Below is what i sent (in part) as an email to you all, March 25 2004. Let's have a look and see how we went. (I suggest a quick re-read of that below before progressing further.)

Very close to 28/12/04 saw quite an emotional event - not obl related though. Confirmed 9/11 as a mid point in my view. Coincidence ? Who can say.

The Dow changed direction 30 months off 9/11, also the month that rocked the US with all the prison abuse stuff. 45 months is June this year. 60 months, September 06; 90 months (7 and a half years) is March 09, and could be relevant to the turn of the real estate cycle. March 09 will be an interesting month to watch. It will mark a turn in some fashion. As to the SPI dates, the beginning and end of month dates did pretty well, (but ought not be interpreted just on their own, price and time counts are also important, as is the existing trend), I marked the ones I thought obvious. If you look closely, the market usually trends into and out of these dates, often stopping to pause on these dates too. This is simply counting 30 60 90 etc off past major turns. Such a count off the March 03 low proved the most interesting for 2004. (Great turns in May, June, August and October) Have a look also at the market moves at each point of the square counting off Jan 27 2004 (ie 90 180 and 270), which indicates a bit of violence for the end of this month, so watch the Iraqi elections i'd say.

For the rest of 2005, we can anticipate emotional times mid April, first week of June, and first week of August.

And just out of interest, whilst on such counting, for the recent Tsunami, Time magazine, Jan 10 2005 issue, gave a list of past similar highly destructive events, here they all are below as listed, to which I add the year count as i always do: Chilean earthquake, 1960, sending waves to Hawaii and Japan - 44/45 years ago Alaskan earthquake / Tsunami, 1964 - 40 years prior 1755 earthquake off Portugal sends huge waves crashing into lisbon, 60 000 dead - 249/250 years ago, but not a significant number there 1908 tsunami off Italy, 96 years ago

plus, the Krakatoa quake and eruption and ensuing tsunami was 1883 - 121 years back

Who knows ?

In the Gann class, one of the things I pointed out after extensive discussions about time, is how things follow patterns time wise, using degrees and circles. One of the examples pointed to is how the terrorist attacks have unfolded so far. Note the recent stupid attacks in Madrid - again on the degree date linked to Sept 11th. You can be certain obl was involved; it is his timing. The dates we watch for obl are degree counts off 11/9/01 and 26/10/01, which came about as follows, which I reiterate for your interest;

On the 27th August, 2002, I sent the following as part of an email to subscribers at that time:
"CNN has been making a big deal of the obl tapes unearthed recently. I am assuming you have heard of them. What was revealing however, was one part of the tapes I saw, showing obl's declaration of war against the US, in front of a few selected journalists. Apparently this interview by obl received very little acknowledgement at the time. I always take note of the dates of these things now, having seen so much of Gann. So I was watching the tapes with the sole interest of hopefully getting this date. I guessed that it would have been relevent to what happened later, and, no suprise, it is. The date obl publicly declared war on the US was 26/5/98. This is of course the 2nd degree date we had been using, running off 26/10/01, being 45 days off 11/9/01. You should do more with this date also. And I hope it occurs to you to do this now, if not, it should. Calculate the days between 26/5/98 and 11/9/01, being 1204 days. Now that is close, but not really close enough to be exact, to 1260 days, 180 weeks (the importance of this time frame is highlighted in the book of Daniel) So I would add at this stage, 1204 days to 11/9/01, which is 28/12/04. I would be very surprised if around this date, something significant related to obl did not happen. Adding 180 weeks gives 22/2/05, should also be watched."

For your additional info, the recent gann class also noted that March 04 is 30 months from Sept 01, a decent market change of trend can be expected in the US at this time for the same reason. And extensive volatility for that country, and terrorism in general. The circle is the basis of how Gann forecast into the future. Rest assured it can be done.

Now to this years dates. The following dates will be the tops and bottoms, ie more important changes of trend for Australian markets this year. I urge you to follow them by reference to charts of the respective markets, ie the SPI. As to which dates are more important, and whether they will be highs or lows, well I have not yet worked out exactly how Gann knew all of that yet, though I do have some ideas I'm working on.

you should also have the degree dates worked off sept 11th 01, which brought in the low last year march 13.

a count off 27/1/04 might also prove interesting.
