     If the Gann book you have happens to be 'How to Make Profits in 
Commodities', that question has already been answered.

     Gann wrote on page 68:

     'The basis of money is 100 cents to a dollar....they have become used 
to dividing the dollar into eighths...this makes the natural resistance 
points for prices...dividing the dollar by eight we get...'

     The 381 high is the median between the 3/8 and Fibonnaci .386 of the 
natural square of 1000. I do not know the actual low, but have been told it 
is this number divided by 10, and the median of 3/8 of 100 and .386 x 100.

     Let me know if you have the actual low whether this is accurate as 
reported.

     From what I see, what Gann was talking about is using the dollar as a 
metaphor for the natural squares, the static resistance levels.

     Definitely questions we should be asking on any subject.

     Static squares can be of any scale.

     Question for the day: What is 9/8, and would that level appear to be 
important to the Dow over the last year?

     Sorry if your question was rhetorical. I thought I heard another 
question in there.
