Contents: This is very interesting and entertaining piece of History were Wall Street and Gold Speculation collide. There is no date on this book, but after researching some of the events found in this book I would put it somewhere between 1920 and 1940. The goal of this booklet is to persuade investors to invest/speculate in the United States Milling and Smelting Co., because they are about to build a custom Mill at the Mouth of the Newhouse Tunnel. (According to Wikipedia the Newhouse Mill was closed indefinitely in January 1943 after an accident killed 4 minors AND the federal government ordered all Gold Mines in the US to shut down, to free men and material to mine metals considered more essential to World War II. -- Here is the pitch on the back page of the booklet "Opportunity, The opportunity for expansion ahead of The United States Milling and Smelting Co. is so great as to be almost beyond credence. The Establishment of the Company's new mill at the mouth of the Newhouse Tunnel will open a new market, for the handling of a lower grade of ore than possible at the present time, and the influence of this corporation can be made to reach every section of the mineral bearing regions of the state. The local conditions in Clear Creek and Gilpin Counties are unsurpassed. Clear Creek itself flows sufficient water to generate electric power to supply every mine and mill in the two Countries, the volume is one hundred and forty cubic feet every ten seconds." -- An enticing pitch and as we look back to that period it's just another example of how unexpected outside interference can effect a host of great speculation opportunities. The last page lists the company's Branch Transfer office address in New York. Some great copywriting in this historical piece. 24 pages, Collectible.

Using the principals outlined in this book, Mr. Bean professionally advised his clients that the May, 1962 break was in the offing, and did so at the peak of the 1960-61 bull market. In this book, Mr. Bean applies the same seemingly uncanny talent to predicting the stock market that he has applied successfully to predicting weather, crops, business fluctuation, commodity prices, and of course, election results (he was almost alone in his prediction that the Democrats would win the 1948 election.) This Study is a clear and readable book, profusely illustrated with Charts, which shows that the factors that make the market move are there for all to see, and use, if one knows how to read them. -- Very interested book on forecasting, 242 pages, Collectible.

One of the things I like best about this book is that it STARTS with a few chapters on "trader emotion" and trader psychology. This was a rare topic to be covered in 1970's era trading books. Additionally they put a great deal of emphasis on "Feds" stance which I also think is an important variable to have on ones side, especially when evaluating "undervalued" stocks.

Confusion de Confusiones (Englsih Version w/ 14 Page Introduction) by Joseph de la Vega

Confusion de Confusiones (English Version w/ 14 Page Introduction)
by Joseph de la Vega

Book Description: 1688. Soft cover. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Softcover, Velo-Bound, REPRINT, 8.5 x 11, Portions Descriptive of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange Selected and Translated by Professor Hermann Kellenbenz Hochschule fur Wirtschaftsund Sozialwissenschaften, ENGLISH VERSION, original Spanish version 1688, this translation 1957.

Book Condition: Very Good. No Dust Jacket.

Contents: This book contains selected portions of the original 1688 version that were directly related to the Seventeenth Century Stock Exchange in Amsterdam. These accounts by de la Vega are widely regarded as the first written observations and descriptions of how the Stock Exchange operates. Trade and speculation in shares first appeared in Amsterdam when, in 1602, the six local "chambers" for East Indian trade were united into a general Dutch East India Company. This is a fascinating read on it's own, but I found the lengthy Introduction invaluable. This "Introduction" is not found in other versions of this book.Contains a two page Forward by Aurthor H. Cole, Research Center in Entrepreneurial History, Harvard University, and a fourteen page Introduction by the principle translator Hermann Kellenbenz. Professional trades will find the similarities of the Seventeenth Century Exchange far outweigh the differences of today's modern exchanges. The Introduction also includes some important historical content that provides a good backdrop for the de la Vega dialogues. 56 pages.

A MUST READ for any serious trader.

Book Condition: Very Good, some light soil and rubbing to covers, corners gently bumped, pages clean and bright, no marks.

Contents: This book in divided up into five parts. Part one deals with Stock Market Trading Syndicates in general. What they are: their nature, characteristics and goals. This part runs from page 9 to page 15. Part two deals with one of the most important functions of the syndicate: the function which consists in the choice of the right stock. Obviously, the choice of the "right" stock would eliminate most of the syndicate's difficulties. To be "right" a stock should answer certain basic requirements. This part enumerates and elaborates these basic requirements. Pages 15 to 22. Part three deals with the actual operations of the syndicates. It answers the question: what do syndicates do after they have chosen the "right" stock in order to achieve their objectives? The steps they follow are indicated. Pages 23 to 31. Part four contemplates the trajectory of the syndicate. It studies the syndicate as a dynamic entity in its operations: the course the syndicate takes in its efforts to achieve its objectives or to recognize its failure. Pages 31 to 35. Part five takes up the matter of the syndicate from the view-point of the average investor. To what good is the syndicate to me? How can I benefit from the existence and the activities of the syndicate? Can I form a syndicate of my own.

The Alpha Strategy, 8. Level One: Invest in Production, 9. Level Two: Save Consumables, 10. Level Three: Save Real Money, 11. Level Four: Toward a Theft-Free Future. -- From the Jacket: "The Alpha Strategy" is a refreshing, common sense idea that can completely and permanently insulate your assets from all investment risks, including inflation, depression, taxation, and market manipulation. Best of all, it requires no specialized investment knowledge, it can be followed by anyone (no matter how little capital he may have), and it is totally risk free." John A. Pugsley is a best selling author, economist, and investment advisor. His first book, Common Seen Economics: Your Money, What It Is & How to Keep It, sold over 150,000 hardcover copies and was instrumental in guiding thousands of individual investors through the tumultuous investment markets of the 1970's. This book, The Alpha Strategy was on the New York Times bestseller list for nine weeks in 1981. Even after 30 years in circulation (as of 2011), The Alpha Strategy is considered a standard reference on stocking up food and household goods as a hedge against inflation. This has made the book popular with survivalist. John A. Pugsley passed away after a heart attack in April, 2011. He was also one of the founding members of "The Eris Society," and in 1997 he also helped found "The Sovereign Society," an international organization dedicated to maintaining the privacy and protecting the wealth and liberty of it's members. The society is primary geared toward expatriate relocation and offshore banking and trusts. My favorite chapter is 8. Investing in Production where he suggests a "production" vs. "consumption" mindset. Recommended Reading. 234 Pages.
