Precious Metals Market Timing
Go with the tide, and not
against it

"Time is more
important than price; when time is up price will reverse."
-W.D. Gann
The road less traveled may
be paved with gold but it has a silver lining. The W.D.Gann 30
year Master Cycle points the way.
The following are a few
instructions from W.D.Gann.
"There is a time for everything."
"All the laws of nature teach this. There is a time to sow
and a time to reap. The four seasons of the year teach us that
there is a reaping time and a sowing time, and that we can not
reverse this order of nature's laws. It is the same with the
stock market. There is a time to buy and a time to sell. You
must learn to go with the tide, and not against it."
"It is the same with the
commodity market. The young generations either have inherited
money or they make money, and they want to take a chance. It
is the nature of the young to gamble, to take chances,
and to be fearless of danger. Therefore, the young generation
is anxious and eager to try their hands at speculation."
"When you learn the past
history of a commodity, learn the way it is running, what cycle
it is in, and then make a trade on definite knowledge, your chances
for success are 100 % greater."
"Nothing will help you
more than going over the past history for commodities, and studying
its actions under different periods. If you know what a commodity
has done in the past, you have a better chance to determine what
it will do in the future."
"The farther back you
have a record of a stock or commodity and the more you study
it, the more you will understand its actions and know when it
is making tops and bottoms. You should become thoroughly acquainted
with the stocks and commodities you trade, and by studying them,
you will learn their individual moves which are peculiar to themselves."
"Everything moves in cycles
as a result of natural law of action and reaction."
"Time is the most important
factor in determining market movements because the future is
but a repetition of the past and each market movement is working
out time in relation to some previous cycle."
"By studying time cycles,
you will learn why tops and bottoms are formed at certain times.
In order to be accurate we must know the major cycles."
"30 year cycle"
"This is the main cycle
and the minor cycles are proportionate parts of the 30-year cycle
or circle."
W.D.Gann, thru his massive
studies, discovered the importance of time in the markets. However,
he did not have the ultimate timing tool. We do, and it is called
the Delta turning points. The Delta turning points cover the
intermediate, medium and long term time factors.
Combining the W.D.Gann 30 year
Master cycle and the Delta turning points we can arrive at an
approximate time for a major silver bottom. The charts posted
below will be our guide. One is from the past, 30 years ago,
and one is from the present. Before we look at the charts let's
review the importance of the 30 year cycle.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE 30
YEAR SILVER CYCLE.
Silver bottomed on November
3, 1971.
30 years later Silver made a double bottom on November 26, 2001.
Starting on November 3, 1971,
silver advanced for 2 years, 3 months and 23 days.
30 years later starting on November 26, 2001, silver advanced
for 2 years, 4 months and 7 days.
Silver topped on February 26,
1974 and had a vicious decline of 43%.
30 years later Silver topped on April 2, 2004 and had a vicious
decline of 45%.
Silver bottomed on January
26, 1976.
30 years later Silver is due for a Delta long term # 4 low on
February 15, 1976.
In addition to Gann cycle studies
and Delta turning points, I have observed that the waves from
Elliott Wave movements always terminate at a Delta turning point.
I have found this to be a most valuable observation when attempting
to project wave movements. We know when the Delta turning points
are due but without Delta we can not know when any Elliott Wave
is due. With Delta we have what Elliott was missing. The Gann
Master cycles, Delta turning points and the Delta turning points
used to project Elliott wave movements are the three most powerful
market tools I have observed. My observations cover a 50 year
period.
On to the silver charts. One
is from the past and one is from the present.
The 30 year cycle in silver
is repeating.

medium # 6 low due November 16th.

Elliott Wave Theory
CRITICISM
"The theory is far from
universally accepted. Critics deride it as being too vague to
be useful, since there is not always a clear definition of when
a wave starts or ends, and prone to subjective revision."
Wikipedia
Elliott Wave theory would be
of much greater value if you knew in advance when a wave would
top or bottom. The Delta turning points provide the information
that the best of wave theorists have never had. Delta can tell
you when to expect a completed wave. No more guessing, no more
waiting for a pattern to complete in order to know when the wave
will terminate. The Delta turning points are an invaluable companion
to the Elliott Wave Theory. Without Delta the wave theory is
a guessing game. Ralph Nelson Elliott said that the wave theory
is best used to identify a completed move. That information is
valuable but it is not predictive. Combining Delta with wave
theory you will know approximately when the next wave will terminate.
"Time is more important than price; when time is up price
will reverse" -W.D. Gann.
Delta, W.D.Gann and Elliott
Wave Theory combined are the "Trinity" of technical
analysis. Time has been the missing ingredient with the wave
theory. It has been found by using the Delta turning points.
