Peter
G. Eliades, Editor and Publisher, Stockmarket Cycles
Born 5-26-39 in Lowell, Massachusetts
Lowell High School – 1956
Harvard College, A.B. 1960

J.D. –1963 (passed Massachusetts Bar Exam)
Married – three children
Upon
graduation from Boston University Law school, Peter
Eliades moved to New York City where he entertained
as a singer and pianist in Manhattan cabarets and
off-Broadway musical comedy. In 1967, he moved to
Los Angeles and continued his musical career. In 1968,
with a lot of time and curiosity and a little money,
Mr. Eliades initiated his stock market studies.
In
1972, he began his financial career as a stockbroker
and appeared as a stock market analyst on Los Angeles
television station KWHY, the nation’s first financial
TV station. Several times in the fall of 1974, he
predicted on KWHY that a major market bottom would
occur during the week of December 9-13, 1974. The
exact Dow low of 570.01 occurred on December 9, 1974.
Publication of Stockmarket Cycles began in July of
1975. In 1985, the first year he was rated by the
independent rating services, Mr. Eliades earned the
Timer Digest’s "Timer of the Year"
award and placed second in 1986 in a close race which
wasn’t decided until the final trading day of
the year. In 1989, Mark Hulbert (Hulbert Financial
Digest) named Mr. Eliades as the "Most Consistent
Mutual fund Switcher" based on Eliades timing
signals for the years 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1988.
From January 1985 when Hulbert first started rating
Stockmarket Cycles, through August 1990, Stockmarket
Cycles had the #1 market timing record in the country
with a timing gain of 174.3% versus a comparable gain
in the Wilshire 5000 Total Return Index of 119%.
Mr.
Eliades has been a regular panelist on ABC’s
weekly Sunday show, Business World, and has made guest
appearances on FNN, CNBC, Wall Street Week, and Nightly
Business Report. He has been featured in some of the
nation’s most prestigious publications including
Barron’s, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and
Futures Magazine among others.
Mr.
Eliades’ theory of price movement in the stock
market relates to repeating cycles rhythms. Fundamental
news has no effect on market timing and affects only
long-term trends. In over 16 years of uninterrupted
market letters, he has rarely mentioned a fundamental
news story in relation to the market. Mr. Eliades’
analysis is 100% cyclically and technically oriented.
Stockmarket
Cycles provides market timing for the more important
intermediate to long term trends for mutual fund switching.
Short-term timing is also provided for stock index
futures and index options via the daily telephone
updates.
John Williams Shadow Government Statistics is a
monthly electronic newsletter that exposes and analyzes
the flaws in current U.S. Government data and reporting,
as well as in certain private-sector numbers. It
also looks at the financial markets free of the
hype so often put forth in the popular financial
media. Generally published on the second Wednesday
of the month, the newsletter is supplemented by
Flash Updates and occasional Alerts that highlight
unusual developments. The publication includes regular
analysis of:
*
The prior month's reporting (employment/unemployment,
CPI, GDP, retail sales, housing statistics, factory
orders, trade balance, consumer confidence, purchasing
managers' survey and others) including estimates
of actual results net of any reporting biases.
*
The coming month's reporting, highlighting unusual
circumstances and biases that could bring results
in above or below market expectations.
*
Economic series that are relatively free of reporting
biases and what they indicate about the economy
and inflation.
*
Special features detailing the background of government
series not previously explored in the newsletter,
along with updates to changes in reporting methodologies
for all major series.
*Markets
Perspective -- part of the regular newsletter --
where the financial markets are assessed net of
ongoing hype from Wall Street, the Federal Reserve
and the Administration.
*
Alternate Data Series -- covering the CPI, GDP and
a continuing version of the discontinued M3 series
-- are available for downloading by subscribers.
