LOL!!!

This will be an important week for many financial markets due to Friday’s release of the Payroll and Unemployment numbers - unless they don’t release due to shutting down parts of the government next week. If they are released, traders will be watching very carefully, for they may yield clues as to whether the Fed will begin tapering its QE program, or remain extremely accommodative in the hopes of getting inflation back up to 2% and employment higher.


Those reports are due to come out just before the new moon, which occurs later in the day on October 4. This will be an important new moon for many reasons. First, it is in Libra. The new moon in Libra has the highest historical correlation to sharp reversals in U.S. stocks of any lunar combinations with the Sun in Libra, according to our studies. Also, this new moon will form a T-square with the Uranus and Pluto square. That is, the Sun will form a waning square to Pluto on October 1, and an opposition to Uranus on October 3. The threat of a government shutdown becomes ever more real when the Uranus-Pluto square is touched off by another transit like the Sun. However, transiting Mars is also very important next week, for it will set off the Mercury-Pluto square in the stock exchange chart, known as the “Buttonwood” chart. Usually a sharp decline in stock prices ends nearby. Perhaps this means the employment reports are favorable. Perhaps it means Congress and White House do negotiate a debt-ceiling extension, but with the new moon in Libra in hard aspect to Uranus and Pluto, I wouldn’t bet on that last outcome.

Maybe Congress needs a break? Works really tough right now.
Obongo needs a family vacation too...

Glad the taxes are paying off.

next up... 4 days, martial law.

This morning I received a research note from a private bank I work with occasionally.Buried in the text was a call for lower gold prices, and the analysts listed five reasons why they think gold prices will decline. Here’s what they had to say:


1) “We expect the scaling back of [the Fed's] stimulus to happen this year at the December meeting. A reduction in monetary stimulus . . . shall reduce the attractiveness of gold as a zero-income asset.”



2) “Inflation pressures in the developed world should remain subdued, lowering demand for gold as an inflation-hedge.”



3) “We expect the US recovery to accelerate, reducing the attractiveness for gold as a safe-haven asset.”



4) “A subsequent improvement in investor sentiment shall also reduce demand for gold as safe-haven asset.”



5) “Physical demand from India should be discouraged by the old import duty increases and other measures that aim to reduce the current account deficit.”
...

do you think so?

Watch Italy.
