A small sell-off, but not much, just a bump in the road.

Will the Eclipse Impact the Market?

Post by Tomanyiron »

“On the morning of June 16, 1806, an immense, oblong shadow swept over the city of Boston. The azure sky turned ashen. An autumnal chill raised a mist over the harbor, and birds suspended their song. The everyday bustle of human commerce quieted to midnight stillness.”

A total solar eclipse will appear over the continental U.S. for the first time in a century.
Do you think the Great American Eclipse coming next Monday (Aug. 21) will have an affect on US markets?

There is no option for the eclipse triggering a market collapse.

Of course it will. It aready has. That is the only plausible explanation for how things have been going recently. lol

If you wait till the exact moment of total eclipse to make your IFT and leave it there until the next total eclipse you should have an excellent return. Mayan Market Strategy.

It will probably be a nonevent, however, you never can be sure with human emotions & the market.

I thought this was just a goofy thread...

I didn't expect this from Mark Hulbert

and I certainly didn't expect Mark Hulbert to cite this

I'm a Spaceweather.com man, myself. Alas, the daily seasonal has us moving from F to S on Aug 23, so basically buying in at the right time, if we want to play this game =)
