Let us study a sample market composite to gauge full understanding.  

This chart requires a little bit of explanation in terms of being able to mimic the actual stock market.

1. The chart above represents a sample  market composite over a 5 year period of time.
2. Please note 5 separate cycles located under the green line. Each line of different color represents a different cycle working over that period of time. Note that these cycles vary in amplitude, and most importantly, in spacing. While some cycles are moving up, others are moving down.
3. As these cycles move over time they interact with each other by either diluting each other or by amplifying energy in any particular direction.  For instance, major bull moves on the green line occur when most cycles are pointing up.
4. As you can see from the chart, all of these cycles started at different points in time.
5. The Green Line is the composite cycle of all cycles coming together. It is the summation of all of the moves, either up and down. By combining cycles in such a fashion we come close to mimicking the actual stock market move over that period of time.
6. The chart above is one step removed from getting the exact composite. That is done by multiplying the composite above (green line) by the main trend at the time. When we do that  properly, we end up with an extremely accurate representation of the stock market.

For instance, an analyst working with this composite would know not only the structure of the upcoming market, but the exact turning points and the length/velocity of any upcoming move. When done with precision, the final output of the composite above should mirror the actual market movements with scary accuracy. Of course, the same type of analysis can be applied to individual stocks. Before we can put together an actual real life composite, it is important that we first take a look and study all of the major individual cycles.

Timing The Market & Advanced Cycle Analysis 

Continuation of part 3

The problem with traditional cycle analysis is threefold. First, the use of 2-Dimensional price/time stock market charts to track the cycles. This book makes it clear that the stock market is a much more complex phenomena that moves in at least a 3-Dimensional environment. As such, when the stock market cycle analyst begin to use traditional cycle analysis on a two dimensional chart, they are nearly measuring the shadow of the overall cycle and not the cycle itself.

Second, the cycles are not static, they are dynamic.  They are constantly rotating, adjusting and realigning themselves within the structure of the market.  While it might sound complicated, it is not. It simply means that while the overall cycles remain intact, they constantly change their starting position to realign with the 3-Dimensional structure of the market. As various points of force occur in the market place, these cycles tend to realign themselves to confines of the lattice structure developing in the stock market at the time.

Finally, there are multiple cycles working in the stock market at any given time, ranging from hourly cycles to cycles lasting decades. An analyst performing cycle analysis must be aware of this fact and know which cycle is the predominant one during the period of study.  Doing so would allow the analyst to setup a proper index composite that should mimic and predict the market in great detail. An illustration is a must to cement all 3 points.

Let’s take a look at the  2000 top, 2003 bottom and 2007 top.  Let’s assume that during this time there were 10 different and major stock market cycles moving at the same time, and when combined, represent all major ups and downs of the market. The dates above are the major inflection points in the market. They represent the lattice completion points in the 3-Dimensional environment.  That is precisely the points where the cycles realigned themselves in order to form the new cycle composite.

When the market hit the 2000 top, most cycles that worked prior to that period had stopped working. Instead the cycles realigned themselves at the 2000 top to build a completely new cycle composite going forward. These cycles represented the market between 2000 top and 2003 bottom. Further, these cycles realigned themselves again at the 2003 bottom and 2007 top. That is the primary reason behind why these cycles work for a period of time and then break down to never work again.  Once the inflection points and the cycles are understood, an analyst simply realigns such cycles in a predictable fashion in order to time and predict the market with great precision.

Let’s study a sample market composite to gauge full understanding.

Timing The Stock Market (Part 4)

Continuation of part 2

Now, before we jump headlong into cycle analysis, we must first look at and address three primary cycle issues.

Issue #1: Why do cycles exist in the stock market?

To begin with, everything in nature is cyclical. If we wish to get very technical and look at the fundamental particles we will learn that everything in nature is energy. That energy itself is in the constant state of cyclical movement where the primary difference between various elements and matter is the rate of vibration or oscillation (which in itself is a cycle).

Since everything in nature is cyclical and the stock market itself represents a natural growth spiral, we can safely assume that the stock market is cyclical as well. Yet, it is a little bit more intricate than that. It is not necessarily the stock market that moves in cyclical fashion, but the human psychology that underlines the stock market.  If you study mass human psychology you will soon learn that men go on repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Not only are they incapable of learning from history, but they tend to repeat exactly the same mistakes that their parents and their grandparents had made. .  

When it comes to the stock market and mass human psychology it is very easy to see how people pool their emotions (or mass delusions) together to justify what the stock market is doing. For instance, 2000 and 2007 stock market tops present us with a perfect opportunity to illustrate just that. In both cases it was clearly visible that market participants are suffering from a mass delusion. With the tech stocks selling beyond any reasonable valuation in early 2000 and with the credit/housing market feeding a massive speculative bubble throughout the entire economy in 2007.    

From bottom to growth, from growth to excess, from excess to a decline/collapse. Rinse and repeat. Each one of these cycles servers their purpose, from start to finish. They always had and they always will, for one simple reason. You cannot change the human nature of greed, hope, fear and panic. It will always be within us. The tricky part is identifying these cycles, how long they will last and more importantly, where do they start and end. This section clearly illustrates how to do just that.

Issue #2: Why do some cycles work perfectly fine over a certain period of time only to break down and never work again?  

As mentioned earlier, this issue has caused major headaches for most cycle analyst since the day their craft was born.  At times analysts are able to de-trend various cycles out of the market that, at first glance, work perfectly fine.  In fact, they might work so well that an analyst might get too comfortable with it. The trouble starts when these cycles brake down and stop working. Eventually they all do. Most analyst have been trying to figure out why that happens, thus far without any luck.
