a share and in 1968 I remembered the dream and sold all my holdings.
Sometime later I called one of their vice-presidents and he said that Freeport
Sulphur should go over $100. Acting on his advice, I bought 1,000 shares at
the top (around $80 a share) and didn’t get out until it hit $56. It eventually
went below $20 a share."
In his transactions involving Freeport Sulphur, Bill had made a handsome profit when he acted upon the advice received in his dream and lost quite a bundle when he followed the advice that he received from an officer who should have been knowledgeable about the stock. Here is another account in which a dream also enabled Bill to wind up in the black rather than in the red: "In October 1974, I dreamed, the words, "Buy Latrobe Steel," are spoken and shown to me. That was all of the dream. At that time I had heard of Latrobe Steel but did not know what kind of steel they made nor did I remember anything about the company. It was selling for $6.50 a share when I looked it up, but I did not think it looked good enough to buy any. As I watched its daily quotations, it went to $7.50, whereupon I bought 100 shares. It then declined to $6.50 and I bought another 100 shares. In January 1975 it was announced that Timken Roller Bearing would acquire Latrobe Steel, whereupon the price of Latrobe Steel shot up to $15. Timken gave 96 shares for the 200 Latrobe Steel and Timken went to $40 a share." In commenting upon this dream, Bill wrote that there had been no facts which had ever entered his conscious mind that would have induced him to buy Latrobe Steel. He only became sensitized to the stock because of his dream. I have had only one personal experience with dreams and the stock market. It began when I asked Tenny Hale, a psychic who lives in Beaverton, Oregon, if she ever used dreams in making predictions. She told me about a time back in 1973 when she needed help with an unexpected move but was not able to pay for such services. She had a dream in which a male voice called her by her childhood nickname and said that she wasn’t to offer a reward or incentive to anyone to help her move, but if anyone came to help her without thought of payment, he would receive an indirect reward. The reward was: "Tell them to buy Genesco." Mrs. Hale said she didn’t know at first what Genesco was. Later she found it was a stock issued by a conglomerate specializing in clothing and shoes. She wondered how she could encourage anyone to buy Genesco when she had been consistently advising everyone to get out of the market. She then had another dream in which the voice told her that 187
