How do you arrive at your forecasts?
This is the Amanita model of holistic market forecasting (ranked according to the importance):
basic principle | examples | |
| connection between the cosmos and market prices | mundane constellations, first-trade charts, Bradley Siderograph | |
2. technical analysis | past intra-market patterns are projected into the future | cycles, Elliott waves, sentiment, standard methods of chart analysis |
3. fundamental analysis | economic developments are analyzed | price/ earnings-ratio, interest rates, liquidity, political decision (e.g. wars) |
4. divine methods | non-empirical direct access to future market prices | numerology, intuition, Tarot, clairvoyance/ remote viewing, dreams, (chart) meditation |
While fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and financial astrology are based on the empirical investigation of the past, the divine methods are future-oriented.
Drawing up the forecasts is a holistic and complex process since I am considering numerous factors. I am relying on the creative and integrative power of intuition which originates in the subconscious (from below) and the super-conscious (from above) After a systematic analysis of all factors I let go until a clear picture emerges which, however, does not happen all the time. In the best case, suddenly an intuition is telling me, "That's it!"
As stand-alone methods, financial astrology and cycle analysis are the key tools employed. Simply by combining these two methods you would get reasonably good results in most cases. However, both have their strengths and weaknesses. It is certainly not a coincidence that the only market timer tracked by the US rating agency "Hulbert Financial Digest" that was able to beat a buy-and-hold strategy in the strong bull market of the 90ies was a financial astrologer Standard methods of technical analysis (especially sentiment indicators and Elliott waves) make a valuable contribution as well. Fundamental analysis helps me to understand the market better yet it contributes little to the actual short-term to intermediate-term forecasting (more for the long-term perspective)
Regarding the application of divine methods I am still at the beginning and a lot of additional research is required. However, this approach was the key in the development of new theories as I received so many valuable hints from the higher worlds.
The question regarding the lack of explanations is asked sometimes. So why do I not follow the pattern of most other market letters?
- Everyone will understand that I have to take care of not giving my competitive edge out of hand. Of course, there is a conflict with subscribers who want to learn more on the background. I am trying to balance out these two conflicting aims. Many of the concepts that I introduced (e.g., the Galactic Center) have been "stolen" and published by colleagues without giving credit.
--- - time economical arguments:
A detailed specification of all factors taken into account would multiply my working time, especially since the service is published in two languages, German and English. From the feedback of subscribers I conclude that only a minority is interested in the explanations and able to follow them (esp. in the field of financial astrology).
--- - basics missing among readers:
Just financial astrology needs many explanations yet only about 1/3 of the readers have at least some astrological knowledge (and only one half thereof is advanced). Even among those with good knowledge (ca. 1/6) misunderstandings will occur because absolutely new ways and methods are used that can't be learnt anywhere else. Articles on financial astrology topics usually focus on topics that could also be understood by laypeople.
--- - Didactic difficulties:
I have found out that detailed explanations more often than not dilute the clarity and curtness of the arguments and tend to confuse subscribers rather then to inform them (information overflow). To enhance the customer orientation the key concepts like the Amanita pivots or Amanita constellations have been developed that do not require any specific previous knowledge.
