MMA’s annual Forecasts Book, written by Raymond A. Merriman since 1976, is one of the most unique, affordable, and accurate glimpses into the coming year. Utilizing the study of cycles and geocosmic factors, this annual Forecasts book outlines forthcoming trends pertaining to political, economic, and financial markets throughout the world. No other book has informed and prepared readers for the Cardinal Climax period of 2018-2015 as precisely as this annual publication. Readers were informed of this dangerous economic, social, and political climate that would begin in 2008, as early as 1994. In every book that followed, this period was outlined for the type of economic and political conditions we are now going through. No other book has guided readers through this turbulent period since it began in 2008 as well. In 2014, the saga of the Cardinal Climax reaches a geocosmic peak. This is a book, with an impressive background for insightful accuracy into world economic and financial market conditions that you will not want to miss! Although 2013 is only a little more than half over, several forecasts made in the 2013 book have already unfolded. We will list a couple of the forecasts below as of August 7, but a more inclusive list will soon be posted on the front page of our web site at www.mmacycles.com. • Grain Markets: “Look for all grains to top out before May 1, 2013. Corn and Soybeans may have already topped out in August-September 2012. Look for all grains to decline into an intermediate-term cycle trough during the growing season of 2013, perhaps lasting into early 2014… Overall, weather and temperature appear to be ideal for growing conditions in the spring and summer of 2013, and thus I expect a bumper crop. Farmers are advised to hedge, and lock in high prices for the 2013 harvest.” The growing condition for grains was ideal and grain prices fell sharply in the summer of 2013…. Corn and Soybeans did indeed top out in September 2012 (Corn at 843 and Soybeans at 1794). As of this writing, there are making new contract lows for the year, with new crop Corn making its lowest price in three years (testing 450), and new crop Soybeans below 1165. • Treasury Notes (10-Year): “The study of cycles suggests that Treasury prices could decline into the 6-, 3-, and 2-year cycle troughs due January-July 2013. The price target of this decline is most likely somewhere between 116 and 128, with much support around 123/00 +/- 3/00. The 6-year cycle could actually expand into early 2014, as more challenging geocosmic signatures also arise in connection with the Federal Reserve Board chart after October 2013 and through early 2014… it appears that there will be a low in the first half of the year, followed by a healthy rally prior to November 2013, followed by another decline into late 2013 or early 2014.” After posting a yearly high of 133/25 on May 1, T-notes fell sharply to a yearly low (as of this writing) of 124/11 on July 8, which was just one day after the July 1-7 critical reversal date given in the book for T-Notes.
