In order for you to see and study how the cycles repeat, I have made of a chart of 20-year s( a6 U0 S/ U4 J
cycles, beginning with the year 1831. To show all of the cycles from 1831 to date, we have

By placing the monthly high and low prices for each of these 20-year periods above each

According to my discovery of the 60-year cycle, I had figured that 1929 would repeat like

and 60 years before, top was reached in July, 1869. If you will read my Annual Forecast for 3 P. k3 \/ Z) S3 O& P
1929, you will see that I had figured the top must come not later than the end of August and
7 g8 I8 f; K- P" gstated that a "Black Friday" would come in September. Following strictly the 1869 top, the : `) t7 r6 U% ~! M" c ~* y
top would have come in July, 1929, and some stocks did make top at that time. Following the
# W' Q- y8 l8 z) f) u3 T1909 top, we could expect top in August, and the actual high of the averages and many % q8 x5 X6 B$ j$ U5 W
individual stocks was reached on September 3, 1929. Going back to 1919, we find that the

Then, we would have a good guide in making out the Forecast for 1935, and we would know

is to compare the years of previous cycles in the same zone. For example: after the Dow-9 q U* I% `5 {3 ~+ s. ^' ~

will go back and also check the 7-year cycles, the 14-year and 15-year cycles, which is half of

with some rallies, but there will be another decline in the month of March, just as there was in , n7 c g( V9 C

: X1 S. }4 d0 j$ P# a+ D0 |7 Y5 o& alow stocks are, there are likely to be some sharp declines before the end of August. Again, in 9 i. o1 y& T6 A; i* j
