Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thor,In light of your quote "...the dollar is expected to strengthen already from the third week of November 2009 as the present transit affliction by 6th lord Jupiter of the natal Sun in the SAMVA USA chart lifts and transit Sun becomes strong in transit." I thought I would share another supporting factor in the form of current investor psychology. For any one that is interested in trading I think it is critical that any SA analysis be supplemented with studies of psychology and technical trends ( and fundamental analysis if you dare!). Sri Choudhry has said that SA is not a television set and expecting to derive such a fine level of forecasting detail from any SA chart for trend determination and trading purposes ignores the complexity and interrelationships of too many variables. With that in mind, here are some interesting developments occurring all at once:Jake Bernstein's Daily Sentiment Index/DSI (www.trade-futures.com) is among one of the most respected for gauging investment psychology for a wide variety of tradeable instruments. He has been tracking sentiment for dozens of instruments for over 20 years and his DSI has become well-respected for helping to accurately gauge the extremes in psychology that frequently coincide with trend changes.. For example, DSI for the S & P 500 stock index reached low single digits in March of this year showing the outright panic and gloom of investors yet coincident with a major trend change and rally of 60%+. Likewise, when everyone is too optimistic due to an extended price advance, the risks are higher...as is presently indicated by the very high DSI for the S & P 500 today. Seen here for the S & P 500:http://www.tradersnarrative.com/sentiment-overview-week-of-november-13th-2009-3215.htmlSince this summer and until present, the DSI for the US Dollar has shown some of the least bullish/optimistic levels ever seen. Such low levels of optimism have historically coincided with major bottoms in the USD. Dollar bashing has become the mainstream fodder with "death of the dollar" and other such talk becoming commonplace.http://www.tradersnarrative.com/us-dollar-sentiment-contrarian-bullish-2887.htmlAn interesting corollary to the above is that the DSI for Gold is now some of the highest levels of optimism ever recorded in its 20+ year history! In other words, gold investors have become manic. The question is...who is left to buy if nearly 100% are already bullish? Watch out below! Both of these factors suggest that public sentiment has become too polarized in both of these areas and they are ripe for major trend reversals. This plays well with an outlook for deflationary forces that will take hold of the global economy as the debt spiral of many decades unwinds.Not exactly SA but a little color...Regards,Matt Cosmologer <cosmologerTo: SAMVA Sent: Thu, November 19, 2009 4:50:34 PMRe: Strength of the dollar Hello list, Stocks down and dollar up.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hello dear Matt. Indeed, the psychological shifts take place exactly as described by you. The astrology of financial markets is complex as influences that are global in nature, are involved. Moreover, the strain seen a mundane chart can manifest either as a very low price level or as a significant change to a lower level.

Sri Choudhry has said that SA is not a television set and expecting to derive such a fine level of forecasting detail from any SA chart for trend determination and trading purposes ignores the complexity and interrelationships of too many variables. With that in mind, here are some interesting developments occurring all at once:Jake Bernstein's Daily Sentiment Index/DSI (www.trade-futures.com) is among one of the most respected for gauging investment psychology for a wide variety of tradeable instruments. He has been tracking sentiment for dozens of instruments for over 20 years and his DSI has become well-respected for helping to accurately gauge the extremes in psychology that frequently coincide with trend changes.. For example, DSI for the S & P 500 stock index reached low single digits in March of this year showing the outright panic and gloom of investors yet coincident with a major trend change and rally of 60%+. Likewise, when everyone is too optimistic due to an extended price advance, the risks are higher...as is presently indicated by the very high DSI for the S & P 500 today. Seen here for the S & P 500:http://www.tradersnarrative.com/sentiment-overview-week-of-november-13th-2009-3215.htmlSince this summer and until present, the DSI for the US Dollar has shown some of the least bullish/optimistic levels ever seen. Such low levels of optimism have historically coincided with major bottoms in the USD. Dollar bashing has become the mainstream fodder with "death of the dollar" and other such talk becoming commonplace.http://www.tradersnarrative.com/us-dollar-sentiment-contrarian-bullish-2887.html An interesting corollary to the above is that the DSI for Gold is now some of the highest levels of optimism ever recorded in its 20+ year history! In other words, gold investors have become manic. The question is...who is left to buy if nearly 100% are already bullish? Watch out below! Both of these factors suggest that public sentiment has become too polarized in both of these areas and they are ripe for major trend reversals. This plays well with an outlook for deflationary forces that will take hold of the global economy as the debt spiral of many decades unwinds.Not exactly SA but a little color...Regards,Matt Cosmologer <cosmologerSAMVA Sent: Thu, November 19, 2009 4:50:34 PMRe: Strength of the dollar Hello list, Stocks down and dollar up.

The IMF confirms that there is a carry trade going on involving low cost borrowing in dollars in the USA with the funds being reinvested abroad in higher yielding assets. As some have warned, if the dollar were to strengthen, this would result in losses for the speculators. However, the story also suggests US interest rates are likely to remain week until mid 2010 which is consistent with the inference being drawn last week based on the transit of Jupiter through the sign of Aquarius and 8th house in the SAMVA USA chart (late December 2009 to early May 2010). If so, the carry trade could continune until the interest rates would begin to rise. Once US interest rates were seen to be rising and the economy reviving, the dollar could strenghten quite a bit. While it is notoriously hard to forecast asset price changes due to the global influences, we can at least say that based on an analysis of the SAMVA USA chart, that the dollar is expected to strengthen already from the third week of November 2009 as the present transit affliction by 6th lord Jupiter of the natal Sun in the SAMVA USA chart lifts and transit Sun becomes strong in transit. IMF Signals Record-Low U.S. Rates Funding Global ‘Carry Trade’ Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- The International Monetary Fund signalled record low U.S. interest rates are funding global “carry trades†and the dollar is still overvalued as concerns mount that new financial imbalances are forming. “There are indications that the U.S. dollar is now serving as the funding currency for carry trades,†the IMF said in a report published on Nov. 7. “These trades may be contributing to upward pressure on the euro and some emerging-economy currencies.†While the dollar “has moved closer to medium-run equilibrium,†it is still “on the strong side.†With investors able to borrow at near-zero rates in the U.S., some economists are concerned that markets may become distorted as traders plow those funds into riskier assets. Nouriel Roubini, the economist who forecast the financial crisis in 2006, said Nov. 4 that investors are milking the “mother of all carry trades.†“U.S. interest rates look to remain near zero through the first half of 2010 at the very least, which provides traders plenty of time to continue with carry trades,†said Boris Schlossberg, director of currency research at the online currency trader GFT Forex in New York. “Labor-market conditions are still very challenging in the U.S., and the rest of the world is improving faster.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hello Rajeev, The transits in the SAMVA USA chart continue to give a mixed picture. As once mentioned, to analysis financial prices requires a very detailed examination of all the influences in a chart, and these are continually changing. On the positive side, transit 2L Sun moves out of 1° orb of transit 8L Saturn's aspect later today, in an applying conjunction to 10th lord Mars. Meanwhile, transit 10th lord Mars is in the MEP of 1H, albeit debilitated, where it aspects natal 2nd lord Sun. Transit 3rd lord Mercury is in the MEP of the 5th house. Transit 4th lord Venus is in old age in Libra, about to enter Scorpio and 5th house tomorrow. Transit 1st lord Moon moves out of the 8th house and into Pisces and 9th house tomorrow. On the negative side, transit Moon will be under aspect of natal Jupiter tomorrow and transit Mercury is about to become conjunct natal Saturn. Transit Mars is also now conjunct transit Jupiter. Moreover, transit 6th lord Jupiter is moving closer into the aspect of natal Saturn, while transit Saturn is in applying aspect to natal Mars. That said, there may be some improvement later today and tomorrow, but the negative aspects are also likley to keep the market sentiments weighed down. It is good to keep in mind, that the analysis of one national chart does not account for the global influences, which are also important. In any event, we'll soon see how the dollar fares.

The dollar remains the weakest link.†http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087 & sid=a5ritflpCi34 & pos=6 Thor Cosmologer <cosmologerSAMVA Sent: Mon, November 2, 2009 3:02:18 PM More on predictions [1 Attachment][Attachment(s) from Cosmologer included below] Hello list, There are still considerable worries about the stability of the financial system. Nouriel Roubini, who accurately predicted the global financial crisis, has in recent weeks been warning of another financial calamity, involving the re-appreciation of the US dollar. Mother of all carry trades faces an inevitable bust November 1 2009 18:44 "Since March there has been a massive rally in all sorts of risky assets – equities, oil, energy and commodity prices...At the same time, the dollar has weakened sharply....while the US and global economy have begun a modest recovery, asset prices have gone through the roof since March in a major and synchronised rally...one day this bubble will burst, leading to the biggest co-ordinated asset bust ever...the dollar cannot fall to zero and at some point it will stabilise...But the longer and bigger the carry trades and the larger the asset bubble, the bigger will be the ensuing asset bubble crash...." http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9a5b3216-c70b-11de-bb6f-00144feab49a.html With Jupiter set to remain weak in transit until it enters Pisces on May 3, 2010, the monetary policy is likely to remain weak or ineffectual. One reading would be that interest rates would not be likely to rise much in the coming months, which would serve as a trigger. However, next summer, when serious afflictions take place in the SAMVA USA chart, involving - transit 6th lord Jupiter in early Pisces and 9th house will be in mutual aspect to natal 6th lord Jupiter in Scorpio and 5th house, from April 29, 2010 to February 2, 2011, becoming exact on May 27, 2010. This aspect suggests conflict or problems with the indications of Jupiter and the 6th house, including the management of monetary policy and financial market activity. - transit sub-period lord, 8th lord Saturn in early Virgo and 3rd house, aspects natal 6th lord Jupiter from February 21, 2010 to August 26, 2010. This aspect becomes exact on June 26, 2010. The aspect is suggestive of violence and disruption for the indications of Jupiter and the 6th house. - transit Saturn aspects transit Jupiter from April 30 to September 13, 2010, with the aspect becoming exact on August 16, 2010. The contact between these heavyweights of the planetary cabinet suggests violence or disasters. To add to the strain or problems of the abovementioned aspects is the very serious transit to natal aspects of stationary Ketu in the MEP of the 12th house to its natal counterpart in Libra and 4th house, as well as transit stationary Rahu in the 6th house to its natal counterpart in the MEP of the 10th house. Major problems could be expected from this aspect, with implications for the the financial markets and economy.

The coming transit station of Jupiter at 23° 10’ Capricorn will be interesting for the fact that it will connect into the charts of many important countries, including the USA, Israel, Iran, UK, India and Russia, suggesting some international tension at that time.
