Re: Martin Armstrong.

So the next turning point is 20 march 2008 ?

Hmm. I expect that most major corporations will know how the first quarter numbers will be then.

Japan's fiscal year ends 31 March, so by 20 March they may have figured out how to clean up the mess / cook the books / whatever.

I think a lot of heavy financial people are aware of the business cycles, and try to move with them. I expect this both reinforces the cycles and tends to keep the timing pretty tight, like all the individuals in a big band playing together.

Maybe not so spooky ?

I bet you can tell me, years in advance, the day your daughter will turn 18, and what month she will enter college. Even more amazingly, some of the funds that pay her tutition are being set aside in various forms today.

I am working for a semiconductor company again, which tend to have short cycles. Looking at some of our more obscure parts, the sales chart has peaks every four years. Not perfect peak every four years, but close.

So maybe reality, superstition, habits, market timing, money flows, and herd behavior all combine to keep this clock in time.
