October 23 and Pi

"Black Tuesday" was when the stock market crashed on October 24, 1929. October 23 is 86 years after that date, less a day to make it fall on a Friday instead of a Saturday. What is so important about this date, other than the anniversary?

Well, once upon a time, there was an economist named Martin Armstrong who had a theory that the number pi influenced economics.  Every 3141 days (8.6 years), the economy would crash.  He predicted the stock market crash of 1987 to the day. So ten cycles of 8.6 years mean the cycles will repeat.

He sees a significance in 6 cycles, which total 51.6 years.

For the record, he did see a cycle starting in 1929, but he used "1929.75" (Oct 1, 1929) as the start date.  And he sees something happening on 2015.75 (October 1, 2015)

=================================
While we are speaking of cycles, the Mayans of course had their 260 cycle which repeats every 52 years.  The Mayan prophecy of the end of the world on December 21, 2012 of course was a bust, but that doesn't mean the 52 year cycle is invalid.

So what happened 51.6 or 52 years ago?.  Well, November 22, 2015 will be the 52nd anniversary of the assassination of JFK.  Another important day. Or not.

Some people believe that he was assassinated because of Executive Order 11110, which would have replaced Federal Reserve Notes with silver certificates.
