1929 FORECAST) \5 L7 W( r: _) u5 W6 |
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
& | m4 F$ S4 M f; ]/ M5 U1929, you will see that I had figured the top must come not later than the end of August and 1 Y; m! q: \. ]( H6 J
stated that a "Black Friday" would come in September. Following strictly the 1869 top, the
$ @8 w& X6 R* a/ D& w* ?top would have come in July, 1929, and some stocks did make top at that time. Following the 8 M; s, c& u! {. k, T
1909 top, we could expect top in August, and the actual high of the averages and many
' A% J* R* v- sindividual stocks was reached on September 3, 1929. Going back to 1919, we find that the ; A) S: H; C& F
Averages made first top in July and a big decline followed, but extreme high was made in the
8 Z+ [9 d! \7 E: s0 B. Uearly part of November.( |/ r3 Y/ I9 V3 ]0 Y: Y

From all of these tops – 1869, 1909, and 1919 – sharp declines followed in the fall of the year,
$ }0 ]- y( c0 D8 e5 g5 N8 gjust as they did in 1929. Therefore, you see how easy it was to follow this great advance and
/ }5 J7 o$ Y P# d2 }" xdetermine when it would culminate. There is no other way, outside of using the 20 and 60-* b& e( l# r& X/ z. A& i6 c
year cycle that we could have forecast this great bull campaign and its culmination so closely ( J( b9 p4 R. u

After the 1869 top, stocks continued to decline and reached low in November, 1873. See how " o" g5 |& y3 p( M0 d& o5 n
many other bottoms were reached around this time in other cycles. After the big decline from $ y' D3 Z/ q" x; h
1929, notice that in October, 1933, the last low was reached on the Dow-Jones averages; then . l' j; ~! p* ?, Q) \ \+ A

Figuring out the Forecast for 1935, we see on this 20-year Chart that we are running against
" d7 P1 p8 f, K# a1855, 1875, 1895, 1915. Therefore, we look to see what happened in those years. We find

Then, we would have a good guide in making out the Forecast for 1935, and we would know
% U8 o9 a, K2 I; t/ Mwhat months to watch for top and a change in trend. My Annual Forecast for 1935, which
6 g& E/ [ N8 V/ lwas made up in October, 1934, indicated top for October 28 and a secondary top for

There are other ways of using this Chart to advantage. One method of determining the trend : g4 n0 ?# E# {# H/ h3 X9 B
is to compare the years of previous cycles in the same zone. For example: after the Dow-0 r4 b; W( V4 B1 h3 q/ N
Jones 30 Industrial Averages crossed 108 in May, 1935, they were above the average high
p! ^+ r2 D$ u' f# l( Wprice of all the previous years in the 15th-year zone. Therefore, the market indicated higher 3 b6 z7 B/ t/ G2 m- N
prices and showed that there would be a bull campaign.

Now, when I get ready to make up my Forecast for 1936, I will consider all of the cycles. I
: C2 s8 B1 E8 D* w$ l( H9 swill go back and also check the 7-year cycles, the 14-year and 15-year cycles, which is half of ; S1 f B5 C7 S) \ c! j
the 30-year cycle. But, at this writing, with my knowledge and experience of the future ' ^1 w% g! m( Q
cycles, I expect the 1896 cycle to repeat in 1936.

with some rallies, but there will be another decline in the month of March, just as there was in - }, i% G. q( w( E- ^, V: ^

watch for uncertainties and declines, unless sharp declines have come before that time. The $ Q9 p E" c6 Q: l4 [
ending of the cycle from 1896 in August is quite important and regardless of how high or how

September, October, and November are all important because these months are 7 years from 9 d* ]( n& X3 B8 C
the top in September, 1929 and 7 years from the panicky decline in October and November, 2 v5 v5 G" y+ F3 w- a
1929. I would expect a rally to take place after the election in November, which would last ( ?' l' G$ i9 h# n( f
anyway until the early part of December. If conditions show signs of improvement and if the
