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

Sounds like numerology.
When you see the star Sirius rising above the horizon it means fall is on the way. Autumn isn't caused by the rising of Sirius, it's a time-frame indicator (or, we could just look at a calendar....)
My company outsourced payroll, IT services, sold all property and outsourced facilities support. The stock department was closed and passed to an outside firm. The PBX systems were abandoned for IP phones with VOIP.
My apologies! I read the article rather quickly, but before I replied that "blood moon" wasn't in the article I did a quick word search for "blood" which caught the word in the comments, but must have started below the word in the article. I just redid the search and this time I spotted "blood" in the article.
Again, my apologies! I value my truth and accuracy and try not to jeopardize my credibility when I post on FR.
True. But it's been quite clear for a while now that September 2015 is going to be worse than what happened in 2008.
No worries! Have a good day.
Be Sirius. Lunar eclipses and other natural phenomena do not cause or foretell financial collapse.

LOL
I stay away from the market, because my investments alone would curse corporations and force them into insolvency.
Many people would be harmed...
I’ve been to the horse track several times. I study the past history of the nags I bet on, and their stats look better than all the rest.
Sure enough, the gates open and my nag is in the lead from the start. About a quarter of the length of the race they start falling back. At the end of the race they come in dead last, early the next morning.
I try not to participate in things other people have money on. I am seriously the kiss of death.
Okay. We’ll see how it goes. Could be...
Yes but on Sunday night in New York Asia markets will be open. Domino's anyone?
Dow was up today on more than average volume.
look at me....all I figured was a simple 5% interest on mere savings and we'd have done fairly well....
can't even get much over 1/2% now....
I had hoped for a decent return on savings. Not happening. That ship sailed when Clinton killed the bond market and drove everyone to stocks. I expect financial chaos to wipe out much of my remaining assets.
