Many thanks for your interesting post in defence of George Bayer over William D. Gann. However, please find below the opposite viewpoint, that has been expressed by Gann-enthusiast James Smithson.

More specifically, throughout the 1930s and 1940s Bayer wrote a number of books

Some years ago I examined all of Bayer's books, which allowed me to form an

In one of Bayer's books (I think it was "George Wollsten: Expert Stock And Grain: R- J ~- D$ q; S+ [( |1 K7 J/ |
Trader", written in 1946) Bayer actually mentions Gann. Indeed, I believe that,

principles of astrology and he subsequently discovered some corroboration of

similarly examined astrological influences on the stock and commodity markets,
