Relentless DEFLATION
Increasing US Dollar buying power as measured by falling real estate prices, stock prices, most asset prices, and falling treasury yields; Periods of excessively negative 3 month treasury yields
Continued transfer of taxpayer funds, high yield preferred stock, risky loan guaranties, and asset holdings to the Federal Reserve and connected bankers in the face of taxpayer clamor; result: increased strain on commercial and consumer credit accelerates deflation
Main Stream Media to continue promoting Federal Reserve and banker agenda: more debt, more debt, more debt
5,000+ bank failures
More bank consolidations intended to shift FDIC insurance obligations to common stockholder losses
FDIC bailout/restructuring that compromises insurance payouts
Massive "New Deal 2.0" in order to transfer maximum wealth from the poor (taxpayers) to the Federal Reserve, connected bankers and corporations, and to benefit politicians; result: same as the original New Deal, economic depression
Supreme Court Increased to 11 Justices by 2015, unless the conservative majority yields first
Higher mileage vehicles go cheap and dirty, not expensive and "Green"
Continuation of 2007+ global cooling
Seems like our market crash of 11/07 - ? is taking 2-3 times longer than the 1929 crash.
ReplyDeleteDo you agree or not? Do you think this is due to increased government interference with the market compared to 1929? Do you think actions in the market will be more prolonged/drawn-out compared to 1929?
Certainly the DJIA graphs, outside of their relative time periods, are eerily consistent.
Yes, that is due to being of (at least) 1 higher degree.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it is due to increased gov interference.
In EW terms, higher degree = larger number of people participating. Gov = lots of people.
That's exactly why this crash will take decades to fully bottom. My Dow 3800 forecast is not a guess. 3800 takes us to the retracement guideline of similar degree, or the completion of the A wave.
The subsequent B and C wave is how nature unfolds the next degree. If we had good data (I don't), the 1836 crash would be the best smaller scale fractal match, end to end.
Comparing 1929-1932 is really comparing a Wave 4 to a Wave A-B-C, so the degrees/time scale won't match.
Excellent fractal analysis. Kudos, FDRAOA.
ReplyDeleteThis is great work.
ReplyDeleteI also was struggling with a 1929 comparison.
How would you analyze the gold fractal?
Have you had a good laugh yet today FDR?
ReplyDeleteJames Bull(t)ard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis said in an interview with the Financial Times that the deflation risk in the US has passed.
The magnificent mainstream media, policy wonk and punditry contrarian indicators just keep on coming.
"This is great work. I also was struggling with a 1929 comparison. How would you analyze the gold fractal?"
ReplyDeleteThanks, I posted that here:

If you want an even bigger pcture, realize that we are now in the C wave at the end of a complete 12345ABC cycle, so it will fractally match the smaller degree C wave of the wave 2 within the 12345ABC.
That's the Wave 2 that I illustrated in the link above--look in the mid-1970's.
FDR,
ReplyDeleteIs it also possible to "fractally" analyze the behavior of Silver??
It doesn't seen to be as easy to se as the one in Gold.
"The chart below shows a comparison of the Dow Jones Industrial average percentage change
ReplyDeletefor the periods of September 1929 - 1940 (blue) versus September 2007 - today (red), rebased on the respective peak days."

This percentage change side-by-side graph looks quite a bit different. It makes it appear as if we are not following the 29 crash. Any comments you have of this kind of comparison graph would be appreciated.
Thanks.
