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

Obonzo and his ‘RAT comrades are already practicing how to regurgitate, “Bush’s fault!” The low intelligence, unwashed masses will believe anything.
It’s all because of “blood moons” - which is nonsense.
Funny how often nonsense comes back to bite one on the A$$.
No hyberbole there, /s.
Seen today's Google logo animation?
Erased.
Funny, I didn't see any mention of blood moons in the article. Is there one out tonight?
Just between you and me, the market is going to double by the end of the month. The economy is booming. Dump all your cash into the market NOW! </sarc>
The one song responsible for the destruction of more car dashboards in the 1960’s than any other!
Kind of like how old-fashioned Islamic nonsense is having its way with the highly “evolved” technologically advanced, morally bankrupt secular world. Western civilization has given God the boot and embraced all manner of corruption and depravity. They truly believe they have driven Him out of the universe. There are consequences to such foolishness that affect every aspect of life. The economy is just one facet. Or so it seems to me.
I lost $6,000 from the $17,000 I had in my job 401K.
I’m really sorry to hear that. I think the smart money got out of the market before August 1. Lots of others are bailing out as well.
It’s nearly impossible to catch a falling knife. Don’t be the last one to unload. Preservation of capital is king. Unfortunately inflation is in the not too distant future to further undermine our savings. IMHO.
If I’ve seen one prediction like this, I’ve seen a thousand.
Then when one happens to coincide with an actual event, almost never, the predictor claims foresight.
Dumb luck is more like it.
Enjoy life. Let others be miserable for you. It costs you nothing.
You lost nothing unless you sold.
Hang in there.
I didn’t sale in the last two crashes and both times what was left wasn’t enough to buy a dinner for two from Outback.
WND has been on about this blood moon and related nonsense for a while. Blood moon is mentioned in the article.
Did the stock funds come back?
They closed out the account as there wasn’t enough money in it.
I love life and am thankful everyday to the One who gives us life. I guess I just hate for people to suffer any more than they have to. There are just too many people trying to hard to enjoy life and ignore reality.
God is in control. It's everyone else that seems to be trying to deny reality while our leaders have hit the self destruct button too many times.
Wonderful.
I’m sure a lot of folks did really well with their 401(k) 403(b) or whatever accounts, but it seems I’ve know a number of folks who didn’t.
I wonder what the overall overage of success with those accounts is.
Makes me wonder if it wasn’t some sort of scam from the get-go.
You know how the markets have gone up over the last seven or so years. I had money in a fund, and it had very little growth over that period.
Very strange. You would think it would have gone up by 50%. No such luck.
Jonathan Cahn has been saying this for years. Something is going to happen.
