Don't miss out on MMA's Forecast for 2009 Book. Order now and reserve your copy!!! Last year's book sold out by January, and this year's orders have been twice as brisk. And once they are sold out, it is unlikely that there will be additional printings. 

MMA's annual Forecasts Book, written by Raymond A. Merriman since 1976, is one of the most unique, affordable, and accurate glimpses into the coming year. Utilizing the study of cycles and geocosmic factors, this annual Forecasts book outlines forthcoming trends pertaining to political, economic, and financial markets throughout the world. Although 2008 is only approximately half over, many of the Forecast outlined in this book have already come to pass, including:

1) U.S. involvement in Iraq remains problematic with possibility of entering onto new military conflicts by the 2008 election; 2) serious problems with the U.S. Dollar (which sank to new all-time lows against the Euro currency and Swiss Franc, and continues to test the all-time low against the Japanese Yen); 3) the Federal Reserve Board has to inject more and more liquidity to prop up the financial systems; 4) the USA 2008 presidential election offers a stark contrast in candidates; 5) crest of 25-month cycle in T-Bonds and Notes due December 18, 2007-April 18 2008 (the crest unfolded January 23 and March 17, followed by a steep decline to that cycle low in October 2008); 6) If the DJIA breaks below 12,500, it could retest the 10,683 low of July 2006. It could be even more if the long-term cycle topped out in October 2007. We could be in a new bear market (the yearly low was 10,827 on July 15, and then in September, it crashed, trading to 7449 on November 21); 7) Both Gold and Silver are due to complete a multi-year crest in late 2007 or early 2008, followed by a sharp decline (Gold made a new all-time high, and Silver a 28-year high, on March 14-17 at 1038.00 and 2144 respectively, and then started a substantial decline into late October 2008, down to 680 and 850 area respectively); 8) the Dollar/Yen will form its 33-month cycle trough by early 2008, then the Dollar will stage an impressive multi-month rally (the Dollar/Yen bottomed at .9571 on March 17, and then made a new yearly high at 1.1066 on August 15, before starting its decline to to the 16.-year trough due by 2011); 9) it will be a very favorable growing season for grains, and important crests in all grains are due in early 2008 (it was a great growing season and Wheat made its all-time high in February, while Corn and Soybeans made their all-time highs in June-July; prices then plummeted over 50% from those highs to the lows in early December); 10) Crude oil will top out by early 2008, followed by a healthy correction to an 18-month cycle trough by September 2008. It will eventually fall 50-90% from its high by the time Uranus leaves Pisces in 2011 (Crude didn't make its final top until July 11 at $147.27, but then dropped to 90.50 on September 16. It rallied sharply back to 130.00 on September 22, then began another decline, which so far has been down to 40.50 as of December 5, a loss of 72.5% so far).

And of course: the all-important Critical Reversal Dates. Many of the critical reversal dates given for various markets have been impressive. As of mid-August, 9 of the 10 reversal dates in T-Bonds and/or Notes have coincided with cycle reversals within only two trading days or less, including the yearly high of March 17 and low of June 13. Five of the 6 major reversal dates given in stock indices unfolded within only three trading days, including the high of year on May 19. All 8 dates given for Gold and/or Silver were accurate within five trading days, with the majority within only two days; the seven reversal dates given for the Dollar/Yen were all accurate within 3 trading days (five within only one day); all 9 reversal dates for given for grains corresponded to important reversals in Soybeans (8 were within 3 trading days), including the high and low of the year in Wheat; all seven reversal dates for Crude Oil were accurate within 5 trading days, with six of them hitting within three days, including the all-time high of July 11. Do you think this kind of accuracy would be valuable to traders? You betcha!
