Good Friday holiday turned last Thursday into end of month trading day. Of course, given the stock market being so bullish, it is hard for the indices to go lower much before the late bulls all jumping in while the frustrated bears forced to give up their shorts once again. It is not an unexpected outcome because lack of a bearish trigger event, bears can keep trying and they will continue to turn into fuel to push this higher.

However, if indeed an external shock happens in the near future, it is impossible for the stock market to find any support within the nearest 10-15%. What it means is that all the late bulls who are driven by greedy will be trapped and turn into fuel driving this dive down much more than just 10-15%. If you are long this market, taking profit up here and reduce exposure is a necessity to avoid serious damages.

Lately, the astrology communities all buzzing about this coming April being the most important month for this year and the coming years due to the high concentration of various astro setups in the sky all piling on within the month. What this means is that there are multiple longer term cycles that are entering their respective next cycle in April such that everyone will feel the changes in coming months as their impacts will be triggered at slightly different time this year.

Here is a good discussion on the subject.

Sam Harris had a conversation about meditation. I do not agree with everything Sam Harris said, in fact, he’s just another idiot who happened to learn meditative practices early in his life allowing him to ride on this new age craze. However, for majority of the people on Earth, his basic understand of meditation and the effort to promote meditation to more people can be a good thing.

Patrick Boyle jumped on board discussing the effect of Bank of Japan’s declaration of the end of negative interest rate. This topic is important because the negative rate era of Japan is the underlining reason why the major economies can keep printing more money. Although Japan’s interest rate is still near zero, the ability to print money at turbo speed is now dropped back down to normal speed. Would this be the catalyst of the coming financial crisis? Could be.

I took a break yesterday doing absolutely nothing and rested all day. Back to work today.

Have a great Easter weekend all!

While I am waiting for my team to restore our servers thanks to some hackers trashed them over the weekend, I have some time on hand and I think I must write this piece to explain what it really means, given my background in Chinese astrology. I think many astrologers on the internet misinterpret the meanings of Pluto moving into Aquarius. In short they got it all wrong.

At the same time, I am going to trash the Chinese astrologers too because they also read the 9th phase of the 180 years feng shui cycle wrong. Only rarely, I see some of these masters showing a clear sign of holding back their views and hinted that the main stream views may be too rosy.

Pluto is the destroyer of everything that it touches. Pluto is the name of the Roman god who ruled the underworld. And his former name in Greek mythology is Hades. Pluto brings destruction and will lead to major changes after the destruction is completed.

With Aquarius being an air sign and that it rules technology and community, it is obviously that from now on, for 20 years, the air related technologies like airplanes will be in so much trouble that people will no longer be able to fly on them after the first half of this transit. The interesting thing with this direct interpretation is that it matches the feng shui 9th phase trigram meaning, separation.

So beware of more accidents with flying, more flights getting grounded and that being stuck at a remote location from your home and can’t go back due to airplane problems will become the norm.

Another clear direct interpretation points to the internet because it is the technology that created a global community. But that will change. The disruptive nature of Pluto will likely destroy this trend with the world getting less connected as a minimum and the potential of the whole concept of internet will be destroyed and replaced by something else.

And also in a general way, all technologies will be in some form of difficulties. I can see this happening because all these big companies force upon us with auto updates of our cell phones, our TVs and computers. All it takes is these companies are no longer around, or, the internet is broken enough, then all your tech based equipment will become useless.

Yep, I do suggest that if you are a prepper, get a basic cell phone. It may save you one day. Oh, you may need a faraday bag to keep it safe too.

Onto the feng shui front, one of the key themes of 9th phase of this 180 year cycle is that the “middle age women” will be in power. First, the term “middle age” women” means those women who are mothers with young kids. What these feng shui masters forget is that why a woman of this type becomes the head of the household?

That’s because their husbands died or that these men have to go far away like, to fight in a war. This 9th phase last 20 years. So 20 years of “middle age men” population decline is in the card.

Just want to point out the obvious. Don’t get high on a new age of hope and dreams. Be prepared.

US stock market finally made it to new all-time-high on Friday after multiple attempts at clearing the resistance zone. All those bears who thought we are going to get a major double top are now forced to give up. So how high will it go? I have no idea.

But remember this – the large financial institutions love to game the system by forcing a positive close for January so that they can claim that this year will go higher due to the “January Effect”. It is another example of lies told enough times will make people believe in them.

I find this video very interesting that all of us living in North America should be aware of. The power grid here being overloaded in deep winter and also in mid summer is a well known fact. Brownout happens all the time during those periods. If the analysis in the video is correct, then AI will “do us in” this year … I suggest everyone to get at least some kind of backup power handy. I hope that the expected blackout does not happen this winter because a lot of people will be killed.

Because of the official Chinese New Year is coming (Feb 10), all kinds of fortune telling videos are popping up. Chinese calendar system is a solar-lunar system. This year is one of those years for which the solar new year (Feb 4) happens before the lunar one (Feb 10). In Chinese traditional beliefs, this coming year of the dragon will be a blind year and can bring bad luck to many. But I think the more important astrological event is the transit of Pluto into Aquarius which dictates the themes of several major areas of our lives in the coming 20 years.

There are tons of videos on this Pluto transit that you can search online and watch as much as you want. Here is one with some detail explanation about the subject.

Interestingly, Chinese feng shui system also have a “shift of energy” into the 9th phase, the last phase, of its 180 years cycle. Since majority of these feng shui videos are done in Chinese, I am not going to link to them here. In short, the feng shui masters believe that in the 9th phase we will see a lot more natural disasters, wars and diseases. So it can be a very difficult time in coming years for humankind.

And for those who are financially minded, here is Brent Johnson’s take on what to expect from the markets in 2024.

My insane schedule is now slowly going back to normal but then I still have a huge pile up of tasks to complete. Better get back to work now.

Have a great weekend all!

Long weekend for both Canada and United States this year. I finally take a break yesterday to enjoy an afternoon with some friends. Then the news came my father caught Covid and was hospitalized in Hong Kong. Don’t know what to say … just hope my father tough it out.

A good read about the Beer Game. It is an old article about this MIT tradition. If you are interested in trading or management of your own business, this article gives you a glimpse of how our world really is – a very complex sets of dynamic systems for which no one has real control over what happens around them.

Not many of you are believer in astrology, but this video about the coming development of the world based on the combined reading of major countries and their leaders painted an ugly picture that we should all be aware.

A nice chess game between Magnus Carlsen and Anna Cramling. And of course, Magnus won.

For my fellow Canadians, belated Happy Canada Day!

For my US readers, Happy July Fourth!
