Time....(part 1)

Do We Measure it Correctly?

We set our alarm clocks to get up at a certain hour. We rush to catch a bus or a subway at a certain time so we can be at work for a certain time. We know what day of the week it is when we look at the calendar which was created by Pope Gregory with his Inter Gravissimas Papal Bull edict in 1582.

But is this the proper way to measure time? Is it possible that the human species is hard wired deep within its DNA to recognize a different measure of time?

How would we know if in fact we are hard wired to march to a different measure of time?

It turns out (and it has taken me a long time to figure this out…) that the evidence for the human species being attuned to a different measure of time is staring us in the face. In fact, I have now realized that there are several measures of time that we react to. We just don’t know it….

Here is a chart of Tesla share price. I have annotated the chart with a series arcs in light green font. Each arc is the same size and covers the same number of axial spins of Earth (ie… calendar days).

One arc starts at a price pivot in July 2024 and ends at a swing low in March 2025. The next arc then runs until November 2025. The arc in play right now will end in July 2026.

Can you spot the timing mechanism behind these arcs?

Here is the same chart and this time I have added a series of arcs in red font. One of these arcs starts at a price swing high in December 2024 and terminates in March 2025. The next arc ends at a swing/pivot point in June 2025. The next arc ends just as the share price explodes to the upside in September 2025. That arc ends at the geometric mean of a bullish run that took share price from just under $400 to just over $480 in November-December.

Can you spot the timing mechanism behind these arcs?

A stock chart with all its up, downs, pivots, and swings is what mathematicians call a time series of data. Back in 1898 a very clever British mathematician figured out that a time series chart is actually comprised of overlapping cycles. He used the mathematics of early 1800s French thinker Joseph Fourier to uncover the cycles behind a time series chart of data.

In the early 1900s a German immigrant to America realized that measuring time by looking at watch device was not accurate. His name was George Bayer and in the 1940s he was generous enough to write down his various trading rules. However, they require some deep introspection to fully understand.

And this is where I have to draw a line in this post. The detailed explanations that follow are for subscribers only…. I trust you understand…
