IMPORTANT NOTE ADDED FOR THE March 2010 EDITION:

Here are my very most recent thoughts about the eight-pointed star as I published last month in a newsletter...

1. As an explorer, I discovered a frequently recurring, “8-pointed star” graphic image on ancient ceramics, textiles and other pre-Columbian artworks in Ecuador.

2. I later discovered a location exactly on the equator that is the center of the same 8-pointed star, laid out over a large geographical area (hundreds of square kilometers) in Ecuador. Very important archaeological sites are found all along the axis lines of the star, including more than a dozen large pyramids. The implications of this giant, ancient star are staggering.

3. I discovered that the geometrical structure of the star relates to the tilt of the earth, the timing of the equinoxes, solstices, and most importantly, the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth to each other during a very long cyclic period. The ancients were brilliant with astronomy and mathematics.

4. I think that the natural cycles represented in the star are of 8 different time frames. Each of the 8 time frames is related to the other time frames by key factors of 4.

5. The ancients knew that these cycles affect all of life on earth, especially when they combine harmonically with coinciding peaks and valleys. The more cycle coincidences that occur at any given point in time, the more powerful the effect. This works very similarly (not exactly) to ocean tide cycles.

6. All free-trading markets are only mirror reflections of mass human emotions. Human emotions are strongly affected by interacting, multi-time frame, lunar, solar and terrestrial cycles.

7. By understanding and counting the different cycle periods, moving, one inside of the other, it is possible to predict the ebb and flow of mass human emotions as affected by the planetary bodies.

8. The absolute, final proof of what I am saying is easily measurable in the ebb and flow of the markets. Each market has its own cyclic movements and personality according to the combined key players that are trading it. I am developing a cycle counting system for each market. The market cycles repeat themselves almost perfectly in 8 different time frames.

If this all seems too fantastic to you to be true, I only ask that you suspend your disbelief for a short time, read what I write in my free morning newsletter, STOCK MARKET TODAY + FOREX and watch the results for yourself. Regular, tangible results do not lie and pure luck can only last for a short time.

Perhaps I am more astounded by all of this than you are!

IMPORTANT NOTE ADDED FOR THE November 2009 EDITION:

Several months ago I had the good fortune of guiding a small, international group of unique adventurers to some of my favorite astro-archaeological sites in Ecuador. More information about this expedition is posted on my other web site (mentioned above) along with hundreds of photos available for you to see.

the 8-pointed star, directly on the equator.

During the day that we spent together on the equator (right at the center of the 8-pointed star), one of our group shared some very profound information with me. A lot of this information originated from an amazing, scientist, Walter Russell. That shared insight and information is what, over a 2-month period, led to the very significant improvement of my indicator algorithms in MARKET WEALTH LIVE.

If you are at all interested in this sort of information, please see a book entitled, The Universal One by Walter Russell.

My basic Discovery hinges around an 8-pointed star that I first saw many years ago in a book called The Sacred Symbols of Mu by James Churchward. On page 89 of his book, this is what the author says about the 8-pointed star...

It "is an eight-ray’d Sun. This was Mu’s symbol on her Royal Escutcheon. The name in the Motherland of the Sun as the celestial orb was – Kin. In Egypt, the name was – Horus. In Greece – Apollo and in Babylonia – Belmarduk, etc."

Moreover, on page 159 of the book, this is what we find...

After I had been in Ecuador for some years and had the opportunity to become familiar with many antiquities and artifacts, I began to notice the same 8-Pointed Star repeated over and over as you see in the photo below...

Ancient Artifacts of Ecuador

The light bulb really turned on one day after reading a book by Ecuadorian professor Humberto Vera H. In his book, he discussed the ancient pre-Inca, Kitus-Caras culture that thrived thousands of years ago in the South American equatorial region. I learned that for some unknown reason, beginning thousands of years ago, this advanced culture had created and built a series of vast structures over an enormous area that was laid out on an 8-Pointed Star Pattern, or grid, with the very center located right on the top of a mountain, exactly on the equator!

These vast structures located exactly on the 8-Pointed Star Pattern include a single complex of 15 giant pyramids that took hundreds of years to build, a multi-mountaintop group of sites that is the largest archaeological complex in South America, sophisticated stone buildings, and many dozens of other pyramids and large burial mounds.

So many questions and so few answers...

Why did the Kitus-Caras culture go to so much trouble over so many generations to build according to the 8-Pointed Star Pattern? Why did they use this symbol so much in their pottery, textiles and stone carvings? Why was the Pattern centered exactly on the equator? Why does the 8-Pointed Star fit perfectly inside the ancient cross symbol of the Southern Cross constellation? Why are the angles in the Star exactly 23.5 degrees, the exact tilt of the earth?

Interestingly, I continue to discover new, virgin archaeological sites all along the spokes of the 8-Pointed Star Pattern that you see plotted on the map below. The very few people that I have taken to visit these unknown and little-known sites, almost all report that they feel something special, a type of energy as we enter the sites. We still need much more investigation to determine what is causing this “Star Gate” type, energetic effect. My newsletter will keep you posted.

Still, more questions and not many answers.

One thing we know for sure. The ancient inhabitants of Central and South America were extremely advanced in their knowledge of astronomy, geometry, and many other natural sciences. Where did all of this knowledge come from? There is great evidence that it came from a teacher known as Viracocha. But that is a whole different story that I discuss in my other web site.

Hundreds, if not thousands of astro-archaeological sites exist all around the world. They all seem to have a repeating pattern and theme once you study them carefully. They all reflect important astronomical mathematics. The astronomical mathematics are directly connected to cyclic events we see throughout our universe. The cyclic events affect our day-to-day activities, moods and lives, much like the sun and moon affect oceanic tides. Cycles can especially be seen in all free-trading markets around the world.

Below, I have posted some different photos and images for you to consider. Among them is a geometric analysis diagram and a photo of a well-known, astro-archaeological site named Chavin. Chavin is located in coastal Peru. There are even more astro-archaeological images for you to see on my other web site.

The astro-archaeological sites that I have discovered are all located at relatively high altitudes. Some of my sites are little-known and little-studied. Other sites are completely unknown and virgin.

While I can not reveal exactly which proportions nor how I have incorporated them into my technical indicator algorithms, you can at least begin to see some of the repeating geometric patterns built into these ancient structures. The repeating geometric patterns are all based on naturally occurring proportions and key astronomical measurements.

With time, in a new book I'm writing, we plan to see what the astro-archaeological correlations with natural cycles are all about. When we do, it may turn a light bulb on inside our heads. We may then see many other applications for this discovery in other aspects of our lives and businesses. We will also see these cycles replay themselves over and over in many natural cyclic phenomena throughout the universe.

But for now, let’s restrict our discussions to the topic of cycles and how to harness them for making consistent profits in the markets...

Thanks to my original discovery in the South American Andes, together with some years of subsequent research and development, I was eventually able to create a set of very unique technical analysis tools for all kinds of cycle measurements. It just so happens that good cycle analysis really comes in handy in the stock market. In fact, if the analyses and market transactions are carried out properly, the results can finance all kinds of other interesting projects without ever needing any investors or partners. That is what this work is doing for me.

After learning how to work with and profit from my new technical indicators, I have been able to create a very comfortable lifestyle for myself. My days are now filled with reading, research, adventures around South America and time spent with friends. A lot of my profit making in the markets takes place on my Blackberry as you may have seen on my Adventure-Trader.com web site photos. I hope this work may be of some service to you in helping you to improve your life according to your own goals and dreams.
