In order for you to see and study how the cycles repeat, I have made of a chart of 20-year / P0 p: P+ }$ Z* V k+ ^- c
cycles, beginning with the year 1831. To show all of the cycles from 1831 to date, we have + ?5 V$ r. k) p% W" y c( [
carried through on this chart the monthly high and low on railroad and canal stocks from 18313 V' p' T* S8 r' _: z/ F3 m4 g

until the beginning of the Dow-Jones Averages in 1896. After that we have used the Dow-

By placing the monthly high and low prices for each of these 20-year periods above each ; ?: k. _4 C& T

1869, 1909, and 1919. Looking back 20 years, we find that top was reached in August, 1909,

top would have come in July, 1929, and some stocks did make top at that time. Following the

individual stocks was reached on September 3, 1929. Going back to 1919, we find that the * E& J- U4 I! a3 c2 d* B/ S- u

Then, we would have a good guide in making out the Forecast for 1935, and we would know
6 M* _7 s: Z* h) m% H' c; xwhat months to watch for top and a change in trend. My Annual Forecast for 1935, which C5 O3 z8 B8 a& p# n5 k

6 T! I4 S! ?( M i6 D; oThere are other ways of using this Chart to advantage. One method of determining the trend / K' f" l' o+ c- k! \
is to compare the years of previous cycles in the same zone. For example: after the Dow-
/ i( r+ B6 @2 s7 \" A- J6 bJones 30 Industrial Averages crossed 108 in May, 1935, they were above the average high

prices and showed that there would be a bull campaign.

look at the cycles on the other side of the Chart, in the 6th year of the 20-year cycle, or the 6th % T# Q9 A2 j9 J0 F+ j( _6 e0 n# U

there was a rally into June, followed by a sharp decline to low in July, with the , {7 T. S' T$ u
bottom just slightly higher than the low of May. From this low there was an 6 q+ f) G6 O7 E" b5 b$ q: E

Now, when I get ready to make up my Forecast for 1936, I will consider all of the cycles. I
5 W& G* S: u0 E Mwill go back and also check the 7-year cycles, the 14-year and 15-year cycles, which is half of $ X" b8 ?0 D1 F. B1 a+ h
the 30-year cycle. But, at this writing, with my knowledge and experience of the future 8 j7 Z) s0 M, i" m5 @
cycles, I expect the 1896 cycle to repeat in 1936.; Y, Y6 d: C) F/ a$ K6 A; y' O9 ^
$ F5 J9 W V# I j$ b: n6 L
1936 is likely to be a very uncertain election year just as it was in 1896, when the Bryan silver 0 |' v* O& J7 H9 T
scare caused a panicky decline into August. There is a possibility of a three-cornered fight, + B6 r' J- r8 S
with two Democratic presidential candidates and one Republican. There certainly is going to ' `2 D" l( F( u; u# L
be a time during 1936 when the investors are going to get scared and speculators are going to
1 @4 n5 u g8 V& Gget scared and sell stocks, causing sharp declines.
1 F9 h0 G. ?* T
1 s @1 T3 T, a2 J: K8 UMy opinion, at this writing, is that the first decline will start in the month of January and wind $ \: u3 x6 |5 \. h2 \& _3 j- ]% m
up with a sharp decline. February – the market may drift along in a narrow, trading range
3 ?: b! {! {8 L8 ?5 ]; cwith some rallies, but there will be another decline in the month of March, just as there was in
9 {/ T. Q% T" B2 E4 S2 X" a, A1926. I am confident that there will be another break in the months of May and June, % |5 Q' V: M) a7 x
especially in the latter half of May, as this will be running out four years from the 1932 low - e, \/ p p/ `1 A$ e+ R4 M' k
and 6 years from April, 1930 high, all of which are indications of important changes in trend.
" N6 M( x" U9 _
- t: b3 k( d* rWe know that presidential nominations will take place in July, therefore this is a month to / S& h! a5 m9 Y4 u5 h- Q0 z3 [3 i
watch for uncertainties and declines, unless sharp declines have come before that time. The S1 ?9 P+ z+ d* P$ j- j
ending of the cycle from 1896 in August is quite important and regardless of how high or how ' C* O6 u! c) w E! l" w
low stocks are, there are likely to be some sharp declines before the end of August. Again, in
! }4 x( y" d: \/ ?the last half of September, uncertain conditions and possibility of sharp declines are indicated.
: o& c; y: Q3 k. T0 t' LThis may mark the last low and an election rally may start if there are indications of a change

will happen.. S- s ?7 {5 E" H: ~

September, October, and November are all important because these months are 7 years from " [: D0 m- n8 A1 ?+ T2 d; V9 j
the top in September, 1929 and 7 years from the panicky decline in October and November, / [. m5 O$ Q# c
1929. I would expect a rally to take place after the election in November, which would last
1 v9 e( v3 {( q0 h$ hanyway until the early part of December. If conditions show signs of improvement and if the
