Offshrttrst:
1. It would be helpful if you signed your name to your e-mail.
2. Where is this magazine "past, present, future" published?
3. MMurrey may indeed have much of value for us.
4. I'll repeat what I have said many times: If Gann were as good a trader
as his legends he would, at the very least, owned this country. It is
difficult enough for most people to learn a new method or understand a new
idea, without the proponent making it difficult
thanks for this posting.
