Most major US financial panics fell in the 9/56 year cycle, including the upheavals of 1792, 1819, 1837, 1857, 1873, 1884, 1893, 1920, 1929, 1931, 1933, 1980, 1987 and 2007. Such trends, in turn, are firmly based on Moon Sun cycles, a finding that has been fully covered in two market timing books (see subsequently). This is a unique view of the business cycle, which hopefully you will find both informative and penetrating. Two books on market timing are available via this web site. A third book is currently being completed and will be the last in the series. I have spent years studying the Moon Sun hypothesis and it is time to explore other interests.
Corrections and research suggestions most
appreciated.

In
1984, I read with great interest David Williams’ book Financial Astrology. It proved highly stimulating and set me on a
course of studying the business cycle. After much research, Williams’
work was found to be invalid. Although fascinating, the larger planets in
the solar system could not be correlated with the timing of major
financial crises or the business cycle generally. Thus, Williams' findings
were negated as having any practical use in market forecasting. However, what
did stand out was his coverage of J M Funk’s 56 year panic cycle. This
consisted of three sequences, in which major US financial crises happened
every 56 years. In the 100 years to 1930, these three sequences contained
6 years, in which occurred five of the worst panics in US economic
history. Truly amazing! Ensuing assessments found that financial distress
occurred
quite regularly in patterns based
on multiples of 9 and 56 years. The mass mood of a population is
postulated to oscillate between optimism (a rising market) and fear (a
falling market) in accordance with Moon Sun
cycles. The crisis occurs when there is a sudden shift in sentiment from
greed to fear. How these cycles actually function remains a great unknown
and accurate market forecasting cannot be made from the findings achieved
to date. This
was very frustrating and I feel
my efforts have been only partly successful. Hopefully, other cycle
enthusiasts will take up the challenge where I have left off. If I had
been able to unravel the 9/56 year cycle completely,
the market timing books would never
have been published. Having this vital information would be a license to
print money through market speculation and fame as an investment guru. How well the 9/56 year panic cycle and the Moon Sun hypothesis holds up to the test of time remains to be seen. It needs to be assessed by others in further studies and thereby vindicated or negated. It will be very interesting to see the outcome of this process. Given the radical nature of the 9/56 year cycle, conservative elements in economics and the sciences will denigrate or simply ignore this theory, regardless of its intrinsic worth. So be it. Such responses are always evident in the face of radical theories that contradict the dominant paradigms. Alas, conservatives are always slow learners. By definition, they cannot cope with new ideas, not even good new ideas.
