Hurst indicated that a CENTERED MOVING AVERAGE was a 
  proper
  method of examining cyclicality in a price series -- I 
  agree.
   
  The attached shows two relative long term (186 weeks--3.6 
  years and 386 weeks
  --7.4 years).  These lengths are taken from of MEM 
  evaluation of cycles in the
  DOW weekly data.
   
  The attached pictures show just how far this approach can 
  project into the
  future and whether it is correct or not remains to be 
  seen.
   
  In evaluating studies of this length we can only examine if 
  the behavior of
  prices lie within a series of "bands" which we calculate 
  around the Centered
  Moving Average of prices and the Fourier projection of the 
  selected period
  of cyclicality.
   
  LOOK HARD AT THESE RESULTS.
   
  This approach is not yet a "commercial" product.  Any 
  feedback as to whether
  this approach has merit would be appreciated.
