Try "Looking Back from 1940"

Focusing on "Tunnel Thru the Air or Looking Back from 1940" pages 82 and 83.  Most see two primary prophecies; the periods 1930-33 and 1940-44.  The Great Depression and World War II.  But there's a set of 3 additional prophecies in my opinion to which I've alluded frequently; that anchored by the 266th Pope.  And one hasn't happened yet.

First, let's work out some math of the "Looking Back from 1940" which is the anchor of the 1930-33 and 1940-44 prophecies.

• 1940 minus the greatest closure of the NYSE and the initial years of WW I….namely 1914.  That's 26 years.  

• 1940 minus the crash of 1929 is 11 years.  Could be 12 year if you measure from late in 1940 rather than January 1, 1940.

• 1940 versus the onset of WWII is 1 year or as much as 23 months because the US officially entered the war with Pearl Harbor or December 7, 1941.  

Now we know Mr. Gann wasn't so daffy as to discuss the great events following the election of the 266th Pope as if they were contemporaneous with the 1920s…or 1930s or 1940s.  Mr. Gann was anything but daffy.  Eccentric, idealistic….and clearly a genius.  He was ministering to the current generation in my opinion.  He was talking to us, right now.

The 266th Pope is Pope Francis, elected on March 13, 2013.  There is debate on the number, but that's because of anti Popes and how they are handled.  Ignoring the debate, the official record has Pope John Paul II as the 264th making Pope Francis the 266th (see Wikipedia for details).  The anchor is March 13, 2013, but let's consider it 2013 because Gann's 1940 hasn't a finer date.

• 2013 minus the 26 years between 1940 and 1914 gives you the crash of 1987.  

• 2013 minus the 11 years between 1940 and 1929 gives you the bottom of the 2000-2002 Tech Wreck.  That is, if you consider the 11 years as an accurate measure.  Kinda depends when 1940 was January 1, 1940 or December 1, 1940.  The latter wold make the interval 12 plus years and that would put you in the midst of 2001, and, of course, the market acceleration attending 9/11.

So that puts us at the look forward period comparable to Gann's prediction of WWII or 1940 plus 1 year.  So now we add 2013 plus between 1 year and 23 months.  Even more play in the dates if you consider any time in 2013 as opposed to the exact date of the 266th Pope's election.  

• At the earliest, we have January 1, 2013 plus 1 year giving us January 1, 2014; not yet.

• Using the date of election, you could be looking at as early as March 13, 2014; not yet.  Or as late as February 13, 2015 (election plus 23 months); wait and see.

•  Or, yet again, you could start a 23-year period in December 2013 maturing in December 2015.

Seems to me Gann was pretty darn accurate with 2 prophecies made in 1927 on pages 82 and 83 which manifested in 1930-33 and 1940-1944.  And, having thrown the "266th Pope" anchor out there (or was Gann confused), it seems he got another 2 prophecies (1987 and 2001-02) close enough for government work…..especially CBO AFC scoring work.

So how ya feeling about 2015-17?  What would Dirty Harry say?
