For market timers... this article is worth studying.

Martin Armstrong from the Princeton Economic Institute
armstrongdefensefund.org

Both 2000.7 (July 2000) and 2002.85 (Oct 2002) have been direct and accurate trend reversal markers.

January 2005.0 (Jan 2005) is another marker.
January 3, 2005, stands as a high.

According to Armstrong's cycle model, the yearly high is in place and no new high is expected in 2005. This will be a year of consolidation and correction, not a bullish scenario.

The next projection for trend change is 2006.075 (January 27, 2006).

Looking back to 1990... his work is reasonably accurate, but some trend reversals are weak and subsiquent price trends are weak and the old highs/lows are often taken out.

In any case... not complete follow through, but the work is interesting and uses Fibonacci numerical sequences.

My own opinion... and FWTW... this years Jan trend reversal marker will turn out weak and be taken out... with 2005 being a bullish year, however his work cannot be discounted and his expected high is in place as defined by Armstrong.
