Cycles, Cycles and more cycles…

There was an interesting article in Barron’s Getting Technical this past week. Though cycle analysis is not one of my primary tools in my trading box, I do use it as an ancillary indicator. The bottom-line of the article is a prediction for long-term cycles in equities to bottom in Nov 2008, interest rates to bottom (bonds top) in Jun 2008 and commodities to continue higher into Feb 2010 (George Soros seems to agree) . Oh, and by the way, some of my own cycle analysis is pointing to the next 3-5 days as critical for the indices, bonds and crude oil.
