Excellent “interview” between Dale Earnhardt Jr and Rick Hendrick. In the internet world, we are all just some guy/gal typing away and hoping someone reads it Continue reading

This chart shows the NDX range from the take off in 1995 to the end of the bull market. Note how the correction into 2002 moved all the way down to the 1:16 slope. This is double the move of a normal market move. My assumption is that the move from 1995-2000 was actually twice the slope it should have been. Continue reading

I’ve been reading Bill McLaren’s work for a couple years and the thing he stresses the most are the day to day swings of the markets. The idea is that the trend will always have more days and points in the direction of the trend than the counter-trend. Continue reading

A Gann Fan is nothing more than a slope of a significant range and multiples of that slope. For those of you who have been following my Range Square analysis, you will notice that this is not any different. Continue reading

This is the second in a series of posts meant to provide a guide to those who have been emailing about my method. Once a range is found that appears to be significant, then vertical lines called time Gann Angles are placed using the starting and ending point as 100% of “time”. Adding time cycles will make it easier to validate (or invalidate) the range you selected. Continue reading

In general, the concept is to find the best fundamental stocks that have the highest relative strength and momentum. The list has worked well for me for me over the years. There are several fundamental calculations I use, but the main effort is to find the best Year over Year growth stocks with a ROE over 15. Continue reading

This is the first in a series of posts meant to provide a guide to those who have been emailing about my “method”. What I do is very simple. All that is needed is a price data and a tool to plot it. Continue reading

This chart of the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) is similar to the SP500 Index (SPX) square I posted yesterday. The “Y” axis is based on the price range of the move from October to March. Continue reading

As a follow up to a previous post on the Square of 90, I want to show an current example of the square in use. As discussed previously, the “Y” axis of price is arbitrary and time is the important aspect of the Gann Square of 90. Continue reading

My interpretation of the Gann Square of 90 is that it is a very simple method to measure the strength of an entity over the course of a significant time cycle - 90 days. The more I look at Gann squares, the more I believe that Gann was not directly concerned with price. The squares are meant to measure time. Continue reading

I rarely debate with people about market moves and the fundamentals behind the moves. I look at the market from a different perspective than most. Continue reading

I updated that Gann Emblems link found under the Charts heading on the right side of the page. The July and January high/low are available for the Valueline Arithmetic Index (VLE). Continue reading

In a post earlier this week I discussed my aversion to arbitrary scaling of angles and numbers in the square of nine. In this post I want to show mathematically why it is wrong to multiply/divide by an arbitrary number (usually 10) in an attempt to make the data fit the tool. Continue reading

The square of nine is often referred to in writings of and about WD Gann. Based on the books I have read, the actual square traces back to the pyramids and Gann learned of it at some point in his life. Continue reading

I noticed a couple readers using this Google (GOOG) service and think it is awesome. Those readers from all over the world that have a difficult time following my US-English posts should try this service from Google — http://translate.google.com. Continue reading
