Our History
A non-profit, research organization, Foundation for the Study of Cycles was incorporated on January 10, 1941, by Edward R. Dewey after he discovered coincident cycles in nature and business.
In addition to identifying thousands of verified natural, social, and financial cycles, FSC published Cycles Magazine from 1950 to 1997, held conferences, published reports, funded research, and developed software that revolutionized the way researchers studied cycles.
By focusing on financial markets, where data is accurate and easily accessible, we have spent the last decade refining our methods of cycles detection and cycles applications. Generously backed over the years by notable investors, like W. Clement Stone, Fidelity Funds, Coleman Co., and Paul Tudor Jones, we have been a leading developer of computer software to detect cycles in time series data.

The really important aspect of comparative cycle study is the possibility that it will lead to the discovery of hitherto unknown environmental forces that affect life, weather, and many other terrestrial phenomena. The proof of the existence of such forces will push back the frontiers of knowledge as much as any single discovery that I can think of.
