Hasbrouck Archives

Forecasting Markets with Solar Field Forces

About the Authors

The Institute of Cosmological Economics is honored to be the sole representatives and publishers of the vast repository of knowledge that has been left behind in the Archives of the late Muriel and Louis Hasbrouck. The Hasbrouck’s fastidiously detailed, breakthrough contributions to the advancement of Cosmological Economics and Solar Field Theory lie at the cutting edge of scientific and economic theory.

Our efforts to uncover the historically overlooked offerings contained within the Hasbrouck Archives have only just begun, as the Hasbrouck’s research covered many fields beyond the financial markets including space weather forecasting and earthquake prediction, and extremely esoteric subjects like magic, astrology and Tarot. Their theories redefine the laws of celestial mechanics and provide new evidence of cosmic causation through the propagation of energy and forces within the solar system.

The Hasbrouck Archive, without question, represents one of the most significant discoveries in financial theory in decades, as well as an esoteric and scientific resource of inestimable value. The following biographical information is an excerpt from the complete account of the Hasbrouck Discovery.

Louis Hasbrouck

Louis Hasbrouck was born on May 19, 1890 and died on June 8, 1979.  He was a graduate of Yale, served in both world wars, and was a Captain in the U. S. Army Air Force.  He worked in Wall Street during the span of the Great Crash and found that conventional sources of wisdom neither predicted nor answered the trying questions of the time.  By seeking new data and a method of forecasting that would be truer to life; he provided the economic input and perspective to the Space-Time Dynamics and geophysics of Muriel Bruce. (See Louis’ article: Mass Psychology & the Unified Field Theory – Trend Analysis – A New Approach)

Muriel Bruce

Muriel Bruce was born in Canada on July 20, 1890 and died November 27, 1981 at the age of 91.  She was a Music and English major in college, a classical pianist, and a reporter for a Toronto newspaper.  She published several books, novels and sonnets, chief among them her 1941 work on the tarot and astrology, Tarot & Astrology: The Pursuit of Destiny. She and Louis were married on December 19, 1931, and together they developed a unique approach to research that they called Space-Time Forecasting.

An Education with the Greats

The narrative of Muriel’s life is littered with close personal connections to many of the esoteric, astrological and cosmological greats of her time. Early in her life this included many correspondences with the likes of Dr. Israel Regardie, famous biographer of the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley, with whom she maintained a friendship and correspondence until the 1970’s.

During the 1920’s she developed close relationships with two of the greatest luminaries of 20th century esoterics; Walter Russell, the visionary mystic, scientist, artist and polymath with whom she studied for seven years, and Paul Foster Case, author of The True & Invisible Rosicrucian Order, numerous books on the Tarot, and founder of the highly respected mystery school, The Builders of the Adytum. It was Case who directed Muriel’s study towards the Tarot as a universal system in which can be found coded secrets to universal knowledge.

The Revelations of “Book T”

With the support of her husband and colleagues, Muriel decided that she would dedicate her studies towards integrating the teachings of Tarot and Astrology into a rational and scientific thesis which would place these often misunderstood subjects onto an equal footing with that of modern science.  Through revelations contained in a lost and secret book on the Tarot called “Book T”, Muriel cracked a veiled code which led her to the discovery of Space-Time Field Forces, an essential missing element in solar physics and celestial mechanics, which plays a critical role in the propagation of forces through the solar system.

Hasbrouck Space-Time Dynamics

The nature of Space-Time Field Forces is an intermediary periodic sequence of energy field directly connected to the sun. These Field Forces, as the Hasbroucks called them, act in conjunction with the solar forces and energies, as well as in direct correlation with planets and objects in the solar system. The conjunction of these various objects, Field Forces and solar energies generate signals which determine high-probability windows for extreme space weather events, such as solar flares, Coronal Mass Ejections (CME’s) and other such solar phenomena.

The prediction of such solar events is a unique accomplishment even in today’s cutting edge science, as there is no way to forecast potential solar events, and the current standard of knowledge is a satellite that watches the sun and signals when a solar event happens. The Hasbrouck’s accomplishment would serve to extend scientific understanding of solar theory in a way that has yet to be accomplished in academia. Further, these Field Force signals not only determine space weather, but are also found to be effective for timing terrestrial events and phenomena such as earthquakes, and even more surprisingly, financial market trends.

Applying their System

The first application of her system was in the prediction of space weather, specifically peaceful vs. disturbed days, where disturbed days are likely to have more solar/geomagnetic disturbance if not outright flares or CME’s. By the mid-50’s, the Hasbroucks touted the results of their system as approaching 90% accuracy in predicting space weather.  The application was also extended to forecasting terrestrial phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanoes with considerable success.

With the 1950’s being the dawn of the Space Age, it was the forecasting of space weather that became the primary direction the Hasbroucks took in order to bring their theories to the use in the modern world.  The idea that every failed rocket launch came at the cost of $100’s of millions seemed absurd when they could determine safe vs. dangerous launch days with relative ease. Their theory was evaluated and found accurate by a scientist at Bell Laboratories, and was monitored by H.T. Stetson of MIT, author of two books on sunspots.

They formed a company called Geomagnetic Research Inc., and began to contact government agencies dealing with space launches, as well as the High Altitude Observatory, which produced the ongoing space weather reports for the US government. For six years they reached out and corresponded with various branches of government, always receiving some initial interest, with the High Altitude Observatory even closely evaluating their work for a period of time.

After prolonged intensive efforts to bring their discoveries to the scientific community, the prevailing paradigm of modern physics simply could not accept that there was a way, using merely astronomical data and tabular calculations, to predict space weather. Their minds were fixed, and seemingly impenetrable to alternative input. So, with frustration, and a farewell sonnet, the Hasbroucks shut down Geomagnetic Research Inc. and decided to focus their attentions on the forecasting of economic trends as a more viable market for their abilities.

Keys to Successful Speculation

Through all of Ferrera’s work in analyzing the deep technical concepts presented in Gann’s complex work, Ferrera noticed that many traders still struggled with the idea of actually applying these insights to actual trading. Gann himself was famous as a highly successful trader, so Ferrera decided to do a close study of his trading methodologies and particularly his mechanical and Swing Trading systems.  Through this study, Ferrera discovered an underlying logic behind Gann’s mechanical systems which was capable of producing a high performance and nearly automated trading system. Using this as a foundation, Ferrera developed one of the most comprehensive works on Risk Management, trade placement, account management and general trading approaches incorporated into his Keys to Successful Speculation. This course presents even the novice trader with the critical foundations needed by ALL traders to become successful at their profession.  The clarity of his approach here has been recognized by fund managers and professionals as one of the most clearly presented teachings on risk and trade management in the industry.

The Report: Space-Time Forecasting of Economic Trends

In 1957 the Hasbroucks published their first 7 year stock market forecast in the magazine American Mercury. This forecast was highly accurate, and with the proof of this forecast record under their belt, on October 15, 1964, the Hasbroucks launched their financial forecasting report,Space-Time Forecasting of Economic Trends.

These reports were read among a select group of Wall Street insiders, CEOs, authors of advisory letters, institutional managers, and some well-known figures in stock market history, including Edson Gould and Hamilton Bolton. A more detailed account of their influence in the world of finance can be found in the complete account of the Hasbrouck history.

The Hasbrouck Trust

Muriel and Louis wrote these successful reports for the next 15 years, until they were too old to continue. They eventually passed their life’s work on to their longtime associate Harriett Higginson and publisher James Fraser, who also became trustees of the Hasbrouck Trust. Harriett Higginson continued writing the Space-Time reports for the next 16 years until her death in 1996. Together the Hasbrouck & Higginson Space-Time reports total over 1200 pages. These forecasts, reports and letters are filled with deep analysis of the markets, and an ongoing discussion of the principles of Space-Time Forecasting as applied to mass psychology and finance.

New Beginnings – The ICE Acquisition

With no remaining heirs to the knowledge, all the archives were left dusty and forgotten in their publisher’s attic. Now, after 30 years of lying dormant, the custody and Trusteeship of this remarkable and enduring resource has been passed on to the Institute of Cosmological Economics. We spent about 5 years organizing, cataloging, and scanning much of the archive which contains well over 30,000 pages of materials.  

The 3 volume set offered here is the first public release of the Space-Time Forecasting of Economic Trends since their original publication. This is also the first time in history that the detailed teachings contained within the private Hasbrouck’s Archives have seen the light of day.

The Institute of Cosmological Economics has partitioned the access of the Hasbrouck Trust into two separate research streams. The first will be the public resources, such as the historical Space-Time letters. We will continue to curate and release parts of the archives for public consumption in times to come. We also intend to write a history and overview of the Hasbrouck’s work in the future.

The second research stream will be for advanced and dedicated researchers in Gann and Astro theory, who want full access to the entire Archive to understand the inner principles and techniques which were so carefully guarded during their time. This will take shape in a private membership based research group with provision for complete access to the archives, as well as access to the group Research Forum where we will share insights, software and ideas.

We remain honored to foster and grow the legacy of knowledge that has been passed on by these luminaries of Cosmological Economics, and we look forward to better representing their work to the public in the future.
