Humankind has always been fascinated by the notion of auguring. For obvious reasons, this is particularly true where the stock market is concerned. While some of this exhibit's authors purport to divine future price movements through the study of astrological or historical cycles, others have taken a more mathematical approach using graphs and statistics to predict price movements. This last approach is commonly referred to as "technical analysis." Whatever the means, however, the prospect of forecasting stock market movements remains controversial: while some market scholars insist it can not be done, others such maintain that prices move in distinct repeating patterns that hint at upcoming moves. Both camps are represented in this exhibit, from the most adamant nay-sayers to the most meticulous technical analysts.
A technical analysis primer that surveys the accuracy of certain prediction techniques in forecasting major market moves of the 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's. The author also introduces the "Bean Line," a new prediction tool predicated on the notion that stock prices are 'sandwiched in"' between two major economic forces, business cycles and market averages." First edition, hardbound with dust jacket.

Rhea aims, in this book, to show that "the Dow-Jones averages are not merely a record of stock market changes but (when properly understood) they afford a composite index of all the hopes, disappointments, knowledge, and inside information of those whose financial business judgement determine the pattern and the trends of American business."

First published in 1924, this book not only provided readers a valuable introduction to the mechanisms behind the stock market and speculative tactics but, as the publisher maintains, in an "era when stock movements were considered deep mysteries by the average man, this work helped to dissipate prevailing ideas of the market as largely, if not solely, a manipulator's game." Paperback reprinted edition.

Bradley SiderographManfred Zimmel( -bradley.htm; 2002) The Bradleysiderograph was developed in the 40ies by Donald Bradley toforecast the stock markets. Bradley assigned numerical values tocertain planetary constellations for every day, and the sum is thesiderograph. It was originally intended to predict the stockmarkets. The noted technical analyst William Eng singled out theBradley as the only 'excellent' Timing Indicator in his book,"Technical Analysis of Stocks, Options, and Futures" (source:Astrikos). It is crucial to understand what the siderograph isabout since almost all traders (and even and even financialastrologers!) misunderstand it. Over the decades it has beenobserved that the siderograph can NOT (!!!) reliably predict thedirection but only turning points in the financial markets (stocks,bonds, bonds, commodities) within a time window of +/- 4 calendardays. Inversions (i.e. a high instead of a low and vice versa) arequite common. Also, it is not a timing tool for short-term trendsbut rather for intermediate-term to longer-term trends because theturning window is +/- 4 calendar days. 2ff7e9595c
