By placing the monthly high and low prices for each of these 20-year periods above each
2 r) n+ U+ ^7 Q3 w! \other, it is easy to see how the cycles repeat. The year of the cycles are marked from "1" to $ {. \! d' L" M; b0 q7 H
"20". Study the chart and note what happened in the 8th and 9th year of each cycle – that

and 60 years before, top was reached in July, 1869. If you will read my Annual Forecast for
' a' q6 a8 X2 \1929, you will see that I had figured the top must come not later than the end of August and 3 M9 v9 f% t' Y+ `7 Y) ]4 z+ ?
stated that a "Black Friday" would come in September. Following strictly the 1869 top, the : o* s% Y( I; q
top would have come in July, 1929, and some stocks did make top at that time. Following the - b2 q: E9 c B8 V. n
1909 top, we could expect top in August, and the actual high of the averages and many ; u( M2 b. u# `+ ? H4 e. L0 M# Q% o
individual stocks was reached on September 3, 1929. Going back to 1919, we find that the

just as they did in 1929. Therefore, you see how easy it was to follow this great advance and : E" }2 i0 a+ [' R+ j1 u% Q
determine when it would culminate. There is no other way, outside of using the 20 and 60- k8 ]0 l! r: V' n# w1 G

many other bottoms were reached around this time in other cycles. After the big decline from / f) m/ q: S2 W( h1 V

1935 FORECAST
8 l% ^0 y4 w. _6 |9 p0 cFiguring out the Forecast for 1935, we see on this 20-year Chart that we are running against ' X8 x( T e0 R1 Z/ S
1855, 1875, 1895, 1915. Therefore, we look to see what happened in those years. We find

( e8 S8 _4 S3 u! K/ s4 |Then, we would have a good guide in making out the Forecast for 1935, and we would know
" r) w3 C* q: iwhat months to watch for top and a change in trend. My Annual Forecast for 1935, which 1 G3 M* `& z% M; _/ F* R9 E

There are other ways of using this Chart to advantage. One method of determining the trend ' \0 s* b& i( v
is to compare the years of previous cycles in the same zone. For example: after the Dow-
. G# C6 }4 k, e+ l8 XJones 30 Industrial Averages crossed 108 in May, 1935, they were above the average high : j7 Z* U/ J1 U" k
price of all the previous years in the 15th-year zone. Therefore, the market indicated higher

1936 is likely to be a very uncertain election year just as it was in 1896, when the Bryan silver + k8 c1 Z3 m3 S; g

ending of the cycle from 1896 in August is quite important and regardless of how high or how
