W. D. Gann – författare

W. D. Gann’s justly famous work on the trading of commodities.“I am writing this book to supply a universal demand: and give rules that will forecast the trend of commodities. Conditions have changed rapidly during the last few years and will change more rapidly after this great war is over than ever before in history. Men will return to the soil of Mother Nature to make a living. Investors and speculators will have to look for new ways to make money in the future and will find it more difficult in the stock market; therefore, the necessities of life, the basic commodities, will offer greater opportunities than investments in stocks and bonds, providing the trader knows the rules to follow.“My object is to write something that will be helpful to people in trade lines and to those who have long years of experience in the commodity market, as well as the inexperienced trader who wants knowledge and needs to learn the ways to start right, and to protect his capital and make profits. Life affords no greater pleasure than that of helping others who are trying to help themselves.“I am going to give the best of my forty years of experience in this book, and I hope to show others the way to help themselves and follow mathematical rules in the commodity market, which will result in profits. I do not believe in gambling or reckless speculation, but am firmly convinced, after years of experience, that if traders will follow rules and trade on definite indications, that speculation can be made a profitable profession. Trading in commodities is not a gambling business, as some people think, but a practical, safe business when conducted on business principles.“I offer this book to the public with a sincere conviction that if they put in the time studying, they will derive great benefits.”

WILLIAM DELBERT GANN (1878-1955), or W. D. Gann, was a finance trader who developed the technical analysis tools known as Gann angles, Square of 9, Hexagon, Circle of 360 (these are Master charts). Gann market forecasting methods are based on geometry, astronomy and astrology, and ancient mathematics.In this book written just after the outbreak of the Second World War, the author traces the patterns that he believed would underlie the future to 1950. Prescient and deeply thought-out a fascinating read

When I wrote TRUTH OF THE STOCK TAPE in 1923, it was because there was a demand for a book of that kind. People needed the help that I could give them and the benefit of my experience and knowledge. In that book I gave the best I had and received my reward. People appreciated my efforts. They bought the book then and they are still buying it. They say it is a good book and more than worth the money. That is very gratifying to me.After the 1929 bull market culminated there was a demand for a new book to meet changed conditions under the so-called “New Era,” so I wrote WALL STREET STOCK SELECTOR in the spring of 1930. I gave freely of my knowledge and the benefit of years of experience. This book helped others to protect their principal and make profits. People who read the book pronounced it one of the best. It is still selling, and again I have been rewarded.No man can learn all there is to know about forecasting the trend of stocks in 3, 5, 10, or 20 years, but if he is a deep student and hard worker, he learns more and knowledge comes easier after years of experience. I knew more about determining the trend of stocks in 1923 than I did in 1911. Seven more years of experience gave me more knowledge and enabled me to write the WALL STREET STOCK SELECTOR in 1930 and give my readers the benefit of my increased knowledge. Now, after five more years have elapsed, my experience and practical test of new rules have enabled me to learn more of value since 1930. The 1929-1932 panic and what has followed since, gave me valuable experience and I have gained more knowledge about detecting the right stocks to buy and sell. I cannot lose if I pass this knowledge on to those who will appreciate it.

In this inspirational masterpiece about the role of the human being in the universe, finance trader and author W. D. Gann uses the Bible to explore the secret to successful living. Through direct teachings from the Bible, the reader may learn how to understand, obey and apply the universal laws revealed in the Bible in order to bring about his own latent talents and powers, and in turn be firmly set on the road towards health, happiness and prosperity.

Wall Street trader and author W. D. Gann’s third book, first published in 1930, is the follow-up to his acclaimed 1923 publication Truth of the Stock Tape (1923). It aims to provide traders and investors alike with seven more years of Gann’s own experiences—including mistakes made and losses incurred—by offering further tried and tested rules and methods that will help traders to study and learn how to select the proper stocks to buy and sell with a minimum of risk.
