Lecture Notes from the Investment Centre Seminars
of Dr. Jerome Baumring Notes on W. D. Gann's Hidden Material

Introduction

Julius Nirenstein was one of Dr. Baumring's closest private students and friends, and was fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend 14 different seminars (there were 3 groups of seminar students, so earlier seminars were repeated more than once with differing material, depending on Dr Baumring's mood).

When a number of students were asked for their notes in order to compile a good representation of Baumring's teachings at the Seminars, it was found that most students had only 5-10 pages of notes per Seminar, because they had been so intent upon following the lectures, they had not had the opportunity to write much down. Julius' Notes fell in striking contrast to the others, for they included everything in everyone else's notes and far, far more. As a graduate from Harvard with a Doctorate in Jurisprudence, Julius was well schooled and intent on taking detailed notes, since as a private student he could spend as much time as he desired with Dr. Baumring discussing them in detail at a later time.

We feel that Julius' Notes give an even better presentation of Dr. Baumring's Seminars than many people gained through attending them, since they went home with very little memory of the difficult concepts presented by Dr. Baumring and very few notes to help them recollect. Both private and seminar students who worked with Dr. Baumring have found these Notes to be an endless source of knowledge and teaching, continuing the education that Dr. Baumring started, now that he is now longer with us.

Students who have discovered this material since Dr. Baumring's time have found these notes essential to understanding Baumring's teachings while studying the Seminar Manuals and Reading Lists. In fact we do not sell each of the Course Manuals any longer without the accompanying set of Lecture Notes, because without them, the student would be missing the primary teaching of Dr. Baumring which is ONLY presented in the notes.

Many feel that they actually have a greater opportunity to understand Baumring's teachings now, with the addition of the Notes (and a second set of different notes from Alfred Friedman) and the ability to acquire all 9 Seminar Manuals immediately, rather than waiting several years as required during the Seminars. We have also released and noted the books which Dr. Baumring shared only with closer students who exhibited greater determination in their studies, allowing a more complete resource of background material than was previously available.

Why ALL the Lecture Notes MUST be Studied Along with the Course Manuals

There are two key parts of Baumring’s Seminar Courses, first the Manuals which have 100’s of separate short sections pulled from miscellaneous books which Jerry felt were the most important and best presentations of key concepts and principles that he would be discussing and weaving into his larger Gann theory.

These Manuals were sent to students BEFORE the Seminars and students were expected to have read them BEFORE they arrived. Sadly, few actually did so, so many students were unprepared for the lectures, to the endless annoyance of Baumring. So, those Manuals and then the books which he specifically mentioned or photocopied for students were THE MOST IMPORTANT reference materials for the study of his interpretation of Gann. Once can save a LOT of time by only focusing on Baumring’s KEY selections (other than things he missed or have come along since his time).

But so far here, we still have NONE of Dr. Baumring’s actual teachings themselves. Only his collection of references, which one can go a long way with, as many of the most advanced Gann analysts out there have through his inspiration. But it’s the LECTURE NOTES that provide Jerry’s actual TEACHINGS and explanations of how all these things go together to form Gann’s system…

Jerry did not have a script for his lectures, other than a set of sequential slides for an overhead projector, upon which he would draw lots of notes on plastic sheets as he went along through the lectures. So, each one of his different Gann 1 Seminars done at different times (he did 3 of them, and maybe 2 each of the first 5 Seminars) contained different content other than following a particularly thread of the slides… as he went off in 100 different directions based upon momentary inspiration or student questions.

That is why Julius’s Notes have 3 sets of Gann 1 Notes, 2 sets of Gann 2 Notes, 2 of Gann 3, etc., because Julius used to attend every Seminar that Baumring put on. He was a Private Student and as such, could attend every repeat seminar for free, so he took advantage of these superb learning opportunities… Thus, each set of Notes you’ll discover has different content in it. Julius was a Harvard educated JD, so he was an expert note taker and ended up being the ONLY person we could initially find who had really excellent and detailed Lecture Notes.

Then, after the turn of the century another, old student who had worked at Banker’s Trust at the time gave me a copy of another student, Alfred Friedman’s Notes, where there were another couple hundred pages from another excellent note taker. Each student took different type and quality of notes, and Baumring spoke 1000 miles an hour so that everyone struggled to keep up, but no one managed to write down everything. As such, each set of Notes is quite different and filled with missing pieces and insights or references that the others missed.

So, the more notes we have the better we understand what Jerry was really teaching. Those who have studied both Julius Nirenstein’s Notes and Al Friedman’s Notes, like Lorrie Bennett, have confirmed that there are many details in either set that are missing from the other, and that each note taker had a different style and content that their notes end up containing, Julius with deeper theoretical principles and Al with more practical applications. So one cannot go without either of them.

That is all the Seminar Notes we have found. There was one woman who took shorthand of the whole Seminar Series, whom we have searched for, but could never find. That is too bad as it would be wonderful to have everything Baumring said written down. Just before Jerry died, he had finally agreed to video tape the Seminars so we would have a clear record of it. It’s such a shame we never made it that far, as he died very soon later.

So, this explains why it is essential that anyone studying the Baumring material MUST study BOTH the Course Manuals AND BOTH SETS of the Lecture Notes. It is the ONLY way to gain access to everything that Jerry taught at the Seminars, and to see the widest picture with the most details possible.

Sample Pages of Dr. Julius Nirenstein's Lecture Notes

The following 11 pages of Notes have been selected from the 250 pages of Complete Notes to give interested individuals an opportunity to evaluate the quality of content and readability of this material. The numbers at the top center of the pages tell which Seminar it represents (1-9), the underlined numbers on the top right tell where in the 250 pages it stands. We feel we have included enough pages to allow a good evaluation of this material, and want to make clear that every page of the Notes is of the same level of content, these are NOT the 10 best pages! The visual quality is better on paper than on these low resolution scanned pages, making the parts which are a little blurry here perfectly clear.

Note the concepts discussed and the type of Gann material explained, for it is considerably different from most modern popular interpretations and explanations of Gann Theory. NOTE: THE SAMPLE PAGES BELOW ARE IN DR. NIRENSTEIN'S HAND WRITING, HOWEVER THE FULL NOTE SETS ALSO INCLUDES A SET OF TYPED TRANSCRIPTIONS OF THESE NOTES.
