You cannot be serious.

In the past few years, we have seen the largest terrorist
attack on our home soil, and the largest natural disaster
in modern history. Since these were such big events, surely
the astrologers, seers, mediums, and folks with ESP should
have seen these events. We can sort of the wheat from the
chaff by assuming that anyone who predicted these two events
in advance are the true people with vision of future events.
Since the number of people that did this is zero, it doesn't
bode well for proving that ESP or astrology exists.

Further, the great visionary Nastradamus would certainly
have written of these massive events. The fact that he
didn't again does not bolster the credibility of those
who claim he saw the future.

As far as predicting the markets go, I can predict with
100% accuracy. How? Easy. First, I pick a random stock.
I send out 10,000 mailers, 5000 saying it will go up, 5000
saying it will go down. Wait two weeks, and see where it
goes. Assume it goes up. I then pick a 2nd stock. This
time, I send out 5,000 mailers to the folks where I correctly
made the prediction. I send out 2,500 saying #2 will go up,
2,500 saying #2 will go down. We repeat this again, and
again, and again. In the end, I have a group of 312 who
have seen me pick 5 correct stock picks in a row. They
would be nuts not to pay me $2500 to know my next stock
pick since it is sure to be a winner given my track record.
If I am right, I am a hero. If I am wrong, I can still
brag that I have an 84% accuracy, so they should stick
with my program and buy my randomly generated pump and
dump newsletter.

I need views and advice. I have been following with interest the
predictions of Mahendra Sharma.I must say that so far, it has been
reasonably good.

He says that it would not suprising for gold to reach $478 and even
higher. Is there reason for being upbeat? He is found at
www.mahendraprohecy.com and this is what he had to say about January
2005

GOLD
During the month of January gold will remain directionless. Those who
like to buy for long term can wait low prices. One can make trading
plans, like three percent rise from the current price can be taken as
an opportunity to sell and two percent drop can be a opportunity to
buy. So this whole month you should get in and get out on small profit
because I am not expecting it going to roof in this month. My weekly
newsletter will guide you on short term movement.

SILVER
During the month of January silver prices will remain stable compared
to gold. Those who want to make long and short term investment can wait
because after that it will rise quite strongly. Avoid trading in second
week of January because prices may drop quite fast (artificially) for
three days.

PLATINUM
Don't trade in platinum in the month of January. I recommend selling in
it.

PALLADIUM
Price range of $170 to $185 can be great buying range. Palladium will
be best performer in metal sectors in the month of January.

COPPER
High volatility is indicating in it during this whole month. I see
prices of copper touching a new high in early January but it will also
fall quite fast in near future (I will write on that), so be careful
trading in copper.

OIL/Natural gas
Trend of oil and natural gas will remain down. Rise can be taken as a
selling opportunity.

CURRENCIES
I see dollar getting stronger after 7th of January so trade accordingly
in all currencies. My weekly newsletter will guide on this.

STOCK MARKET
All major stock market will have a downward trend from the 13 January
and they will continue decline in a small way but it will have a major
fall from the third week of February (I DON'T KNOW THE REASON FOR
DOWNWARD).

COFFEE

GRAINS
During the second week of January all grains (Soybean, corn and wheat)
will remain very volatile so avoid trading in it but from 15 January
they will have a rise so one can accumulate in small way.

TREASURY BOND
Except the first week of January prices of treasury bond will move up
continuously for the whole month. One can buy even it at this level for
speculation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: CHINA MAY ANNOUNCE NEGATIVE NEWS ON IT'S GROWTH, THAT
MAY HURT COMMODITIES FOR SHORT TERM.
