Scott, your Discovered???? Discovered???? Man the things you get credit for is probably slightly out of line here. Fibonacci discovered a series (in thirteenth century!) with many nice properties, which I am not going to list here. The fact that the series is so simple to discribe does not mean it is trivial to derive and study all the properties of this series. I am telling you this as a professional mathematician. BTW, here is one more example of a "trivial" math thing: famous Last Fermat Theorem. This theorem sounds so simple that my 6-th grade daughter can easily understand what it is about. However, it took CENTURIES of efforts from mathematicians to prove it. Only recently is was finally accomplished by one brilliant guy, who had to work for years and link together very different fields of math and incorporate studies of many other people into his work, to reach his goal. And it so happens, that stock market likes Fibonacci numbers. The discussion on this you can find in any book on TA. Musya.
