Gann/Elliott stuff is still extremely popular among pro traders, and Gann was into this Astrology stuff. His son claimed Gann died broke, and made all his money selling his trading courses. -g- Quants who use scientific stochastic models for probabilities tend to win consistently, though. -g- en.wikipedia.org

Reading your post, this came to mind: "The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable." ~ John Kenneth Galbraith and while trying to make sure my quote was correct, I found this * "An economist is a man who states the obvious in terms of the incomprehensible." ~ Alfred A. Knopf and one I hadn't heard before: "Everything reminds Milton Friedman of the money supply. Everything reminds me of sex, but I try to keep it out of my papers." ~ Nobel Laureate Robert Solow MP
