Get ready – because the best of times are over and the worst of times may have just begun.
That is the assessment of an Israeli mathematician who has studied the biblical Shemitah cycle as it applies to the financial markets.
Thomas Pound is an educator and mathematician who applies his statistical wizardry to the markets.
The Dow fell another 468 points, or 3 percent, Tuesday, providing fresh evidence for investors the sell-off which began in August was no mirage. It is likely to continue in September.
Only eight more trading days remain until the dreaded Elul 29, which is the final day of the Shemitah year, known as “wipe out day” on the Hebrew calendar.
Since Elul 29 falls on a Sunday, Sept. 13, when the markets are closed, the rest of this week and the following week could bring the most devastating losses. Another theory is that the period of Sept. 14-28 right after Elul 29 and leading up to a scheduled blood moon (on Sept. 27-28) could be worth watching.

Proof in the numbers
Several years ago, Pound corresponded with a financial adviser who was using a decennial analysis to determine which years were optimum for investor returns. According to the theory behind decennial analysis, which was first proposed in the book “Irrational Exuberance” by Yale Economics professor Robert Shiller, years ending in the number eight yielded better returns than other years, according to the Israeli publication Breaking Israel News. Years that ending in seven were less lucrative.
Armed with 144 years of market data going back to 1871, Pound set out to test the validity of this

I don’t want to see people suffer either, but if you listen to every one of these predictions, you’ll never get anywhere.
There’s a new one every other week.
There are times when things are pretty clearly headed south like in 2007 going into 2008. It’s very seldom that clear.
I consulted the Magic 8 Ball and it says no way, dude.
Something has to happen the market is a house of cards build with money that was printed willy-neilly.
A market that goes up when ever the Feds say no interest rate increase and goes down a a hint of a increase is rigged.
You play in a rigged game what do you think is going to happen?
The bastards are plotting a means of stealing the rest with some crap program that will be labeled ObamaSave.
Get another 8 ball, because the one you got is certainly broken.
I blamed Obamacare for my company kicking me to the curb after 33 years of service. They have not stopped the layoffs. And, now they are renting out warehouse space and contracting out more of their jobs.
Hey, at least we only have to wait a month...
Generally, whatever I think the market will do in the future it does the opposite...
Never underestimate how much government will twist the “market” overriding the free market to get what they want in the near term.
“Get another 8 ball, because the one you got is certainly broken.”
Hardly. The Magic 8 Ball has been confirmed by Paul the German Octopus (deceased) whom we contacted through a seance.
The ghost of Paul O. insists that the Shemitah Cycle/Blood Moon circus is nothing more than a cheap con designed to fool the rubes.
Well we will see in several days if we have been sold a bill of goods by the prosperity gospel pimps.
“Enjoy life. Let others be miserable for you. It costs you nothing”.
Thanks. I needed that reminder.
Ah!,,, A Zimbabwe Winter... for cold hard cash..
We will rebuild.
I am a proud shareholder of both Enron and GM.
Safest stocks in the market I was told.
George Noory had a guest on Coast to Coast talking about the Shmita in September. I think he said 23 September would be the big day. I don’t know that I believe it but his guess is probably as good as anybody else’s.
So this guy is making a fortune shorting the markets?
I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I’ve committed to him against that day.
2 Timothy 1:12 applies.
As “The Message” translation puts it:
But I have no regrets. I couldn’t be more sure of my ground—the One I’ve trusted in can take care of what he’s trusted me to do right to the end.
I remember my wife telling me she bought a bunch of Enron stock, talked into by several co-workers because it was a good get-rich deal. I yelled at her "Fool!", because I read of all the problems Enron was encountering. Sure enough, she and her co-workers lost thousands on the deal, which was more like a get-poor deal. I don't know why she listened to the co-workers, because they lost money on previous joint ventures. If it sounds too good to be true, then run away from it.
Guess I'll stock up on popcorn, meat, beer and soda. If things are going south, I might as well enjoy myself while it happens. If not, I'll still enjoy my time waiting for it (happily retired and have most bases covered).
You didn't "lose" it unless you moved what was left to another account.
If you haven't changed your distribution, then you're merely in the same boat as a lot of us are - waiting for the market to grow back, as it always has, just like after 2008.
Sit tight - relax.
Not caused by them, but they may be an indicator of a same time-frame event in the way the "Star of Bethlehem" was an indicator of the arrival of the Messiah.
Events on earth are not caused by celestial events, (except for those that have a physical link like the moon and tides, sun spots, or meteors and mass extinctions...).
