When I was in collage my friends and I made extra 
money designing and building light shows for rock bands.  There is a device 
called a Color Organ that splits the frequency of sounds, such as a band, and 
activates a different colored light as a note in the appropriate frequency is 
played, making the lights flash in time to the music.  At the time 
they where very expensive, so we just used random flashing lights, much like 
flashing Christmas tree lights.  After each show everyone would compliment 
us on how the lights flashed in exact time to the music.  Of course 
we knew they where just random flashes, the human mind superimposed the 
lights over the sound and convinced the viewer that they where 
synchronized.
 
Looking at the attached chart of <FONT 
face="Times New Roman" size=3>Sornette's prediction there is an obvious, but 
dubious correlation.  First all natural phenomenon such as this end at some 
point.  As anyone who has been following the market for more than 5 years 
knows, it is extremely difficult to predict when the pattern will change.  
It could be tomorrow, a month from now, a year from now, or yesterday.  We 
will not know until well after it happens and a new pattern is 
established.  Secondly while short term projections can have a high degree 
of accuracy long term projections do not.  The weather channel is extremely 
accurate for 3 or 5 days but much beyond that it becomes very 
difficult.
 
This is little more than a trend following 
indicator, and like all such indicators will work short periods.
 
Good luck and good trading,

  If I follow this correctly we could have one more leg 
  up this year to give those of us with large cap mutual funds a chance to 
  exit at better prices, go into low risk securities and go
