 Using a Maximum Entropy approach to 
determining the cycles 
in the DOW from 1920 till now indicates 
that a 34.3 year and 
an 8.3 year cycle are more 
prominant than the 15.8 year. 
  
With the indicated 3 cycles I use a 
"strategy" which I wrote to 
obtain the most profitable alignment of 
the phases of these 3 
cycles combined (see red/blue/red/... 
curve).  The "profit"  (DOW points) going long when plot is blue 
and short when plot 
is red if almost 20,000 points seeming 
to point out that trading 
the cycles would be slightly better 
than buy and hold.

  Subject: RE: [RT] Market status 
  
  To me the most dominant cycle in the market via the Dow is 16 
  years (see attached chart).  
  As to impulse dates, my analysis all 
  depends upon which index one chooses.  For the Russell 2000 and NYSE I 
  get a 11/13 impulse date; for the Dow, a 11/14 impulse date; for the NASDAQ a 
  11/17 impulse date; and for the S&P I really get no outstanding 
  date.  Since 11/14 is the middle date I would guess that either the 13th 
  or 14th to be a intermediate top or bottom and either the 14th or 17th to be 
  either the start of a leg up or down.
