THE BOTTOM LINE: With Mercury in retrograde motion, this is likely to be
a week of market fake-outs, even though the New Moon energy will be
doing its best to keep the bulls awake. Thanks to some extended
void-of-course Moon periods on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, this is
definitely going to be a week that will keep even the most seasoned
traders guessing. Anybody ready for a vacation?

COMMENT: Last week’s trading matched my expectations fairly closely, but
Thursday proved to be a much more volatile day than Friday. Even so, the
U.S. markets managed to post gains for every trading day during the
holiday-shortened trading week, leaving a mood of cautious optimism as
we move into a new month.

STIMULUS FIZZLE
The government’s much-touted economic stimulus package, in the form of
tax rebates providing up to $600 per tax-paying household, was intended
to help mollify the impact of the current crisis that’s been hitting
Americans in the most sensitive areas of their pocketbooks. Now, with
the April 15 tax filing deadline past, many of those households have
started getting their stimulus checks.
There’s only one problem. The stimulus hasn’t proven to be all that
stimulating. Most recipients of the government checks, it seems, aren’t
rushing out to the stores to buy new TV sets or other toys. Instead, a
lot of them are socking the money into savings accounts (very strange
behavior indeed for Americans!), using it to pay off some of their
mounting bills, or just topping off the gas tanks in their SUVs.

UNSEEN INSTABILITIES
For the past four years Patty and I have been renting a very pleasant
home here in Sarasota, Florida. It’s a location we love, and it features
many amenities that we’ve grown quite fond of.

Frankly, we’ve also really appreciated being tenants instead of
homeowners. For one thing, we’re fortunate to have a very cooperative
and responsible landlord, which certainly reduces the stress of handling
routine maintenance and repair issues.

And we also are glad to have dodged the major impact of the housing
bubble here—when we rented this place, homes in Sarasota had moved up to
astronomical prices in a speculative frenzy, and since that time prices
have dropped significantly. So we count not being homeowners as a real gift.

That notion was underscored for us during the past few days when the
landlord brought in a contractor to take a look at a mysterious crack we
had noticed at the end of a large ceiling beam in our living room.

A little bit of poking and probing behind the sheet rock below the crack
revealed the fact that the concealed support column that was supposed to
be holding up that end of the ceiling beam was in fact nearly
nonexistent—it had been almost completely eaten away by termites.

We were actually in fairly immediate danger at that point of having the
entire ceiling come crashing down on our heads, but thanks to same hasty
work by the contractor’s crew in putting a couple of four-by-fours in
strategic locations, that hazard was handily averted. At that point the
damage assessment continued.

A couple of hours later, after a lot of pounding and hacking and sawing,
most of an entire wall in the room had been removed, and a lot more
extensive termite damage had been exposed. Since it was almost quitting
time, the contractor decided to vacuum up the dust and debris, and in
the process he sucked up another entire section of the wall, which
simply turned to dust as the vacuum hit it.

It was not exactly what we had planned to do last week, but we had
little choice except to go along with the demolition process. So right
now we’re living with some hastily rearranged furniture, a sizable chunk
of our home encased in plastic sheeting, and a promise that things will
be put returned to normal in just a few more days.

While this whole adventure has been a considerable inconvenience, it has
also been an excellent opportunity for reflection. For one thing, it has
gotten us thinking very seriously about finding another place to live.
It has also provided a useful metaphor for the state of the housing
market in general, and possibly for the broader economic picture as well.

While the real estate bubble in Southwest Florida was certainly a bit
more extreme than it was in some other parts of the country, one of the
key symptoms was the same here as it was elsewhere—the stubborn belief
that real estate can only go up in value.

For some reason, that’s a belief that dies hard. And what has really
been remarkable is how little the price of homes here has actually
dropped, in spite of the fact that sales have almost completely dried up
and the inventory of unsold homes increases every month.

Right now, in fact, there are 8,109 single-family homes for sale in
Sarasota alone, up about 15% from the inventory here about two months
ago. And while there have been a few token price reductions here and
there, homes in this area are clearly not yet being “priced to sell.”

Some day, of course, there will be a fading of the strangely persistent
notion that buyers will somehow magically materialize who will actually
pay those high prices. Some little cracks will appear in the
over-speculated structure. And then, I expect, just like termite-eaten
wood getting sucked into a vacuum cleaner, the whole hyper-inflated mess
will suddenly collapse.

Some day. Probably sooner rather than later, the way it looks right now.

And as far as I can tell, that “some day” is on its way, not only for
the housing market in Sarasota, Florida, but for other overpriced areas
as well, and quite possibly for many other sectors of the economy, too.

That day will bring some very big opportunities, and some really
remarkable bargains, as well as a lot of pain, distress, and confusion.

And when it comes, there are likely to be quite a few of us still left
scratching our heads. As we listen to the sound of the vacuum cleaner
sucking away the last of our illusions, we may very well be saying
“Gosh, it only looked like a little crack to me. Who would have thought
that the whole darn thing had been eaten away?”

WHAT’S IN APPLE’S BOXES?
There’s been increasing speculation in recent weeks about the contents
of 188 ocean shipping containers consigned to Apple Inc from China. The
rumors started after a report from ImportGenius, a specialized search
engine that has carved out a niche for itself by monitoring U.S. Customs
records of ocean containers entering U.S. ports in order to gather what
the firm describes as “competitive intelligence.”

The Scottsdale, Arizona company reported that since the middle of March
there’s been a big spike in shipments to Apple of containers labeled
“electric computers,” which is apparently a completely new description
that has never before been used on customs declarations. The shipments
have come from two of Apple’s Asian suppliers, Quanta Computer and Hon
Hai Precision Corporation.

Apple’s not saying what’s in all those containers. But industry experts
are guessing that they are full of the newest version of the iPhone,
ready to burst onto the market in a massive product launch.

THE ECONOMIC CALENDAR
It’s shaping up to be an extremely busy week for economic news. During
the week ahead we will be watching for the reports on Construction
Spending, the ISM Manufacturing Index, Factory Orders, ICSC-UBS Store
Sales, MBA Purchase Applications, the Challenger Job-Cut Report, ADP
Employment Report, Productivity and Costs, the ISM Non-Manufacturing
Survey, the EIA Petroleum Status Report, the EIA Natural Gas Report, the
Monster Employment Index, RBC CASH Index, Employment Situation,
Wholesale Trade, Consumer Credit, Jobless Claims, and the Money Supply.

On Monday Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Dennis Lockhart will be
in Jacksonville, Florida to talk about the U.S. economic situation; on
Thursday there will be interest rate announcements from the Bank of
England and the European Central Bank, and on Friday St. Louis Federal
Reserve Bank President James Bullard will be in Madison, Wisconsin to
speak at the University of Wisconsin about housing issues.

ASTROLOGICAL DYNAMICS
I’m expecting a somewhat negative start to the trading day on Monday,
thanks to the mid-day conjunction of Chiron and the True Lunar Node. The
trend may reverse sharply to the upside by the end of the trading day
with the Mars/Apollon quintile making itself known, but as a whole none
of this is to be trusted. There’s a void-of-course Moon in play
throughout the entire trading day, so it’s a good time to catch up on a
little research and watch the market action from the sidelines.

Tuesday should be a powerful day in the markets, thanks to the New Moon
and some intriguing activity from Venus and Hades. I’m expecting a
positive tone overall, but with the New Moon coming so near the closing
bell it’s quite possible that we will need to let go of some cherished
assumptions during the trading action up until that time.

On Wednesday we get a repeat performance of Monday—a void-of-course Moon
throughout the trading day, which will keep me away from initiating any
new trades. The waning Venus/Poseidon quintile that evening is likely to
bring some extra confusion to the trading scene on both Wednesday and
Thursday, with congested bidding leading some intraday topping action.

The waxing Sun/Jupiter biquintile near the opening bell on Thursday
suggests that the congestion is likely to resolve itself on the positive
side, a notion that’s supported by the Venus/Cupido opposition that
evening. If there’s a move to the upside on Thursday, however, we are
likely to see much of it disappear as the day gets underway on Friday,
thanks to the waxing Venus/Jupiter biquintile in the early morning hours.

It will be especially interesting to keep an eye on the market action on
Friday afternoon, with the tight heliocentric interactions of Mercury,
Venus, and Cupido a couple of hours before the closing bell. Once again,
however, the best place to deal with the markets on Friday will be from
the sidelines. You guessed it—we get yet another full-day void-of-course
Moon to end the trading week!

As we move into the weekend we will get a Sun/Mercury conjunction and a
Mercury/Venus conjunction. Both are positive signals that suggest
solidly higher stock prices in the week ahead.

Throughout this trading week I will be tracking geocentric
fifth-harmonic planetary lines (G,72,N,-2) for the Sun, Mercury, Venus,
Jupiter, Apollon, 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 astro-trading

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.

Why should we be limited by old boundaries, by old assumptions, or by
old expectations? We can now completely transcend all that we formerly
allowed to hold us back, expanding effortlessly into a richer, more
fulfilling realm of consciousness that allows us to accept and embrace
the boundless nature of who we really are—Divine beings bringing all
possibilities into glorious manifestation. The real treasure in this
transcendent state is not just the glow of confident self-assurance; it
is the joyfully humbling recognition that we are surrounded by other
sentient beings with whom we are irrevocably linked as one mind and one
creative expression!

U.S. EQUITY TRENDS
U.S. blue chip and large cap issues continued to show more weakness than
smaller cap and tech stocks last week, but as a whole prices in the U.S.
markets advanced. While I expect to see advancing stock prices during
the next week or 10 days as well, this is unlikely to be a sustained
rally at this time, especially considering the underlying bearish
indicators that are currently reflecting some weakness in market action.
As things now stand, all of those technical indicators remain clearly
intact, and our underlying bearish assumptions at this point seem fully
justified.

The Russell 2000 closed the trading week at 748.28. With some very solid
recent price advances, this index has broken significantly above its
25-day moving average, but the Russell remains on a January 4 short-term
sell signal, with a daily close above 799 required to return to
short-term bullishness. 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 recouped some of its recent losses, ending the week
at 2522.66. Even so, this index is still short of our technical price
target needed to confirm a reversal to the upside. The NADAQ currently
remains on a November 8 short-term sell signal, with a daily close above
2735 needed to reverse our technical trend assumptions back to the buy
side. The NASDAQ is on a January 22 long-term sell signal, with a daily
close of 3044 or higher needed to resume long-term bullish expectations.
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 started working its way back from its recent sell-off, with
a weekly close at 1400.38. This index is still on a December 17
short-term sell signal, with a daily close above 1436 needed to reverse
our trend assumptions 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 – Even though this metal backed off a bit during last week’s
trading, it’s still showing considerable long-term strength. I’m
expecting a fairly positive week ahead of us for Gold prices, although
we may start to see some topping action toward the end of the week. The
movement of heliocentric Mercury into Sagittarius as the week gets
underway is a solidly bullish indicator, so positions to the long side
are definitely favored at this point. Gold needs to break through its
short-term resistance zone at 930; its next big resistance target is 950.

SILVER – Silver took a fairly sharp hit just as Mercury went retrograde
last week, and we may be in the midst of a deceptive counter-trend that
could last another week or two. Even so, I think Silver is due for a
mildly aggressive reversal to the upside, and I’m looking to this week’s
New Moon as a possible trigger for such a move. If you’re trading in
this market, stay alert!

STOCKS TO WATCH: AMZN, SU, SPN.

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)
NASDAQ – optionable
First Trade Date: 05/15/1997; 09:30 a.m.
With transiting Jupiter in retrograde motion heading for the AMZN
First-Trade Descendant, setting the stage for a positive price pop for
this stock. Along the way, Jupiter is sesquiquadrate the First-Trade
Moon and First-Trade Venus, and semisquare First-Trade Pluto. It will
finish June with a square to First-Trade Apollon and an opposition to
First-Trade Vulcanus. On top of that, transiting Cupido is currently
semisquare First-Trade Neptune, adding some speculative energy to the
mix. It’s not that the future looks completely unblemished for this
stock—transiting Chiron is conjoining First-Trade Jupiter and transiting
Saturn will connect with a couple of First-Trade transneptunians in
mid-June just as transiting Hades squares the First-Trade True Lunar
Node—but on balance this looks like a very solid opportunity. Our plan
is thus to add a long position in AMZN early in the trading week, with
an initial stop set at 76.00.

Suncor Energy (SU)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 04/18/1997; 09:30 a.m.
There’s nothing like a one-two punch from Saturn and Hades to identify a
good candidate for a short sale. Transiting Saturn is about to conjoin
the SU First-Trade IC and form semisquares to First-Trade Vulcanus and
First-Trade Apollon, creating a decidedly negative influence. Then hot
on the heels of Saturn, transiting Hades will take its time crossing the
SU First-Trade Ascendant. We plan to sell SU short early in the trading
week, with our initial buy stop set at 74.50.

Superior Energy Services, Inc. (SPN)
NYSE; optionable
First Trade Date: 05/15/2001; 09:30 a.m.
Right now transiting Neptune is simultaneously conjunct the SPN
First-Trade Uranus and square the First-Trade Sun. That makes for a
potentially explosive speculative environment for this stock, which
could provide a positive boost. Even more encouraging, however, is the
fact that transiting Jupiter will be spending June in opposition to
First-Trade Vulcanus, square First-Trade Apollon, semisquare First-Trade
Cupido, and conjunct the First-Trade Descendant. We will be adding a
long position in this stock to the Model Portfolio toward the end of the
trading week, with an initial stop set at 49.85.
