The solution to Gann's Law of Vibration from the 1909 Ticker Interview. Penicka analyzes Gann’s exact words correlating them with the cutting edge science of Gann’s day to develop a system which identifies the “mathematical points of force” behind all market action. The Periodic Table of Elements determines a system of order based upon atomic structure which generates a master number set for each market defining its structure in price and time.

Sean Erikson, a trader and fund manager with 25 years’ experience, provides a set of powerful astro-tools for advanced swing trading based upon celestial mechanics. The key tool uses an astronomical component which consistently and beautifully predicts the angle of attack or slope of a forthcoming trend. This is combined with a simple astro-timing tool which indicates the next 1-3 turns out and a geometrical price projection tool which provides the two most probable price projections for each move.

Rundle’s expertise lies in decrypting the complex hidden codes that W. D. Gann used to veil his deeper secrets in his book The Tunnel Though the Air. People spend decades studying and attempting to decode the meaning behind this seemingly sappy romance/sci-fi novel, without realizing that it is really a scaffolding for a vast template of knowledge centering around cycles and astrological relationships.

Straker's Universal Golden Keys Series uses Circular Scaling thru Time-by-Degrees to provide the key to accessing Pendulum Motion in the financial markets. Straker reveals that the core of Gann Science is dependent upon specific, hidden scaling techniques needed for tools to work. He has cracked Gann's scaling system and shows how Golden Mean is hidden in Gann's work.

Sundberg's The Secret Science of Squaring elaborates a major series of insights within the field of W. D. Gann’s astrological market forecasting. Sundberg has rediscovered an approach to the application Gann's of astro-geometric price/time conversion and projection principles which operates to square price and time on market charts using a system of planetary geometry and astronomical timing.

Dr. Lorrie Bennett is one of the only Gann experts to have cracked the Law of Vibration! After 20 years of grueling research she discovered a complex code in Gann's texts which led her to the full solution. Following in Baumring's footsteps, Dr. Bennett lays out the science behind the Law of Vibration in an intensive 4 Volume Advanced Series revealing the Patterns, Numbers, Planets & Geometry behind Gann's secret trading system.

A detailed exploration and analysis of W. D. Gann’s Mechanical Trading System illustrating Gann's trading strategy over a period of 15 years. Gann turned $3000 into $6 million over this period, producing a 1400% return in the first 8 months alone. This study provides the foundation that Gann required for ALL of his students before learning to forecast. These techniques still work today producing 570% return in the S&P in 2014 in 3 months!

W. D. Gann’s 1929 Annual Stock Market Forecast

The following is a digitized version of W. D. Gann's 1929 Annual Stock Market Forecast:

 

General Outlook for 1929

 

This year occurs in a cycle, which shows the ending of the bull market and the beginning of a prolonged bear campaign. The present bull market campaign has lasted longer than any previous campaign in the history of this country. The fact that it has run longer and prices have advanced to such abnormal heights means that when the decline sets in, it must be in proportion to the advance. The year 1929 will witness some sharp, severe panicky declines in many high priced stocks.

The history of the stock market has always been that it discounts prosperity and that in doing so prices always advance too far. In other words, the stock market runs too far ahead of prosperity and the first decline is only a readjustment back to what stocks should sell according to their merit and investment return. Then, when business depression sets in and earnings start to show a falling off, stock prices continue to go lower, discounting unfavorable business conditions.

But such groups of stocks as the oils, sugars, rubbers and some of the agricultural stocks, which have been depressed and declined while other stocks advanced, will record much higher prices in 1929. New and popular industries will continue to prosper, such as, radio, airplane, chemical and electrical concerns. This is the electrical age. People take quickly to new inventions, especially those which provide for the convenience and comfort of living. This will increase the earnings of concerns manufacturing new electrical appliances.

Many stocks will be distributed and will work lower while the stocks in strong position work higher. With such a varied list of stocks representing so many industries in different parts of the country, it is not reasonable to suppose that they would follow the same trend by any means.

More and more business is getting into the lines of mass production, mergers and consolidation. The big companies are getting the business while the smaller companies find it harder to get business enough to return a fair amount on their capital stock.

During the early part of the year, business conditions will not be up to general hopes and expectations. In the spring and summer, business will improve and the outlook generally will be cheerful. But again in the fall of the year, depression will set in and unfavorable business conditions will cause big declines in stocks. Money rates will be high the greater part of the year.

During the year 1928, the public has entered the stock market on the largest scale ever known in history. Foreigners have bought our stocks more than at any time since or prior to the outbreak of the World War. The American public is no longer making safe investments in stocks. They have the gambling fever and are buying everything regardless of price, simply buying on hope that stocks will continue to go up. This is a dangerous situation and has always resulted in a big decline. There will be no exception in this case.

The man who makes money buying stocks in 1929 will have to use greater discrimination than ever before in selecting the right stocks to buy. When once stocks have reached final top and start on the way down, they will continue to work lower and rallies will get smaller. Those who hold on and hope will have big losses. The markets will move over a very wide range and sharp, severe declines will be followed by quick rallies. It will be necessary most of the time for a trader to be very nimble and change position quickly in order to take advantage of the opportunities as they develop in an active market.

WHAT WILL CAUSE THE NEXT DEPRESSION IN BUSINESS AND DECLINE IN STOCKS?

PROSPERITY! The great wave of prosperity, which this country has experienced during the past few years, has been in many ways responsible to the stock market. The great increase in the value of stocks has increased the borrowing power of various companies and has permitted expansion and even inflation. The pendulum has swung so far in one direction that many people have forgotten that it can ever swing back in the other direction, but one extreme always follows another and it will not fai1 at this time. Stocks, like water, always seek their level.

The great earnings of many large corporations during the past year cannot be expected to continue. Over confidence is just as bad as extreme pessimism. It is just as easy for a big man to make a mistake, as it is a little man. In my judgment many of the wisest speculators who have made large fortunes out of this bull campaign will overstay their market and be caught just the same as they have in the past. Then when the decline gets under way and they try to liquidate in a bear market, they will bring about a real smash in prices. It is one thing to mark stocks up to dizzy heights and quite another thing to be able to sell all of them near top prices. As stocks decline, forced selling both by pools and the public always comes into the market and causes prices to go lower than they naturally would if there had not been over speculation. The public never has been considered good leaders in a bull market. The fact that they are now in the market in greater numbers than ever before makes the technical position of the market more dangerous.

INFLATION: The volume of trading on the New York Stock Exchange during 1928 was the largest in history and at this writing the total sales for the year have exceeded 750,000,000 shares and will approach 900,000,000 by the end of the year. Stock Exchange seats have had the greatest advance in history. Brokers’ loans doubled in 1927 and 1928. Such enormous volume of trading at extreme high levels with feverish markets and wide fluctuations can mean only one thing, - that the pools and insiders have taken advantage of public buying to liquidate stocks and when once they have sold all they have to sell, they will not support the market. With the public so heavily involved in such large numbers and being unable to support the market, when once the decline gets underway, it will be more sharp and severe than ever before. Loans will be called and bankers will make new loans only on the very best security. We will hear of many stocks being thrown out of loans.

Another contributing factor to inflation was our large holding of gold but this has changed materially during 1927 and 1928 when more than half a billion of gold has flowed out to foreign countries and there are no prospects that it will not continue during the next few years.

INSTALMENT BUYING: People are still living beyond their means and installment buying continues on a large scale. We believe it will yet prove to be the greatest menace to business and to the prosperity of the country. When depression sets in and unemployment increases and people are unable to pay for goods which they have bought on a credit, buying power will be reduced and many companies will not only lose business but will lose money on goods sold on a credit.

AGRICULTURAL SITUATION: Has been so unfavorable during the past few years that the Government has had to devise means to help the farmer and no doubt President Hoover will see that some law is passed to remedy this condition. However, we are in a cycle, which is likely to produce crop failures or a series of small crops for some years to come. This will reduce the purchasing power of the farmer and help to bring about deflation in stocks.

PROSPERITY COMPLEX: The recent wave of seeming prosperity has been due to the psychological effect on people. They have watched stocks go wild in the past three years until they are hypnotized into believing that every concern and everybody is prosperous, but facts do not confirm it. During 1927 about 45% of all concerns making income tax returns showed a loss in business and 1928 will not be much better. It is now a survival of the fittest. The small businesses are failing more every year. Conditions are changing so fast that many old firms are being forced out of business. Electricity and oil are taking the place of coal and wood. Automobiles supplanted the horse, and the railroads, despite the large increase in population and business, have not shown as great earnings as they did 20 years ago. Many industries have not been prosperous for some time. The textile, coal and agricultural industries have suffered. The oil situation has been bad until recently. The rubber industry has been demoralized by low prices. Sugar has been at low levels for the past two years. When people realize that prosperity is not general and confined to only a few lines, and then they will have the “panic complex."

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE: As long as the public believes that everything is all right, they will hold on and hope, but when public buying power has exhaust itself and the largest number of stock gamblers in history lose confidence and all start to sell, it requires no stretch of imagination to picture what will happen. When the time cycle is up, neither Republican, Democrat, nor our good President Hoover can stem the tide. It is a natural 1aw. Action equals reaction in the opposite direction. We see it in the ebb and flow of the tide and we know that from the full bloom of summer follows the dead leaves of winter. Gamblers do not think; they always gamble on hope and that is why they lose. Investors and traders must pause and think, look and listen, and get out of stocks before the great deluge comes.

WAR: Our great prosperity has caused jealousy throughout the world, and as conditions get worse in foreign countries, greed and, jealousy will lead to war. It is the hungry dog that starts the fight. A study of the rise and fall of nations shows that when any country enjoys unusual prosperity for a long period of time, war is one of the main causes of the start of depression. While we hear a lot of talk about peace, the facts show that many of the leading foreign countries as well as our own country, are spending more money preparing for war than ever before in their history. When a man or a country is armed and gets ready to fight, he usually gets what he is ready for.

FOREIGN COMPETITION: Germany is rapidly coming back and competition for trade will be keener in the coming year. Many of the other foreign countries are making desperate efforts to regain their pre - war trade and will make progress along these lines, which will hurt our business.

INDUSTRIAL STOCKS – MAIN TREND OR MAJOR SWING

The Industrial Curve this year is based on the Dow Jones' 30 Industrial Stock Averages. Previously the Dow Jones' Averages, which are published by the Wall Street Journal, were based on 20 industrial stocks, but in the latter part of 1928, they changed from 20 to 30 and our Curve is based on the 30 Industrial Stocks. The stocks now used in these Averages are: Allied Chemical, Am.Can, Am.Smelting, Am Sugar, Am.Tobacco B, Atlantic Refining. Bethlehem Steel, Chrysler, Gen. Electric, Gen. Motors, Gen. Ry, Signal, Goodrich, Int. Harvester, Int. Nickel, Nash Motors, Mack Trucks, North American, Paramount, Postum, Radio, Sears Roebuck, Standard Oil of N. J., Texas Corp. Texas Gulf, Union Carbide, U.S. Steel, Victor Tk., Westinghouse, Woolworth, Wright Aero.

From the low level in August 1921, to the high level in November 1928, the 20 Industrial Stocks recorded an advance of about 230 points, the greatest advance in history. The fact that these Averages advanced nearly 100 points during 1928 is unparalleled in history. This year is like 1906, 1916, and 1919, when such violent fluctuations were witnessed and large volume of trading took place, only to be followed the year after by a panicky decline.

The minimum between extreme high and extreme low during 1929 for the 30 Industrial stocks will not be less than 50 points and the maximum fluctuation may be as much as 90 to 100 points. This means that many of the high-priced stocks will fluctuate 150 to 200 points between extreme high and extreme low prices. The lower priced stocks will move in a narrower range and will not make as much as the minimum between extreme high and low.

Most of the Dow Jones’ 30 Industrial Stocks will follow Curve #1 very closely. The high point for most of these stocks will be reached around January 12th. After that time, prices should gradually work lower and the trend should be down until around March 28th to 29th, when bottom will be reached for another bull campaign. Many stocks will reach bottom around March 14th to 15th and remain in a narrow trading range until the bull campaign starts in April. When the advance gets under way, some stocks will reach top for the year in May, others in June and some of the others, which are behind the market, will reach final high in August as shown by Curve #1 and Curve #2. A large majority of stocks will not go any higher than the highs reached in the month of July. After July and early August, the main trend will be down and some sharp declines will take place, prices working lower and reaching first bottom around September 27th to 28th. From this level follows a fair - sized rally and a trading market running into the early part of November. After that, the big bear campaign will get under way and stocks continue to work lower, reaching extreme low level for the year around December 23rd to 24th.

There are now over 1500 stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange and often in one day over 800 different issues are traded in. Therefore, the 30 Industrials and 20 Rails do not always represent the main trend or curve of the market and many stocks will run in opposition to this trend. That is why I am giving you Curve #1 and Curve #2 on Industrial stocks.

Industrial Curve #2 represents the stocks which are in strong position and many of which are not included in the Dow Jones’ 30 Industrials. Many of these stocks have declined during 1928 and have been accumulating. They will advance while other stocks decline. Curve #2 indicates low around January 2nd followed by an advance up to January 31st; a decline to February 7th and high of next rally around February 15th. Then prices will work lower, making bottom around March 11th. Watch the stocks that make bottom at this time, as they will be the ones to lead the advance. After the low in March, this Curve continues to work higher with only moderate reactions until high is reached around May 17th to 18th. From this top a bigger decline will take place. The last low is indicated around June 22nd. From this level the stocks, which are in strong position and behind the market will gradually work higher, some of them reaching top during July while others will not reach final top until August 14th to 15th. After this top is reached heavy liquidation will start and prices will work lower from every rally. First decline culminates around September 30th; then a rally making top on October 2nd, followed by a decline to October 24th; then a final top around November 2nd to 4th, followed by a big decline, reaching bottom around December 18th to 20th; then a rally to the end of the year.

RAILROAD STOCKS – MAIN TREND OR MAJOR SWINGS

The Railroad Curve is based on the Dow Jones’ 20 Railroad Stock Averages published by the Wall Street Journal. The issues used in these Averages are as follows; - Atchison, Atlantic Coast, B. & 0, Canadian Pacific, Ches. & Ohio; Rock Island, Del. Lackawanna&. Western, Erie, Illinois Central, Louisville & Nashville, N.Y. Central, New Haven, Norfolk & Western, Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania,Pere Marquette, Southern Pacific, Southern Railway, Texas & Pacific, and Union Pacific.

From the low in June 1921, to the high in November 1928, these Railroad Averages advanced nearly 80 points. They have made the highest price in history, getting above the extreme high level recorded in 1906. The fact that they advanced into new territory in the latter part of 1928 shows the possibility of many rails, which are in strong position going higher during 1929. But the fact that during prosperous times the railroads have been unable to earn an average of 6% on their capitalization does not make them very attractive from a speculative standpoint. Only those, which have merit and show large earnings, will have very big advances during 1929.

The fluctuations between extreme high and extreme low during 1929 are not likely to be less than 20 points and the average may be as high as 30 to 35 points, which means that many high - priced stocks will fluctuate 50 to 75 points between extreme high and low.
The Rails as a rule follow the forecast trend better than the Industrials because they represent only one group of stocks while the Industrials represent fifteen or twenty different groups. The Dow Jones’ 20 Railroad Stock Averages are representative of the railroad group and most of the railroads will follow Curve #1 very closely, therefore it is not necessary to give Curve #2 this year.

Railroad Curve #1, you will notice on page #2, runs down from January 2nd and bottom is indicated around the 5th to 7th. Top for the month of January is indicated around the 15th and after this date the main trend is down, prices working lower and reaching first bottom around March 9th to 11th and second bottom around March 28th to 29th. Accumulation should take place around this time and a bull campaign should start. First top is indicated around May 3rd to 4th; then a decline, followed by an advance with second top, possibly a little higher, around June 3rd. Then another decline and irregular market, reaching low level around June 28th and 29th. After that prices will work higher until around July 15th; then decline to the 22nd, followed by an advance to around August 8th to 9th, when final top on rails should be made for another big decline. After this top, prices will work lower from every rally. A big decline is indicated for September; another sharp decline in October, reaching bottom around the 23rd to 24th; then a rally running to around November 21st to 2nd followed by a decline to December 24th, when the 20 Rails will reach the lowest price of the year.

The following Rails are in the strongest position and should have the greatest advances at the times when the bull campaigns are indicated:

  • Atlantic Coast Line
  • Bangor & Aroostook
  • Brooklyn Man. Transit
  • Chicago Gt. Western
  • C.M. & St. Paul Com.
  • C.M. & St. Paul Pfd.
  • Del. Lackawanna & W.
  • Erie
  • Gt. Northern Pfd.
  • Hudson & Manhattan
  • Kansas City Southern
  • Mo. Kansas & Texas
  • Missouri Pacific
  • New Haven
  • Northern Pacific
  • Seaboard Air Line
  • Wabash Common
  • Western Maryland

The Railroad stocks given below are those, which are in the weakest technical position; have had advances and show distribution. They will be the best short sales on rallies during the times that the Forecast indicates declines.

  • Atchison
  • Baltimore & Ohio
  • Canadian Pacific
  • Chesapeake & Ohio
  • Rock Island
  • Delaware & Hudson
  • Lehigh Valley
  • Louisville & Nash.

With the large number of stocks now listed on the New York Stock Exchange representing the various industries throughout this country and foreign countries, and as these different groups of stocks are affected by supply and demand and the varying conditions in the different parts of the United States and by events which transpire in foreign countries, it is impossible for them to all reach extreme high or extreme low on the same date or even in the same year or the same month. The different time element of the various stocks and groups of stocks will cause some to advance while others decline. Therefore it is well to watch the individual stocks. Watch those that make top in May, those that make top in June and those that make top in August. The ones that make top in the early part of the year and fail to reach higher levels in July or August, will be the ones to lead the decline, because they will have had longer time for distribution.Guard against selling short the late movers until they have had time to complete distribution. You will receive a list of stocks in strongest position and those in weakest position with the Supplement on the first of each month.

The Dow Jones’ 30 Industrial stocks are representative of the active Industrials and most of them will follow the Industrial Curve very closely, but some of the individual stocks which are in strong or weak position will vary from this Curve and make tops and bottoms at different times. These special stocks and their position will be covered in the Supplements each month.

The New York Herald Tribune Averages on 70 stocks are a more active and reliable trend guide now than the Dow Jones’ 30 Industrials. I am giving the stocks used in these Averages because I will often refer to them in the Supplements issued on the first of each month during the year. The range of these 70 stocks between extreme high and low should not be less than 40 points and will probably reach as high as 70 to 80 points. They take in the representative stocks from the following groups:

COPPERS: Am. Smelting, Anaconda, Cerro de Pasco, Calumet & Ariz., Greene Cananea, Kennecott and Tennessee Cooper & Chemical.

EQUIPMENTS: Am. Car & Fdy., Baldwin Loco, Gen. Ry Signal, Pullman.

FOODS: Am. Sugar Pfd., Armour & Co. of Del Pfd., California Packing, Corn Products, Nat. Biscuit.

MOTORS: General Motors, Chrysler Motors, Chrysler Motors Pfd., Jordan, Hudson, Mack Truck, Stewart Warner, Stromberg, Studebaker, White.

OILS: Atlantic Refining, California Petroleum, Houston, Marland Oil, Pan American Pete “A”, Pure Oil Pfd., Standard Oil of Calif., Standard Oil of N.J., Texas Company and Union Oil of California.

HOW TO TRADE WITH THE FORECAST

The time given for tops and bottoms is the most important factor for you to know and watch. It makes no difference about the price a stock is selling at. So long as you KNOW WHEN it will reach low or high levels you can buy or sell and make money. When the Forecast indicates bottom at a certain date and stocks decline, you should buy the ones given as in strong position or the ones we recommend buying and place a stop loss order 3 to 5 points away according to the price the stock is selling at. With stocks that sell at $200 to $300 per share, it is often necessary to use a stop loss order 10 points away because you have an opportunity to make large profits and can afford to take a greater risk.

Watch the action of stocks around the dates when the Forecast shows that tops or bottoms are indicated and when they hesitate for a few days and fail to make new high or low levels, you should get out and reverse position. Keep up charts and follow the rules in my book, Truth of the Stock Tape, and you will be able to follow the Forecast to better advantage and make more profit.

Do not expect the Averages or individual stocks to advance or decline as many points as shown on the graph or Projected Trend. This is only a guide to show you when big swings and activity are indicated. For example: - Industrial Curve #1 begins at “O” on January 2nd and runs down to “7” on January 5th to 7th, a decline of 7 points on Averages. Some high - priced stocks may decline 10 to 20 points at this time while other low and medium - priced stocks will decline only 2 to 5 points. While some stocks which are late movers and in very strong position will follow Curve #2 and move up during January at the same time that high - priced leaders decline, the main thing is that Curve #1 shows a sharp advance from January 5th to 7th up to January 12th and Curve #2 shows up trend all the month of January. Therefore you should watch for a decline and buy the strong stocks around January 5th to 7th; then watch for top January 12th to 15th, sell out and go short of the stocks, which are in our short sale list. Then on January 30th, if there has been a big decline as shown by Curve #2, you should cover shorts and buy for a rally and if stocks advance to February 13th to 15th, watch for top, sell out longs and go short because Curve #1 indicates a big decline the last half of February and during March.

The big buying opportunity will come in March. Around March 10th to 11th and 28th to 29th, you should buy the best stocks to hold for the spring bull campaign into late May. Both Curve #1 and #2 indicate a big decline from July and August to December, therefore from July and August you should play the short side and wait for rallies to sell short rather than buy on breaks because the main trend will be down and you should never buck the trend but go with it.

Remember you must buy and sell at the right time regardless of prices. No matter how high stocks are, if they are going higher, you should buy. It makes no difference how low they are; if the trend is down and they are going lower, you must sell short and go with the trend. Take a loss quickly if you see that the Forecast is off or you have picked the wrong stock. Do not hold on and hope. Delays are dangerous. It is easy to make back small losses, but hard to regain big ones. Follow the rule cut short your losses and let your profits run. Learn to act quickly. How much better to take action now than to trust uncertain time. You can always get in the market again so long as you have money. New opportunities always come if you have patience and cash to take advantage of them.

1929 PREVIEW

JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND MARCH

While the New Year opens under favorable conditions and you will hear much about great prosperity and the newspapers will be optimistic for the future, the bright outlook is likely to be clouded with war or complications in foreign countries. Trouble is threatened to the United States thru Mexico or Japan. Peace pacts are likely to be broken. Spain and France will arouse opposition. Agitation over religion in some of the foreign countries will disturb peaceful conditions.

Great storms are indicated in the south and southwestern parts of the United States during the early spring. Much loss and damage by fire. In March when President Hoover takes office, if some law has not already been passed, he will advocate having one passed to help the farmers. This will cause an advance in commodities and in turn help agricultural stocks. Airplane concerns will make rapid progress in the spring and from a panicky depressed stock market in February and March, a spring bull campaign will take place. Steel business will be quite active. Electrical concerns will do a large business and there will be a boom in oil stocks.

APRIL, MAY AND JUNE

The spring quarter indicates unfavorable weather for starting crops. Storms, rains, and danger of a tidal wave along the Gulf of Mexico. Commodity prices will advance and business in general will improve. A wild wave of speculation in oils, coppers, rubbers, sugars and airplane stocks will make this a very active period. Along in May or June, foreign competition will begin to hurt business in some lines in this country. This will cause a depressing effect on stocks and they will decline.

JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER

During this period, some of the foreign countries will prosper and we will have great competition to face. War or trouble with foreign countries, is threatened. A very mixed market during this period with some stocks advancing while others decline. Speculation will shift from stocks to commodities on account of short crops. Foreign crops will be short in some of the countries. Storms and unseasonable weather will cause damage.

August will be marked by many electric storms and damage by fire. Some new discoveries will help chemical stocks around this time. Germany and France will make great strides in aviation.

September: - A great change in business conditions will set in around this time which will cause a severe decline in the is stock market. Textile and woolen stocks will prosper and these will be among the last stocks to advance. During the months of April, August, September and October, there is danger of war and trouble thru foreign countries.

OCTOBER, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER

Settlement of the debt question with France will again come to the front. Other countries will arrange some favorable agreement in regard to trade, which will cause business depression here. A great change in the business outlook will set in as we near the end of the year. Corporation earnings will show depreciation and be disappointing.

The month of October indicates some advance in mining stocks. The oil and sugar stocks will be among the last to advance around this time. During November the chemicals and oils will have a boom for a short time and make final top. In December foreign business with South American countries will be good, but we will have competition from some of the European countries.
