Back when Billy Jones was still hawking all of the Gann paraphernalia ....
First he started with all of Gann's books. He then moved over to peddling Gann's courses (those mostly written in the fifties ... nineteen fifties that is).
Then, a few years later ... when he was running one of his road shows ... He started selling the "Gann Wheels".
The story went that this "wheel", basically a square of nine with a few overlays ... was found in the Gann belongings that Billy (the former deputy sheriff and participant in other scams) Jones had purchased .
It was on display and you could see that it was worn, to the point of what appeared to be the grip marks of fingers well worn into the square that supported the circle.
Since I was stupid enough to have purchased all of the other courses and books .... For a trifling few hundred more ... WHAT A DEAL!!!
In any event, nothing (at least that could be found) had ever been written by Gann about it ... no record of him ever having used anything like it, etc.
Well, it became one of those great things ... Just like all of those people that had "DISCOVERED THE W.D. GANN'S UNPUBLISHED, UNTAUGHT, AND NEVER DISCLOSED SECRETS ....
Around twelve years ago, there were TONS of Gann wheel touters. Many selling classes and courses and all kinds of folderol and fancy gew-gaws.
They all made losing tout after losing tout after lousing tout.
So, if any of them were stupid enough to actually believe their own stuff and trade.... they ALL went busted flat and unsecured debit.
