The MMA methodology is the most complete and valuable model for financial market timing available.

There is a treasure chest of correlations just waiting to be discovered. It is a study that that keeps on giving. As long as the Sun shall rise and set, and the planets do the same in their cyclical order, so shall we, and all future students of this wonderful, incredible study.

The MMA Story

The Merriman Market Analyst was incorporated on September 28, 1983, at 2:30 PM, in Lansing, Michigan. We know this timing is correct because Raymond Merriman chose it and was present to oversee the stamping of the corporate papers at the Michigan Department of Commerce.

The story of MMA began in 1980 in Tucson, Arizona when Raymond Merriman was introduced to Walter Bressert, legendary cycles analyst and researcher, and began the study of cycles related to commodities and financial futures. By March 1982, Merriman had uncovered over 60 correlations to Gold prices, which were published in “The Gold Book: Geocosmic Correlations to Gold Price Cycles,” the first quantitative research effort on the correlation of planetary studies (aside from solar/lunar studies) related to financial markets. A newsletter was also started, forecasting what Merriman thought was happening – and would happen – to Gold prices in the near-term, based on these correlations. The first issue of the MMA Cycles Report started out with 35 subscribers.

After one year, the MMA Cycles Report grew from 35 to 350 subscribers, MMA was incorporated, and Merriman became a CTA – Commodities Trading Advisor – registered with the National Futures Association (NFA) and the Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC). Ray’s new career as a financial market analyst and financial market timer had begun.
