THE BOTTOM LINE: Although the market indices managed to break the losing
streak in daily closes that began the year, last week's performance was
far from encouraging. I'm looking for a positive push to stock prices as
the current week gets underway, with increasing volatility in the
mid-week trading sessions and prices retreating again toward the end of
the trading week.

COMMENT: All eyes will be on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Shalom
Bernanke on Thursday when he testifies before the House Budget Committee
in Washington. With the economy teetering on the brink of recession and
with the limited effectiveness that interest-cutting moves by the Fed
have had in recent months, at least as far as the stock market is
concerned, Dr. Ben is walking a tightrope. He still hasn't demonstrated
the same level of crowd-dazzling showmanship that made his predecessor
so entertaining, but he's being thrust into the center ring
nevertheless. The big challenge here is that at least part of Bernanke's
audience is currently hoping he will fall off the high wire in the midst
of his aerial act, especially since pocketbook issues are increasingly
becoming a focal point in the primary elections.

PUZZLING PUNDITRY
As the campaigning heats up in this election year, we continue to see
just how much uncertainty there is in the realm of politics. There's no
shortage of fodder for the pundits right now and the gossip-worthy
shenanigans have put the likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to shame.

After months of emphasizing her toughness and a brief and clumsy shot at
trying to act like a human being, Hillary Clinton played the emotional
card like the pro she is on the eve of the New Hampshire primary,
welling up with tears in true soap opera style and walking away with a
win that somehow made her look like a come-from-behind long shot instead
of the inevitable frontrunner in the race. The outcome was just
improbable enough to persuade Dennis Kucinich to file a complaint and
pay a $2,000 fee to have the New Hampshire Diebold voting machine
ballots manually recounted.

Along the way, the news media and the pollsters suddenly decided that
racial considerations might just be an issue in Barack Obama's campaign
after all, whereupon John Kerry immediately stepped forward to endorse
Obama's bid for the presidency. It's hard to tell, but Kerry's move may
actually help reduce Obama's popularity in South Carolina a bit,
creating an opening for a surge in that state's Democratic primary by
John Edwards.

Meanwhile, on the Republican side, John McCain actively began to revive
his nearly comatose campaign, Rudy Guliani tried to outmaneuver the Rev.
Mike Huckabee by asking Florida voters for prayers instead of votes, and
Mike Huckabee tried to out-warmonger President Bush by vowing to send
Iran to the gates of Hell. Ron Paul's message of fiscal conservatism and
social liberalism continued to build steady strength in spite of efforts
to declare his campaign non-newsworthy. Mitt Romney apparently concluded
that although spending money can attract lots of attention, it doesn't
necessarily mean that the people who are paying attention to you will
also actually vote for you, too.

With such chaotic posturing going on, the inevitable conclusion is that
the final outcome of this fall's presidential election is far from being
a sure thing. And since Wall Street hates uncertainty more than anything
else, there's ample justification for short-term bearishness in the
markets right now.

INSIGHTS FROM THE PRESIDENT
Of course, it doesn't really take a political brouhaha to justify some
negative expectations in the stock market. Although Dr. Bernanke and
company seem determined to do everything in their power to keep the
market afloat, President Bush himself has apparently just discovered
that the economic situation is less than perfect, which is hardy
encouraging news, given Dubya's nearly perfect track record at tunnel
vision.

ON PAST SUBPRIME
And then there are the banks. While the subprime lending debacle has
certainly shaken U.S. financial institutions to the soles of their feet,
so much nominal wealth has evaporated in the last six months that it
seems quite unlikely that it has yet all been accounted for.

This week's Wall Street Show-and-Tell sessions will certainly be worth
keeping an eye on, even though we may still not be getting the full
story yet. We'll get earning reports from Citigroup (C) on Tuesday; JP
Morgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Northern Trust (NTRS) on
Wednesday; and Merrill Lynch (MER), Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (BK),
BB+T Corporation (BBT), and Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) on Thursday. If
there are bigger write-downs included in these fourth quarter numbers,
we can also expect to see some announcements that fresh capital is on
the way, especially for Citigroup and Merrill Lynch, just to keep things
from quite as bad as they actually are.

GETTING INTO THE MARKET KITCHEN
"Get some water boiling." That's what an experienced chef once told me
about his universal strategy for meal preparation. "Even if you're not
quite sure what you're going to cook, the first thing you should do when
you walk into the kitchen is get some water boiling. You may not have
any idea what you're going to use it for, but the chances are good that
eventually you're going to need that hot water for something as you put
the meal together. I think it's always better to be prepared, and even
if you don't end up using the boiling water, there's no big waste involved."

The situation in the market right now resonates well with that advice.
It may be hard to tell which way the trend will turn on any given
trading day, but we can always get some water boiling, which in the case
of the markets, means that we can always remember our first priority,
which is to preserve our trading capital through wise money management!

THE ECONOMIC CALENDAR
The economic reports we will be watching this week include the Producer
Price Index, Retail Sales, the Empire State Manufacturing Survey,
Business Inventories, ICSC-UBS Store Sales, MBA Purchase Applications,
Treasury International Capital, the Consumer Price Index, Industrial
Production, the Housing Market Index, Housing Starts, the EIA Petroleum
Status Report, the EIA Natural Gas Report, the Philadelphia Fed Survey,
Consumer Sentiment, Leading Indicators, Jobless Claims, and the Money
Supply.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Shalom Bernanke will be in Washington on
Thursday to testify before the House Budget Committee, and we can expect
his views to get ample reinforcement from other Fed officials, who will
be out in force at the end of the week.. Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank
President Sandra Pianalto will be speaking to the Association for
Corporate Growth in Cleveland on Thursday, Dallas Federal Reserve Bank
President Richard Fisher will be in Philadelphia on Thursday to speak at
the Global Interdependence Center, Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank
President Dennis Lockhart will be in Montgomery, Alabama to speak at the
University of Alabama on Thursday, Richmond Federal Reserve Bank
President Jeffrey Lacker will be speaking in Richmond, Virginia on
Friday, and St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President William Poole will
be giving a local presentation in St. Louis on Friday as well.

ASTROLOGICAL DYNAMICS
With a Mars/Apollon trine and a Venus/Uranus square just having taken
place over the weekend, some strong positive energy should be in full
force by the time we get to the opening bell on Monday. The bulls should
also get a boost from the heliocentric Venus/Apollon conjunction and the
heliocentric Mercury/Jupiter square that day.

Two eclipse triggers on Tuesday combined with Mercury trine Zeus as it
crosses the 24 Line on the Universal Clock should add significant
volatility to the trading action, with the Sun/Vulcanus opposition
adding the possibility of a slight bias to the downside. On Wednesday,
however, the Venus/Neptune sextile and the Sun/Apollon square both bode
well for positive price action.

Venus enters Scorpio just a few hours before Ben Shalom Bernanke hits
Capitol Hill on Thursday, and with a Mercury/Chiron conjunction in play
as well, there should be some positive expectation in the markets that
morning. However, the Pluto/Admetos biquintile that afternoon signals a
likely turn to the downside, with some surprisingly negative energy
getting into the mix.

Friday brings a powerful trigger of next month's Lunar Eclipse, so I'll
be watching the market action closely then. With a Venus/Admetos
quincunx and the lunar perigee coming up on Saturday, I wouldn't be too
surprised to see the week end on a decidedly negative note.

Throughout this trading week I will be tracking heliocentric
third-harmonic planetary lines (H,120,N,-2) for the Earth, Mercury,
Venus, Pluto, Cupido, Hades, Vulcanus, and Apollon, using the
Fibonacci/Galactic Trader software from P.A.S. to follow the active
planetary support and resistance in real time.

Have a great week and a wonderful holiday!

SPIRITUAL FOCUS FOR THE WEEK
Many of history's most successful traders have clearly understood that
emotional equilibrium is the key to effective trading. Through Practical
Spiritual Astrology we have an opportunity to restore inner harmony,
enhance emotional balance, and make wiser choices in the markets.

Thoughts are things, and the thoughts that we entertain today become the
manifest realities in our lives tomorrow. Right now we have the
opportunity not only to choose our thoughts, but also to refine and
enliven our imagination in ways that open up greater expressions of
love, that awaken more harmonious outpourings of compassion, and that
foster a more satisfying efflorescence of creativity. When we share this
richness with those around us, we spontaneously fill our existence with
spiritual grace as well as material abundance.

"We can do no great things, only small things with great love." --Mother
Teresa

GLOBAL EQUITIES MARKETS
Latin American issues regained some of their positive momentum last week
and stocks in Mumbai and Shanghai continued their winning ways, but the
selling pressure in the U.S. was mirrored in Europe most of Asia. The
Australian All Ordinaries took an especially strong dip for the week.

Dow Jones Industrial Average -- down 1.51%

U.S. EQUITY TRENDS
The bearish consensus in the technical trend outlook for U.S. stocks
gathered some strength last week, with the S+P 500 flirting with a sell
trigger and the NASDAQ Composite Index flipping to intermediate-term
bearishness. The message seems to be clear: unless you have an extended
time horizon for your investments, it's best to be on the short side
right now.

The Russell 2000 is on a January 4 short-term sell signal, with a daily
close above 799 now required to return to short-term bullishness for the
Russell. Our August 3, 2007 intermediate-term sell signal for the
Russell 2000 remains in place at this point, with a daily close above
824 currently required to reactivate intermediate-term bullishness. The
Russell is now also on a November 26, 2007 long-term sell signal, with a
daily close above 856 needed to move our long-term indicator for the
Russell back to the buy side.

The S+P 500 is on a December 17 short-term sell signal, with a daily
close above 1516 needed to reverse this signal back to the long side.
The S+P 500 remains on a November 26, 2007 intermediate-term sell
signal, with a daily close above 1556 needed to reverse it back to the
buy side. Although the S+P closed below 1400 last Tuesday and barely
stayed above that mark by week's end, this index is still on an August
18, 2006 long-term buy signal, with a daily close for the S+P below 1364
indicating a long-term bearish trend.

The NASDAQ Composite remains on a November 8 short-term sell signal,
with a daily close above 2861 needed to reverse our technical trend
assumptions back to the buy side. We are now also on a January 8
intermediate-term sell signal, with a daily close above 3026 required to
flip this indicator back to the buy side. Our October 13, 2006 long-term
buy signal for the NASDAQ is still in place; a daily close below 2331
will reverse this to a long-term sell signal.

S+P 500 -- Long-Term Bullish; Intermediate-Term Bearish; Short-Term Bearish
NASDAQ -- Long-Term Bullish; Intermediate-Term Bearish; Short-Term Bearish
RUSSELL 2000 -- Long-Term Bearish; Intermediate-Term Bearish; Short-Term
Bearish

METAL MARKETS
GOLD -- With transiting Uranus trine Saturn in the COMEX Gold horoscope,
there's some likelihood that we will see the yellow metal hitting a
little price resistance, especially during the first part of the trading
week. By the end of the week, however, I'm expecting a full resumption
of bullishness for Gold, and the prospects continue to look positive
through the end of the month.

SILVER -- Given the insignificant way that Silver has responded to the
latest opportunities for price pull-backs, I'm expecting to the upward
movement for this metal to continue unimpeded for the next couple of
weeks. With the lunar perigee coming up this weekend, however, active
silver traders should be cautious during the closing sessions of the
current trading week.

STOCKS TO WATCH: EPIC, ESLT.

Epicor Software Corporation (EPIC)
NASDAQ; optionable
First Trade Date: 10/22/1992; 09:30 a.m.
A developer of enterprise application software, Epicor is based in
Irvine, California. The company is looking at strong fourth quarter
sales, but with transiting Saturn currently crossing the EPIC
First-Trade Midheaven, there's some likelihood that this stock will
temporarily stay in the $11-$12 trading range it has been suck in since
early December. That presents an immediate buying opportunity for EPIC,
especially since in the weeks ahead we will see transiting Jupiter
semisquare the First-Trade Ascendant, transiting Cupido semisquare
First-Trade Poseidon, transiting Neptune square First-Trade Mercury, and
transiting Poseidon sesquiquadrate First-Trade Kronos. All of these
could trigger a positive breakout from that trading channel. Our plan is
thus to add a long position in EPIC to the Model Portfolio early in the
trading week; our initial stop will be set at 10.25.

Elbit Systems Ltd. (ESLT)
NASDAQ; optionable
First Trade Date: 11/271996 09:30 a.m.
Defense electronics contractor Elbit Systems saw its stock price shoot
up in mid-October and then again in mid-December as transiting Mars
conjoined the ESLT First-Trade Descendant, first in direct motion and
then going retrograde. The energy in that second transit has been
sustained by the approach of transiting Jupiter to the ESLT First-Trade
Ascendant. Recently, however, this stock has pulled back a little bit,
signaling completion of a Wave 5 movement to the upside. That Mars
transit to the First-Trade Descendant won't reoccur until March, and in
the meantime ESLT looks like a good candidate for a short sale, with
confirmation for a bearish view coming from transiting Chiron semisquare
First-Trade Saturn, transiting Cupido in opposition to First-Trade
Hades, and transiting Hades conjoining First-Trade Kronos. We plan to
enter a short position early in the trading week; our initial buy stop
will be set at 62.75.

By providing a source of independent market analysis, the purpose of
FINANCIAL CYCLES WEEKLY is to foster the growth of person-centered
business and investment astrology; to enhance the development and
dissemination of financial literacy and prosperity consciousness; and to
explore the use of technical analysis and financial astrology in
promoting an esoteric spiritual understanding of economic trends,
geocosmic cycles, geopolitical events, and market movements. FINANCIAL
CYCLES WEEKLY is a general interest publication which is prepared from
astrological information, news reports, cycle projections, and market
observations which are believed to be accurate and reliable, but which
cannot be guaranteed. Portfolio and trading reports in this publication
do not include taxes and transaction fees, which should be taken into
consideration by prospective traders and investors. Even with accurate
information, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Speculation in securities and commodities involves considerable
financial risk, and readers who plan to invest or speculate in
securities or commodities mentioned in FINANCIAL CYCLES WEEKLY have the
complete responsibility for making themselves fully aware of all the
risks involved before they invest. The editor may or may not have
positions in the securities and commodities discussed in this
newsletter, and the information in FINANCIAL CYCLES WEEKLY should in no
way be understood or construed as a solicitation or an offer to buy or
sell any products or securities, nor should the material published in
this newsletter be considered buy/sell advice.
