Hi Everyone,
There is an ongoing discussion regarding W.D. Gann's Master Time Factor, which is a 60 year cycle in the Timing Solution user group, so I thought I would make a video, looking at how the curve of that cycle coincided with downturns, bottoms and peaks from the Eisenhower 1957 downturn to the present. Larry Williams has suggested in the group that picking bottoms with cycles is more accurate than tops... I found this to be the case in the analysis in the video.
http://appinsys.com/globalwarming/SixtyYearCycle.htm This is an interesting take on how the 60 year cycle works in global weather patterns and sea rise.
Bill Meridian discusses who helped Gann with his understanding of astrology... I learned something new.
THE “TIME FACTOR” IS THE KEY TO GANN’S FORECASTS Gann’s forecasts of the stock and commodity markets were based on the “time factor”, the dictionary definition of which is “The passage of time as a limitation on what can be achieved”. Gann provided the following comments on the time factor:
“The most important thing of all is the Time factor, which I use in making up my annual forecasts. It is not my object here to give away that secret, but I am showing you plain enough and giving you rules enough that, if you follow them, you will be able to make a success in the stock market” (“Truth Of The Stock Tape”, 1923, page 116).
“Many people want to know what method I use to determine future indications on the market. I keep charts of the various active stocks and also a set of averages. My charts are different from the charts of the average statistician because they are based on a discovery of my own. I have discovered a ‘time’ factor that enables me to determine important tops and bottoms one year or more in advance. My annual forecasts on stocks, issued in December for ten years past, have proved remarkably correct. The cotton and grain markets can also be forecast by this ‘time’ factor, which enables me to tell when extreme highs and lows will be made, as well as the minor moves” (“Truth Of The Stock Tape”, 1923, page 41 of appendix).
“The time factor and time periods are most important in determining a change in trend because time can over balance price, and when the time is up the volume of sales will increase and force prices higher or lower” (“45 Years In Wall Street”, 1941, page 10).
