    opinions regarding astrology for investing

    Do you use astrology for investing ? Yes or no & why

    I do not like be part of the herd when investing & was wondering how many use astrology for investing.

    I use it because my research indicates there is a connection.

    No, and I can't say I have ever heard of this.

    I am curious, what research do you have correlating/suggesting a connection?

    Causation != correlation? I've never heard of this connection before, can you explain your research?

    I have done a lot of research & I do not want to give some of it away.

    The fed Atlanta bank did research on geomagnetic storms & thier effects on stock prices & they determined there was a direct relationship. ( just like it effects the number of heart attacks & rusting of the pipelines)

    The foundation of the study of cycles which was formed after the crash of 1929 by some of the worlds richest men & polititions backing up some of the best scientists & universities in the United States seamed to think Astro physics effected the market.

    Some of the Astro traders such as Crawford have had amazing track records & often rated number one i.e., predict in advance to the day the 1987 high with the crash to follow, One of the only market timers to beat S&P buy & hold in the 1990s. Shorted the market in 2000- 20002 then went long, I think was the number one market timmer 2007 - 2009 being 200% during the decline then going long close to the bottom

    Arch Crawford has studied the effects of a high number of electrons in the ionosphere & says that a high number of electrons in the ionosphere from a solar flare causes stock market prices to fall & the statistics are to over whelmng to say
    there is no coincidence. ( @ the peak of the 87 crash they were @ one of the highest ever recorded number)

    @ the 1987 the market bottomed to the minute of a double grand cross in heliocentric
    With in 24hrs of the 89 % drop in the dow from the 1929 top to the 1932 bottom there was a grand cross

    The highest number of declining stocks over advancing stocks in the 2007 to 2009 decline occured on the day of a grand cross.

    Man seams to over rate his power i.e., in the past green house gasses were 9-10 times higher & the earth was cooler & the biggest pollutter is not man but valcanoes. Yet he thinks he can cause global warming. When a high number of planets corragate on one side of the sun the epi center is literally pulled of center causing multiple disterbances on the suns surface that has been hyped as global warming as of late.

    When you look back on History, it is often easy to spot patterns. I remember studying psychology and they pointed out humans like patterns, it part of the way we think. If we look at something long enough, we will find a pattern, even if none actually exists.

    You may want to check out one of the "Great Courses" audio lectures called "Your Deceptive Mind: A Scientific Guide to Critical Thinking Skills". Most Libraries carry these type of programs. Cheaper than finding the time to go to university for a course.

    I strongly doubt that you have such a winning system but you're not willing to share it. If it was truly a great system you would be making a killing in the stock market and so what if a few other people do the same? On the other hand if you were trying to feel out interest for a subscriber model where people would pay you for your "advice" that would explain why you don't want to share it.

    I only recently figured out the system & started using it & past performance is no garentee of future performance. The system is not perfect.

    It does not matter how good a system is there is no garrentee it will make all those using it money & most will likely lose money trading it i.e., by not taking all the trades & or poor money management.

    I remember reading about a study where they had found a correlation between the number of newborns in a remote village in in europe and the total market return.

    I am just waiting on this year's report before deciding whether I buy or I sell...

    Lol... astrology.

    I suppose trusting your money to astrology is probably as effective as trusting it to a professional money manager. Has anyone ever done a comparison among active money managers vs. 'unique' strategies like astrology, or tea leaves?

    Interestingly an investor I know holds some respect for astrological trading and points to W D Gann as an example. I am presently googling, but I fear all the science stuff will go right over my head....
