Steve Puetz looked at eight previous crashes in various markets from the Holland Tulip
Mania in 1637 through the Tokyo crash in 1990. He noted that market crashes
tend to be lumped near the full moons that are also lunar eclipses. In fact,
he states, the greatest number of crashes start after the first full moon
after a solar eclipse -when that full moon is also a lunar eclipse . . Once
the panic starts, Puetz notes, it generally lasts from two to four weeks.
The tendency has been for the markets to peak a few days ahead of the full
moon, move flat to slightly lower --waiting for the full moon to pass. Then
on the day of the full moon or slightly after, the brunt of the crash hits
the marketplace."

There are two lunar eclipses scheduled for 1999, on January 31 and July 28.
There are two solar eclipses scheduled, on February 16 and August 11. If a
1999 crash is to take place within the above discovered parameters as
delineated by Mr. Puetz, such a crash should begin between January 25 to
February 3 or between July 22 to July 31. When we say "such a crash should
begin," we mean a top of some kind leading to a decline of 35-50% within a
few short weeks could begin within those time frames.

The full moon in August completes a Saros ( an 18 year lunar cycle) and that could heighten the chance of dramatic mkt activity, in July.

and Watch AUG 11th for a top, bottom or high volatility day.

Puetz' historical research is accurate, what happens next month remains to be seen.
