Lost, before Ben there was Charles Dow who figured it out in the late 1800's. In the early 1900's they had already placed the point in fromt of Charles Dow's figuring and came up with Point & Figure. By the 1920's it was in full use. Before Ben's teachings there were books out on the P&F method by Victor Devilliers and by 1940's Earnest Staby was involved and planting the seeds for the concept of the Bullish Percents. By 1950 A. W. Cohen stepped in and in 1955 created the first Bullish Percent Index on the NYSE. Next Earl Blumenthal stepped in and gave the Bulllish Percent Life with his twists on risk levels. A. W. Cohen Died and Mike Burke took over as editor of Chartcraft and still is. Mike is one of Wall Streets all time greats. I had studied A.W.Cohen and Blumenthal Thoroughly but missed the nuances of the BP. Back then most people only looked at P&F charts. A.W. Only wrote 1 1-2 pages on the BP, Earl extended it. Earl's son took over on his death but was u nable to keep going the teachings of his father. In my early P&F days I also studied Jim Yates who was a great friend of mine and in my opinion a Wall Street Great. His Zone theory was very effective and still is. Many value buyers would do will if they added the supply/demand factor to their selection and management. This is turning into a book. better hop. t
