I have stated before that the future is but a repetition of the past; therefore, to make up a ) G+ Q6 j0 z$ u0 `7 V
forecast of the future, you must refer to the previous cycles.

changes occur at the end of 30-year cycles. In making up my 1935 Forecast on the general 2 r$ F) J. y1 {! t* J6 {
market, I checked the years 1905, 1915, and 1925. For the 1929 forecast, I compared 1919 –

In order for you to see and study how the cycles repeat, I have made of a chart of 20-year

1929 FORECAST
( O- A9 L' C5 _, g/ J& b0 A4 e& iAccording to my discovery of the 60-year cycle, I had figured that 1929 would repeat like # L A0 s5 b8 g$ b9 w
1869, 1909, and 1919. Looking back 20 years, we find that top was reached in August, 1909, D$ a( b4 N% C% t. ]! \
and 60 years before, top was reached in July, 1869. If you will read my Annual Forecast for 8 y6 w! q4 ^" H, X2 H L
1929, you will see that I had figured the top must come not later than the end of August and
+ X: n g8 E4 M' m2 [9 f, Pstated that a "Black Friday" would come in September. Following strictly the 1869 top, the
) M7 i' N" J$ c5 D5 d! etop would have come in July, 1929, and some stocks did make top at that time. Following the 6 c1 Y. o E: T% l
1909 top, we could expect top in August, and the actual high of the averages and many
, u9 h' H* v: v; t; hindividual stocks was reached on September 3, 1929. Going back to 1919, we find that the

early part of November.

1935 FORECAST
: O# @, H9 ^5 SFiguring out the Forecast for 1935, we see on this 20-year Chart that we are running against % n4 X j9 z! L* p2 _: J$ g
1855, 1875, 1895, 1915. Therefore, we look to see what happened in those years. We find: {( }0 f) x Q! T7 _& N; m
that in 1895, the high was reached in September, in 1915, the high of the year was reached in
8 [9 `# @& N0 d. u. b9 I$ g: e$ y1 R! KDecember.
, s# C$ C: t: d; m5 j5 U* B# ]2 C% q
Then, look back at 1865, 1885, 1905, and 1925, the years in the 5th zone or the 10-year 2 _ J" z% n9 ~. w! u( [
cycles. We find that in 1865 the high was reached in October; in 1905 the high was in , U$ ~# A4 `2 ?
October: in 1925 the high was in November.
% l6 O+ F' W6 O8 R# p# @2 }0 k* b: L
Then, we would have a good guide in making out the Forecast for 1935, and we would know
, P# q3 N r6 z4 h( H; p+ zwhat months to watch for top and a change in trend. My Annual Forecast for 1935, which
, _! | ?; @; H# P& c; D. Z8 q {was made up in October, 1934, indicated top for October 28 and a secondary top for , e( [# a+ s9 X" J/ E
November 15-16, 1935.
% J, W( C9 U" T: R6 j$ d3 X& [! B: `+ J3 z9 A0 \
There are other ways of using this Chart to advantage. One method of determining the trend ' T- _* E) B2 _% C+ Y
is to compare the years of previous cycles in the same zone. For example: after the Dow-. a o5 b* T2 l
Jones 30 Industrial Averages crossed 108 in May, 1935, they were above the average high
& W# f" K$ u1 \ {& ~, X! I+ Kprice of all the previous years in the 15th-year zone. Therefore, the market indicated higher

1916 - The next important cycle is 20 years later, or 1916. We find that prices declined in

followed from the latter part of November into December.0 i( O3 y, Q+ z3 S

look at the cycles on the other side of the Chart, in the 6th year of the 20-year cycle, or the 6th

price in history up to that time. From the high of January, a sharp decline followed 4 t# q G7 D; z0 n0 w2 u

there was a rally into June, followed by a sharp decline to low in July, with the

Now, when I get ready to make up my Forecast for 1936, I will consider all of the cycles. I - {1 S3 s# u0 f. X3 ]) w
will go back and also check the 7-year cycles, the 14-year and 15-year cycles, which is half of
3 I/ e) @/ `1 hthe 30-year cycle. But, at this writing, with my knowledge and experience of the future M* I: |3 G) S3 c- Z' c
cycles, I expect the 1896 cycle to repeat in 1936.6 S1 ~, }6 A. T! m2 Q( f. `, [" g
4 {8 k+ Z* u' M, F5 N1 n
1936 is likely to be a very uncertain election year just as it was in 1896, when the Bryan silver . p3 L, w* Y/ U
scare caused a panicky decline into August. There is a possibility of a three-cornered fight,
3 u, W3 g' M& }4 j# u/ Kwith two Democratic presidential candidates and one Republican. There certainly is going to
" C; ?# ~" W& k4 mbe a time during 1936 when the investors are going to get scared and speculators are going to
4 a& \( e; p- r$ U, v/ Uget scared and sell stocks, causing sharp declines.: k# y! }! G$ O* R9 q4 ]& E
+ W8 d$ N% h' x! p
My opinion, at this writing, is that the first decline will start in the month of January and wind ! m* g3 R& Z. h7 @" q" C z B
up with a sharp decline. February – the market may drift along in a narrow, trading range
{7 {, O. m2 [2 _, D4 j# rwith some rallies, but there will be another decline in the month of March, just as there was in ! ~) `4 D) t8 W+ T
1926. I am confident that there will be another break in the months of May and June,
5 G/ h6 S2 r( } \especially in the latter half of May, as this will be running out four years from the 1932 low / o7 @' B1 e+ T2 Y1 \" M0 \1 p
and 6 years from April, 1930 high, all of which are indications of important changes in trend.
6 @% M4 n, v# R$ i: V0 m
3 G8 Y5 G6 M P4 B8 pWe know that presidential nominations will take place in July, therefore this is a month to
3 P- y. v2 D% q( J5 Zwatch for uncertainties and declines, unless sharp declines have come before that time. The
' b6 _1 a z: C; H. jending of the cycle from 1896 in August is quite important and regardless of how high or how
! L( h3 N3 t- K6 nlow stocks are, there are likely to be some sharp declines before the end of August. Again, in
- ^. Z4 o; a Q2 R1 ^0 Bthe last half of September, uncertain conditions and possibility of sharp declines are indicated. * y/ a; J$ D! f6 {& u3 n
This may mark the last low and an election rally may start if there are indications of a change

September, October, and November are all important because these months are 7 years from , H! A; \: R; z! `% C9 ~
