DAX / DOW spread has popped over 6500 worth a look

Hi readers.

Sorry for the delay posting had to move as the MERS virus is going to become very serious so moved to Europe for a good 6 months.
I have read that it's spread to Thailand and China, so media will be very little on coverage of it until it spreads to Japan.
In the markets there has been little doing.
One nice day up and the a dull for a couple of days, then a nice one day drop and a dull again.
Astrologically not much until the 30th for the market where we will see some nice window dressing for financial year end bonuses.
Putting that aside ,the spread on the DAX and the DOW has pushed
out due to the Greeks playing cat and mouse with the Germans.
People Greeks have no cards to play poker, so there in a loose loose situation.
It's has been reported tho that there is some insider trading by Greek ministers partners making millions on the market..You got to love politicians.

Metals not doing much, either is oil.
Grains we might see soon some action, next month ( July)

To the Australian readers be ready for end of next month (July) when your banking sector will start reducing profit forecast, due to sluggish growth..

To the American readers, of all the people Donald has put his hand up for president, are you guys serious.
Guy has files for bankruptcy twice I believe or more.. Great role model.
No idea of foreign policy, he could isolate the U.S.  from its partners once and for all.

Bush came close to that, Obama repaired it and now again going down this path.
I haven't done his astrology yet so will look into it.

The other contender is a family name Bush.
This guy can't win and won't so don't waste your breath on him and your money supporting him.
Sun Pluto at 24 degrees in his 10th house is a ticking time bomb.
If the U.S. rig the election for this guy to get in the US will be in at least 2 or may be even 3 wars in his time as president.

The republicans need to look outside the box not continue recycling candidates.

As I stated before it will be very difficult to defeat Hillary Clinton.
She has grown up a hell of a lot in the last 5 years.
Some people never change and are set in the ways!
This woman has had both her Saturn and her Pluto run through her life and has learnt a great deal of empathy.
She is ready to be a good president, not an egotistic smart ass, like some of the current contenders of the Republican Party.

Just a quick note

Hi readers
You will have noticed by now that the markets are around the same levels as they where before the retrograde.
We have had so much news out during that periods so get ready for the revisions to come next.
In South korea things are going so well that the government use the MERS virus to cut rates.
Sure things are becoming very serious now in South Korea, but to cut rates and tie it to the virus outbreak ! PLEASE.
COUNTRIES NEAR BY NEED TO BECAREFUL as serious number of people are leaving.
The western world has no idea of it at the present time but here in Asia believe me we are all very aware of it .

We have also seen many of the major banking institutions announce employment cuts.
Sure computers are taking over people's jobs but there is ment to be a boom going on in the markets around the world so why are we cost cutting?

Around the world we are seeing employment come down, are jobs really being created or are people just sick of applying for benefits.
Even here in Singapore people are no longer applying for assistance.
I think a little bit of a reality check is needed, government with there investment bankers can only pull the wool over people's eyes for so long until cracks begin to appear.

Here the drums are beating over foreign ownership of property, with the government about to make a major announcement.
It might only be singapore citizen ownership.
That would collapse the market here!
I have noticed also the drums in Australia have also started with the citizen ownership and negative gearing sounds.
Citizen ownership will burst the bubble back to the 1990 levels as there isn't enough buyers to take up the slack.
Where as the negative gearing would drop prices a good 50% overnight and then the government could sell the affordability play for the election.. First home buyer crap.
Australia's feel for the battlers..
That's why Australia still has a benefit system for as long as you want.
5 years, 10 or even generational.
Where as around the world it's for a small period of time to help you out while you get back on your feet.

OECD COMMENTS after euro explodes 2 days before. Got to love it

Hi readers

Emails are asking questions so here are some answers which some individuals won't approve of but its the facts.
Australian ASX is continuing to be liquidated by overseas funds.
While many believe the market is a transparent markets it's not.
Overseas have been liquidating portfolios and locals are not stepping up to take the slack.
Have the fundementals changed that much in a fortnight to freak out superfund managers.
If they where that eager to buy the market at the 5750-5800 area now is a bargin at the 5500 area.
So come to terms with reality markets around the world are not a level playing field.
That's why you have to be smart and understand the market your in.
The Australia economy has been living on credit for the last 4 years and time is running out.
Time has come to live within your means.

The OECD is lowering growth around the world and is now asking the fed not to raise rates?
Really it's the world that weak...LOL You now realise it ....
The U.S. needs to raise rates to reload for the next Stockmarket shake up.

Just so your all aware , none of the real reforms went through from Subprime collapse.
The investment banks are up to there eyeball in it again .
The only thing that changed for the public eyes was that they got out of there own hedgefunds.

To the property believers, the only reason property hasnt collapsed yet is in China a house on a 600square block near the city could fetch for around $10 million, so to buy land and a huge house near the city under $5 million is a bargain in Australia . But that's now about to end with the new government restriction coming in on Chinese lenders, money is no longer for free, for these activities

As for gold , I am not a believer of the gold story at all, it's just to park your money when there is inflation... At the present time there is the potential of deflation. So it's a dead commodity.
Your life doesn't depend on it like grains.
I had a look at the supply and demand levels and there at record highs.
There is way too much of it and sales of it are coming down, yet supply is just pumping out.
I haven't changed my view gold over $1000 is extremely expensive.

Half way through the Mercury retrograde.

Hi readers

Hope your ok with the Mercury retrograde motion presently.
Not too many confusions.
We see the US showing numbers of a slowdown in the economy.
While this is expected, there are serious fundamentals wrong with the economy.
So the question comes back to how can you justify the high valuations?
Even APPL is very overpriced!
All I can say is astrology does not lie.

We are seeing some tightening of money by the banks which I might say is now forced by them regulatory wise.
You still need insurance for everything under the sun ( life, house, loan, income) and you are only able to borrow I believe it's 80% of whatever you pay for the property.
I believe before it was a case of borrowing up to 95% of the prices, plus the insurance spaghetti, and signing over access to you super/401k.

Mid last week I went to a conference and meet up with some bankers from the UK and Australia in Singapore.
85-90% of the morgage holders only pay interest.
They don't have the capacity to pay the capital also.
The rude awakening is as of the 1st of July banks are going to reevaluate property and all holders will need to have the 20% equity in there properties.
This is due to regulation which has been force on them.
But here is the beauty, it needs to be done in an orderly fashion, without panic to the market.
How cool is that!!!
Does someone know something?    LOL

In regards to the market.
Only for the U.S. market at the present time.
2nd is a good down 1+% day
With the full moon on that day should be a bottom.
3rd,4th,5th are drift days to the up side slightly.
Until the new moon on the 15-16th depending where you live please trade small.

How stupid are central banks.

Hi readers

Economy's around the world thrive on marco economic reform.
We live in a new world where past tools no longer work.
In Australia we have seen interest rates cut how many times and yet growth is almost non existent.
What central banks around the world don't understand is that this premertive tool to boost the economy no longer works.
All you are doing is diluting pensioners from obtaining interest on there bank deposits and letting the wealthy become even more wealthy..
Perfect example look at the U.S. model.
It's a complete illusionary idea that the economy has restored growth.
Numbers are being manipulated to make the economy look rosy.
Fact is ask how many people have full time work in your street, (38 hour weeks not 18)
If housing is growing why is California or any other state in the US apart from New York, vacancies are over 50%.
Remember last year when we said that hedge funds bought homes and sat on them, well there just starting to let them slowly go, at same to lower prices.
I got told of this yesterday by a HSBC Fund which bought 1300 homes in the US.
Could end up loosing 100-240 million.
So where is this BULLSHIT growth.

In Australia people are in so much debt that a small cut is a life saver to many households.
But people aren't spending that to buy something else, there actually putting it on the mortgage.
Which is annoying government.
Figures which come out quarterly showed that 72% of mortgages have defaulted at least once.
It's these figures that the RBA is looking at and scared shitless that if they don't do anything it will all collapse.
Retail spend, and housing starts are irrelevant, as more and more people buy online now not through foot stores, but they can't measure that.
Facts are it will take you at least 23 years of your working life to pay off your home.
That's without dependants or a wife.
What happened to 10 year!!!
Banks will never say it but they now have a new breed of slaves working for them.
They are fully aware that the majority of loans they write up can't pay, that's why they make sure you have life insurance, loan insurance and your super is tied up also.
Government around the world need to spend on infustructure and modern up there cities and create work for people, but that too isn't in there interests as they tax fuel and want congestion, the more the better.

Solutions..
Any business under 5 million in taxable income should not be paying tax as long as they are employing 10 people minimum.
So in Australia there are 3.2 million registered small business.. You do the maths people.
That's how you build a strong economy, not cutting rates and then  taxing from the other end.

In America 54.2 million registered small business.

It's the everyday people who are going to kick start economic growth, not the wealthy 2%.
There tight asses who are out to screw everyone for the dollar.
I know this as I am one too.
But what would I know I'm just a financial astrologer...



Mercury retrograde respect required

Hi readers.

At the present time we are seeing a very lopsided market.
You can basically witness where the money is flowing out from and where it's going.
The ASX200 is being drain while the U.S. is the beneficiary.

We are also people in a Mercury retrograde period which is basically 2 steps forward and 2 steps back.
This retrograde will bring a lot of arguments between couples, business colleague and people of financial authority.( bank manager).
Rejection will be at the forefront.
People please be humble.
Not the time to stand up and defend ones principals or ego, as reputation will suffer.

On the market front we are diving first and then exploding to the moon later is my reading of it.
Astrology is showing the following.
21st Down
22nd Down
25th Memorial Day .. Lucky because it's showing powerful move down.
26th down in the morning but recovering near the close.
27th up some what
28th up could be a good 2% move.
29th up and down day ... Down before open, then up during the day then down in the last hour.

Please note the above is all for the U.S. MARKETS.

Please respect the Mercury retrograde and trade with a quarter of you usual size.

Q&A

Hi readers

Just a few questions that got emailed to me at the same time.
Obviously new readers.

1. Financial astrology is just like another tool or indicator.
 How to use it is simple!
When the astrology is positive and your other technical analysis is also positive the trade could be true.
The more indicators that are showing the same move the more chance of it being right.

2. Financial astrology shows the emotional component of the market.
It's not a computer or technical program that can change it.
It is what it is!

3. Astrology will never tell you when to take profit, that is up to every persons personal risk tolerance.

4. Does Mercury retrograde shadows affect markets or decisions?
Until Mercury retrograde begins the shadow affects has no market influence.
For the amateur astrologers please when you have time go back and research it.. You'll find there has hardly ever been any serious event during this time.

The dark side which is after the retrograde has finished is the most dangerous time .
12 -24 hours after the retrograde period ends is the worst time for decisions.
Any company mergers or profit forecast tend to be deliberately misleading.

Hope the above assists in your understanding of financial astrology.
