There's some helpful planetary fodder for you all this coming month.

...Meanwhile, from May 3 to May 5 we see a massive line-up of seven planets in Taurus, sure to bring headline news not only in astrological circles but in astronomical ones, too. This will not happen again in our century. We see four, sometimes five planets line up like apples in a slot machine, but six or seven? Rarely. Almost unheard of. The only time in recent memory when seven planets occupied the same constellation (Aquarius) was in February, 1962.

Let's talk about money. Taurus rules both money and the land and its resources. Due to the Grand Conjunction, we may see a rocking commodities' market on the one hand; and a rocky market for silver, gold, other metals and gems, gas and oil on the other hand. Later in the month, on May 28, there is an exact conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn which will also figure largely in financial issues. This is an exceedingly rare (every once-in-twenty-years) and important aspect.

By the time it arrives, the stock and bond market will see a self-correction, bringing undervalued stocks up and the overvalued down. Be very careful with investments this month, and don't put any money on a get-rich-quick scheme. This is a financially unstable month for everyone, so it's best to remain conservative until the dust settles.

happy hunting...

<<well, once again you are not looking at Soros's long term record. in spite of frequent high profile losses his returns have outpaced the S&P by a wide margin over the long term.>>

Damn right! He didn't start with an inherited fortune you know! Listen there isn't a successful investor alive that didn't make a BOATLOAD of mistakes...except BGR, apparently!
So he lost a few billion. He's down to, what, maybe 10 billion? I'll take losses like that anyday!
