Just in case it happens

Generally, I am looking at this DJIA area of price and time for a great market top.  That's not uncommon nor is my, typically, being wrong.  Generally, we are 88 years from the 9/3/1929 market top.  In round years, that 88 years, a number that has popped up very often.  For example, the number 11, 77 and 88 are the only three appearances of acrostic/telestic repeating double digit numbers (there are 3 instances of '00') found in WD Gann's "Map of Time:"

We find, above, the telestic word '88' spelled in consecutive digits to end lines 8366 and 8377.  Interesting that 11 and 77 add to 88.  Also interesting the content of the narrative of the instant and previous paragraph.  I've discussed all this before.

So I'm brought to this point today by my search for a replacement light shade fixture.  In response to a Google search for a glass mushroom shade fixture the 9th item on the second page of search results is a 1908 add in "The Daily Eagle."  How bizarre is that? 

Well, its bizarre to me because I've studied several articles that I know to have been published/planted by WD Gann in his hometown newspaper.  Google "Market Time and Price Town Hall" and "Brooklynn Daily Eagle" if you want to see what I found.

Now, 1908 rang a big bell as well.  Wasn't it the year of the "Ticker Interview?"  So I Googled WD Gann and 1908 and, sure enough, I found the "Trading Fives" copy of the document.  But its was 1909.  It was brought up because the year 1908 was in the interview referring to the story, myth, legend of WD Gann predicting Union Pacific, then selling at 168 1/8 would never get to 169:

Now the '168' rings a bell.  The number of lines in "The Tunnel Thru the Air" as counted in the MOT are 15341.  Counted downward and then upward as has been done in the MOT, we have 30682 lines and this divided by 365.242 days in a year is 168 years to the third decimal.

And we all know (said facetiously because I did not know until I studied prophecy about two years ago), that 168 is 1/15th of a Biblical Great Week of 2520 years.  Gosh, I could really stray (again facetiously) here since the number 252 is one of the three numbers with I believe Mr. Gann held in great reverence (the others being the aforementioned 168 and 432, the latter being the actually page in TTTTA). 

So where are we, this day, of September 15, in the Dow.  We are trading at this moment at 22,218 or 168 X 132.25.  Hmm, 132 is the 11th square of 12 and we find the number 11 in the opening paragraph and spelled acrostically on line 2813 and 2814:

Disconcerting, I find one iteration of my name spelled in consecutive letter.  The subject of the narrative is, trading cotton.

Well, I haven't tied in the number 77 (the number of years in WD Gann's life, an interesting story in itself that I've documented) but, it is 88 - 11 so lets find that third of three encoded numbers in the MOT:

Again, my name is spelled in consecutive acrostic, telestic letters, but I'm getting used to that.  Again,  the subject touches on trading but this time to indicate the fruits of Robert Gordon's work.

This is what I struck on today.  I said that this area of time and price had already intrigued me and it was because of the date, "September 17," which appears only once in TTTTA.  It appears at the exact half way point of the number of lines in narrative text of TTTTA:

At the exact center line of TTTTA narrative we find the 23rd of 46 instances (also halfway) of John Dee's name, this time using the encoded signature which he used with Queen Elizabeth I, that being "007."  And we find that Robert sold short Major Motors.  Should I sell short today since September 17 is this Sunday?  I've traded on less convincing "evidence," to my shame.

These are only clues and I'm known to be spectacularly wrong in my interpretation of subjective clues (if they are, in fact, intended clues).  Its a lesson learned that subjective clues can never displace the value of perfect mathematic reason.  I'm presently working on the mathematics of the diatonic scale (Gurdjieff recounted by Russell Smith and Pyotr Ouspenskii)....once again led there by the intentionally imperfectly presented poem of the "Anvil of God's Word" (page 128 of TTTTA or low "c" plus 1).   This essay is only a recreational departure.  Actually, my entire TTTTA research effort is recreational now I come to think of it.

168 X the 11th square of 12 (22176) is whereabouts we are trading today.  Might this be a juncture at which we speculate that, similar to the 1908 fable documented in the Ticker, DJIA exceeding168 but not getting to 169 X the 12th square of 12 (24192)?

I offer this convoluted trail of nonsense only because it would be startling if this came to pass.  I'm more inclined to trade it than ignore it; but only barely.  

And if today, September 15 or Monday, September 18, proves to be a top, "the" top, well, it would be a synchronicity in real time that we can all experience and prove to ourselves;  arguably, an 88+ year-old prediction realized.

Nah.

[Incredible, Monday September 18, aforementioned; the date of passing of Mae LeGrand in 1932 I found on the 13th grave stone at the point of the Gann Gravestone Geometry triangle, the date in 1920 which links Luo Clement (non de plume of WD Gann as I have, IMO, overwhelmingly proven) to the Einstein Editor (another non de plume of WD Gann IMO otherwise absent conclusive proof), and September 18, 2007 the date we lost our 25 year-old son...several other instances of that date come to mind but none to compare to those items.  And when I hit the "publish" button, what popped up but the third of WD Gann's philosopher stone numbers of 168, 252 and 432:

With this essay I've published 432 essays, the number of pages in TTTTA.]
