russ:
i have read tons of stuff on cycles. i have a whole bookshelf full of cycles going back to the greeks and the babylonians. no, i don't want to read terry laundry's view of cycles and i'm not going to and no one can make me.
LOL!
yes, there is a 20 and a 60 and a 120; there is an 8, an 11, a 19; the greeks had those and the fascinating callippic; there are the gann cycles; there is the cycle of 9's, the 36 and the 72: some of these are chained and some unchained. there is the saros and the inex and the synodic and the ecliptic and the solar. there is the mcminn 56 year and the k-wave and more.
but there is NO 40/80 year cycle, with an 80 year intensification!
i could provide you with 100 links and say: go read them.
p.s. and the k-wave is not even CLOSE to a 40 or 80.
humble1: Yes all t hese cycles get confusing. The one cycle not mentioned is Armstrong's 8.6 year pi cycle which nailed that high in the financial indices, the housing index and the nikkei.... all in Feb. 2007. This date was also the half cycle of the 51.6 year confidence in private markets cycle we are in now and that cycle is the pi cycle times six. I am not aware of any other cycle that has shown what Armstrong's cycles have.
