furthermore, they would have been aware that initial bear market legs tend to last 2-3 years as all previous bear markets had initiated with such prolonged declines. For example, 1900 top to 1903 bottom, 1929 top to 1932 bottom and 1966 top to 1970 bottom. The Nasdaq continued to decline until it reached its bottom of 1,108 on October 10th, 2002. An 80% decline.
By the time October 2002 bottom was reached, analysts familiar with the cyclical work above should have been, once again, on a heightened state of alert. This time around they would have been anticipating and looking for a market bottom. Ready to cover their short positions and to go long at a moment’s notice. Such a confirmation was obtained when the market broke above its down trending trend line in October of 2002.

Why A 1,000 Point Down Day Will Spell Armageddon
Weekly Update & Summary: September 27th, 2014
A negative week with the Dow Jones down 168 points (-0.97%) and the Nasdaq down 68 points (-1.48%). During the week, the Dow left a number of up gaps behind. With the highest one being at 17,283, suggesting a short-term bounce. With that said, the Dow continues to maintain a number of down gaps leading all the way down to August 7th low and a large gap from August 18th at around 16,650. Suggesting an eventual correction.
And that’s just the beginning. The market continues to have two large gaps down from April 14th/16th and a number of smaller gaps leading all the way back to February 5th low. I continue to believe that the Dow will close such gaps when the next bear leg develops at below mentioned time frames (please see mathematical analysis & timing section below).
Friday’s Update:
The market had a fairly strong rebound following yesterday’s bloodbath. What’s interesting is that everyone is still trying to figure what might have caused the decline. Cashin: What could be behind the selloff. Theories are abound and range from bending iPhones to some hedge fund liquidating a large position, from illiquidity in credit markets to Russia getting ready to freeze out the EU bureaucrats this winter. I would pay to see the last one.
Yet, all of that is irrelevant BS when it comes to financial markets and what had caused yesterday’s slide. Here is what you should consider instead.
First, the Dow declined a miserly 250 points and most in financial media lost their shit. Literally. I can only imagine what will happen if the Dow has a bear market day and loses 1,000 points or so. Armageddon? And while this might seem trivial, it is not. This gives you a psychological setup of most investors. In other words, once the market really begins to move down, given today’s psychological makeup, most investors will freak out. Leading to a possible panic and/or a crash.
Second, no one will ring the bell at the top. Most of the conversations focused on why today’s environment is not indicative of a market top and why the market still has some time run. Again, everyone is missing the point. By the time everyone realizes a bear market is in play we will already be down 10-20% or it will be too late to avoid losses.
Just look at 2000 and 2007 tops. Maybe I am suffering from amnesia, but I don’t recall neither Greenspan nor Bernanke holding a press conference and announcing that a bear market was about to start. On the contrary, they were hyping up how great the economy was. It wasn’t until the market was down 20-25% that everyone realized what was happening. As always, it was too late to do anything.
The upcoming bear market will present itself in a very same fashion. In short, anyone who is trying to identify the market top based on various fundamental reasons is playing a fools game.
This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2014-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.
