Slide 1
Sunspot Cycle and War & ViolenceA.L. Tchijevsky, a Russian
professor of Astronomy and Biological Physics, compiled the
histories of 72 countries from 500 BC to 1922 AD to provide a
strong database to articulate his correlations. After rating the
most significant events, Tchijevsky found that fully 80% of the
most significant human events, mostly related to war and violence,
occurred during the 5 years or so of maximum sunspot activity.

Sunspot Cycle and Economic DepressionThere was a rather strong
connection between major recession and the peaks of the sunspot
cycles. There was one major exception, the last Great Depression,
the bottom of which (1933) can be seen in the trough between
sunspot peaks. The collapse of the stock market, however,
paralleled right on the peak of the solar cycle in late 1929.
Is there a correlation between sunspot cycle and Dow Jones
Industrial?Not really, the only direct connection that appears is
as a breaking signal. During the sunspot peak, the speculative Bull
Run bubbles in stock break and an economic recession begins fairly
soon thereafter. This often leaves the stock prices headed down
even while sunspots are still rising. This destroys any statistical
averages which can be used for prediction.
11 Year Sunspot Cycle & Stock MarketDuring the 20th Century,
the peak of stock market will be usually 3 to 6 months ahead of the
peak of sunspot cycle. There is only one wrong prediction in the
past which was in 1957.

Sunspot Cycle and Interest RateThe US 13 Week Treasury Bill rate
peaked at the same time as the sunspot during the last several
decades

Sunspot and Soybean PriceIf the sunspot cycle does affect the
weather and in turn how well soybean grows then we would expect the
variations to be go beyond optimum condition in two directions (be
it too hot and too cold or too wet and too dry) and therefore in
one sunspot cycle there would be two cycles in soybean growth.
