Sunspots- page 2


Sunspots have been declining for several years. The low appeared in 2008. This correlated with a sharp stock market sell-off in October 2007 and the beginning of the Great Recession. The feared H1N1 flu did not become the next pandemic. And although widespread guerilla warfare continues, the war in Iraq is winding down for America.

A major stock market high is expected shortly after monthly sunspot averages first rise above 50. This is the ?above 50 signal? that has accurately timed a series of high, then low, and now high again markets. The last rise above 50 happened in March 1998. The stock market promptly rose to its high in December 1999 (last sunspot maximum was in 2000). The NOAA projects sunspots to rise above 50 around August 2010. The exact month of this projection, however, is frequently adjusted. Sunspot maximum is also predicted to occur in 2012. It is likely that a market high will occur between these dates (see News Before the News 2010 for specific stock market forecasts).

Although sunspots can be used as a general guide in finances, they more accurately time wars, pandemics, storminess and cooler weather, and mass human/animal migrations. Expect these conditions to get worse in the next several years.
