Here are Ray Merriman's MMA Comments for the Week Begining April 27th , 2009 " With Jupiter fast approaching its conjunction to Neptune in late May through mid-July, there is a geocosmic basis for thinking that any decline right now may hold above those lows of March 6-10, and then be followed by another rally to higher highs. Jupiter and Neptune are normally very optimistic and hopeful about the future.” Well, the equity markets did not really decline much since Venus turned direct last week, and in some equity markets, price have even made new highs. This “secondary” high that is now happening may be related to the new moon in Taurus, which takes place Saturday, April 25.. ”
