THE BOTTOM LINE: With an increasingly bearish scenario unfolding for
stocks, I'm nevertheless expecting a week that begins with some positive
price energy. While any moves to the upside may be quite modest or may
get cancelled out altogether by traders' trepidations, anything this
week that smells like a serious move into positive territory should be
taken seriously as an opportunity to take profits. This is especially
important to remember toward the end of the week, when the market action
is likely to seem unexpectedly rosy. There will be even bigger selling
pressures in the months to come!

COMMENT: I was looking for some positive price action during the early
part of last week, with "a particular need for cautious responses to
economic and market data on Wednesday and Thursday" bringing the
possibility of some bearish sentiment toward the end of the week. While
that's exactly what happened, the sell-off on Friday was far stronger
than I had anticipated, thanks mainly to Ben Shalom Bernanke's saying
that we can expect some bank failures before we have worked through all
the ramifications of the current debt crisis.

With the severity of Friday's pullback, the price surge in the first
part of the week effectively joined the price peak at the end of January
in creating a double top, which is a very bearish pattern. The big
questions now are how fast will a really big downward move unfold, and
how many other markets will accompany U.S. equities in a rush into
negative territory? It's becoming clear not only that the subprime
debacle is just the tip of the iceberg in a very shaky credit situation,
but also that the fundamental rottenness extends far beyond U.S. shores,
reaching into Europe and other parts of the globe as well.

All this adds up to a situation that's nerve-wracking to say the least,
especially if you expect to live and trade in a world where everything
is the same as it always was. While the fundamentals may look sound in
some market sectors, the technical picture is increasingly worrisome,
and the astrological factors at work behind the scenes are signaling
realignments on a grand scale. In short, there are some very big changes
underway right now--not because of political sloganeering, but because
of natural harmonies that will find full expression whether or not we
fully understand all their implications.

HELP FROM THE TOP
Even though the cautionary tone of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Shalom
Bernanke's testimony to Congress last week undoubtedly played a role in
bringing stock prices down, it's also possible that The Decider himself
had an impact as well. President Bush told the nation that there is no
recession and declared the American economy alive and well. I'm not sure
who actually listened when he said that, much less whether they ever get
anywhere near Wall Street. But given the depth and accuracy of the
president's off-the-cuff economic analysis in the past, his positive
comments now are probably best viewed as major bearish signals!

RISING PRICES FOR REAL STUFF
While stocks certainly had their share of challenges last week, that was
hardly the case for commodities. Gold shot up to a new record high of
$977 an ounce, while Silver topped $20 an ounce. The euro closed above
$1.50 US dollars, and oil hit $103.05 a barrel. Wheat hit $13.00 a
bushel and Soybeans $15.24 a bushel, new records for both commodities.
While there certainly may be some corrective price action from time to
time, the long-term outlook for commodities in general remains extremely
bullish.

A NEW CASUALTY IN HOUSING
In spite of all the evidence of the increasing severity of the mortgage
crisis, a part of me has stubbornly refused to believe how bad the
situation really is. At least that was the case until the news broke
this past week that pop star Michael Jackson has gotten behind on his
house payments!

According to documents in the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office,
Jackson has repeatedly failed to make mortgage payments on an Encino
home that has been used by his family for years. As of January 17, the
popular singer had $153,910 in missed mortgage payments, but other
documents show that the notice of default on his $4 million home loan
was withdrawn on February 7.

This was not the first time that Jackson has courted default on this
property in the San Fernando Valley; he also missed payments in April
and August last year. And his famous Neverland property in Los Olivos,
California is also in trouble--it's scheduled to be auctioned off on
March 19 because of missed payments on his $24.5 million loan.

$299 MIND READING
Science fiction is getting a little closer to science reality, thanks to
new technology being introduced by Emotiv Systems Inc. Later this year,
the company plans to start selling a device that will let users control
computer games with their thoughts.

Headquartered in San Francisco with a research facility in Sydney,
Australia, Emotiv says its new $299 EPOC neuroheadset is designed to
detect conscious thoughts and expressions as well as "non-conscious
emotions" by reading electrical signals around the brain. While the
device opens the door to all kinds of exciting possibilities in
mind-machine interactions, its immediate payoff is most likely to be
some relief for avid computer game players whose fingers are cramping
from too much gaming.

"Communication between human and machine has always been limited to
conscious interaction, with non-conscious communication--expression,
intuition, perception--reserved solely for the human realm," the company
says. "At Emotiv, we believe that future communication between human and
machine will not be limited to the conscious communication that exists
today; users will demand that non-conscious communication play a much
more significant role.

"Our mission is to create the ultimate interface for the next-generation
of human-machine interaction, by evolving the interaction between humans
and electronic devices beyond the limitations of conscious interface.
Emotiv has created technologies that allow machines to take both
conscious and non-conscious inputs directly from your mind.

"Applications for the Emotiv technology can span numerous industries;
however, our immediate target market is entertainment, with a focus on
the electronic games industry."

PUNISHMENT FOR PENNIES
If you're worried about the shrinking value of the US dollar, consider
the fact that just the simple act of paying for something with cash can
get you into trouble.

I'm not just talking about big-ticket purchases, which have long aroused
suspicion. Even a $2 purchase can create problems, as 29 New Jersey
students learned last week when they were disciplined by their school
for using unacceptable currency in a school lunchroom.

The eighth-graders at Readington Middle School in Readington Township
all got two days detention after they paid for their school lunches in
pennies. While wearing tee shirts emblazoned with the words "Got
pennies!" they each presented 200 coins in payment.

According to some of the students the scheme was a protest against lunch
periods that are too brief, while others said it was all just an
elaborate joke. But the school lunch ladies didn't find it funny. They
claimed that it took them too long to count the 5,800 pennies that went
through the lunch line on Thursday, even though some of the students
presented their coins in rolls. School officials agreed with the lunch
ladies, and decided to punish the students who participated. "There are
ways to express yourself that are not disruptive to other kids and
disrespectful to staff," Readington Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jorden
Schiff commented.

Whether or not self-expression is the real issue, some of the students
feel that they were unjustly disciplined. "There was no rule in the
rulebook about it," student Sarah Henschel said. "It was just unfair.
It's U.S. currency."

ASTROLOGICAL DYNAMICS
The trading week starts with the heliocentric opposition of Mercury to
the transneptunian factor Admetos on Monday. This particular planetary
dynamic typically supports rising stock prices, at least for 5 or 6
days, but there's a fly in the ointment this time: we have a
void-of-course Moon throughout the trading day on Monday, so even though
the day may have a positive bias, anything that looks like a
bargain-hunting rally must be eyed with suspicion. I'll personally be
spending most of that day on airplanes, which will make it easier for me
to follow my recommended void-of-course strategy of watching the markets
from afar and avoiding active trading.

Tuesday brings the entry of Mars into Cancer, an event that can signal a
sudden rise in tensions and hostility, both globally and domestically.
We can certainly expect some real contentiousness in the presidential
primaries that are held that day, and I wouldn't be surprised to see
some geopolitical aggressiveness or natural catastrophes hitting the
news as well. In the equities markets this passage often signals the
start of a downward trend, especially for large cap issues. Even so,
that trend sometimes begins with a fake-out move in a positive
direction, so my expectation is that Mars will reinforce bullish
assumptions for a week or two before encouraging more bearish scenarios,
at least into mid-May. On balance, I expect to see a mildly positive
finish to the trading day on Tuesday in spite of some real apprehensions.

Wednesday brings the distinct possibility of a move to the downside,
thanks mainly to the Mercury/Chiron conjunction and the entry of
heliocentric Mercury into Sagittarius. While this heliocentric passage
has a particularly strong likelihood of impacting the precious metals,
it can also make its influence felt in the equities markets, and I
wouldn't be surprised to see a significant dip in stock prices before
the day is done.

With the multiple technical confirmations of an impending move toward a
major market decline that we have seen lately, I think it's wise for
long-side traders to use positive days in the market as opportunities to
take some money off the table. That's exactly the kind of opportunity
that I think we will see toward the end of this trading week, with
Thursday's Venus/Neptune conjunction leading the way. Neptunian energy
can always be confusing if not actively deceptive, so a rally then is
likely to be less substantial than it looks. It's thus a good time for
taking profits and for considering some short sales.

Friday's Mars/Pluto opposition underscores the tensions that began
unfolding on Tuesday, so there's a high likelihood of an extremely
volatile trading day, especially since this expression of planetary
energy gets a lot of reinforcement from the New Moon. My expectation is
that the trading day will wind up with a net gain for stocks, but that
outcome is far from certain. A void-of-course Moon gets underway a
couple of hours prior to the closing bell, so there will be good reason
to close up shop then and get an early start on the weekend.
Throughout this trading week I will be tracking heliocentric
fifth-harmonic planetary lines (H,72,N,-2) for the Earth, Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Pluto, Chiron, Kronos, Admetos, and Poseidon, using the
Fibonacci/Galactic Trader software from P.A.S. to follow the active
planetary support and resistance in real time. For more information on
this software as an astro-trading platform go to

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.

The time has come for a new beginning. If we release the inhibitions of
our limited preconceptions and worn-out habits, we can rediscover the
joy of our true spiritual essence, in all its tenderness, vulnerability,
and amazing radiance. Along with that joy, the love in our hearts can
reveal a broader vision of genuine discipleship, preparing us for the
personal and public drama of powerful transformation.

"Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We
get very little wisdom from success, you know." --William Saroyan

GLOBAL EQUITIES MARKETS
A number of markets around the world pushed to new highs following last
week's Sun/Saturn opposition, but by the end of the week some sharp
price reversals set in and much of the action ended up in negative
territory. It's interesting to note, however, that the downturn wasn't
universal. Issues in Europe, Australia and Japan basically broke even
for the week, while Hong Kong and Mumbai posted gains. This kind of
inter-market divergence is a bearish signal, so some of the surprises
ahead for global equities may include some nasty spills and chills.

Dow Jones Industrial Average -- down 0.93%
Dow Jones Transportation Average -- down 2.78%
Dow Jones Utilities Average -- down 4.03%
S+P 500 -- down 1.66%
NASDAQ Composite Index -- down 1.38%
Russell 2000 -- down 1.33%
London FTSE-100 -- down 0.07%
Amsterdam Index -- down 1.13%
Paris CAC-40 -- down 0.70%
Frankfurt DAX -- down 0.85%
Mexico Index -- down 2.04%
Sao Paulo BOVESPA -- down 1.73%
Sydney All Ordinaries -- up 0.54%
Bombay SENSEX -- up 1.32%
Tokyo Nikkei Index -- up 0.76%
Shanghai SE Composite Index -- down 0.50%
Hong Kong Hang Seng Index -- up 4.41%

U.S. EQUITY TRENDS
U.S. stocks jumped into rally mode as the week got underway, but after
three positive trading days they turned south with a vengeance. New lows
outnumbered new highs by a 3-to-2 ratio for the week at the NYSE and the
Amex, but by a much more devastating 4-to-1 ratio on the NASDAQ. From a
technical standpoint our bearish trend indicators for U.S. stocks in all
time frames remain confirmed.

The Russell 2000 closed the week at 686.18. The Russell 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 NASDAQ Composite closed the week at 2271.48. The NASDAQ is now on a
January 22 long-term sell signal, with a daily close of 3044 or higher
needed to resume long-term bullish expectations. This index remains on a
November 8 short-term sell signal, with a daily close above 2735 now
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 2861 currently required to flip this indicator back to
the buy side.

The S+P 500 closed the week at 1330.63. The S+P is on a December 17
short-term sell signal, with a daily close above 1436 needed to reverse
this signal back to the long side. The S+P 500 is on a November 26, 2007
intermediate-term sell signal, with a daily close above 1499 needed to
reverse it back to the buy side. For the long-term, the S+P is on a
January 17 sell signal, with a daily close above 1552 now need to flip
our long-term trend expectations back to bullish assumptions.

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

METAL MARKETS
GOLD -- My bearish warnings about Gold during the past few weeks have
been generally ignored by the market, with the metal pushing to one
record high after another. This week we have heliocentric Mercury moving
into Sagittarius, an event that is usually connected with increased
volatility for precious metals. Most of the time this astrological
dynamic is a signal for a short-term upward move in the price of Gold,
and while we may see some unexpectedly strong corrective behavior in
this market during the next couple of weeks, I think it's not wise to
ignore the positive potential of this Mercury signal. Given Gold's
recent insistence on exploring new territory to the upside, I expect to
see another week of strong surges toward new record highs.

SILVER -- Although there are sometimes minor divergences between Gold
and Silver, this is not one of those times. With Silver now above $20 an
ounce and trading at its highest level in nearly three decades, I think
we will see a strong effort to keep that positive trend in place.
There's a New Moon on Friday, however, so traders in this metal will
need to be especially alert towards the end of the trading week--Silver
could whipsaw overly cautious speculators then with a sharp fake-out to
the downside prior to an aggressive move toward new heights.

honors the work of legendary trader W. D. Gann, it only reflects a small
portion of the wisdom that Gann brought to the markets during the last
century. For more Gann Plan trading insights be sure to read the free
GANN PLAN TRADING LETTER. The current issue can be downloaded without

letter appear at irregular intervals, so be sure to get your free

STOCK TO WATCH: MMSI.

Merit Medical Systems (MMSI)
NASDAQ; optionable
First Trade Date: 05/10/1990; 09:30 a.m.
Merit Medical Systems, Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets
disposable medical devices. After gaining more than 25% since January 1,
in recent weeks MMSI has been stuck in a fairly narrow trading range.
Right now, however, transiting Jupiter is conjoining the MMSI
First-Trade Neptune and is about the cross the First-Trade Descendant.
This is likely to pump up the price of this stock briefly, but after
that action fades away lower prices will likely be ahead for MMSI. Our
plan is thus to sell this stock short near the end of the trading week;
we will set our initial buy stop at 18.05.
