May 4, 1998 UPDATE


TIME

  1. Two Winter Eclipses: February 26 (Solar); March 13 (Lunar)
  2. Three Summer Eclipses: August 8 (Lunar); August 21 (Solar) and September 6 (Lunar)
  3. The Saturn-Neptune waning square: June 25 and October 31 (final pass April 99)

PRICE

While both eclipses temporarily stopped the market momentum, the DJIA exceeded our 8500 year high target. Just as daily DJIA movement is now 100 points (2X previous 50 point moves), DJIA went to 9200 (2X 8500 limit). Did the US market peak at the end of April and the European at the beginning of April? We have built repeated shorts at the 9170/9200+ level. While intraday they are profitable, the intermediate term profit is yet to be seen.


BUY ITALY/SELL CANADA

Our favorite and least favorite countries to invest in 1998:

ITA 10.750:14.50 Up 35, although less than the 46% Stellar Performance first quarter, after downgrading by JP Morgan from outperform.

AMEX EWI 20 1/16:26 15/16.50 vs AMEX-EWC 13 5/16:15.25

BUY GM/SELL HWP

Our most and least favorite DJIA stocks:

GM 60 5/8:68.9/16 vs HWP 62 1/2:74.

Note: AFUND "managed" buy target for GM was 55 (it reached 55 1/6).

Note: Pru buy recommendation propelled HWP to strong performance this past month; we believe it will retreat.

BUY NOVELL/SELL AOL

Our favorite and least favorite Tech stocks from a cosmic value perspective:

Novl 7 1/2:9 15/16 vs AOL 89 1/4:167 (83 1/2 x 2).

Note: AOL has managed to do well after its split, will it do as well after Saturn/Neptune May 25th?

Can you afford NOT to have financial astrology in your future?
