Contents: (from the book's introduction), Divination, as a form of entertainment, can hardly be surpassed. It is often productive of surprising results, and it frequently reflects the spirit of individual, in a manner which will be explained later. The chief problem, however, is to find a satisfactory method of divination: one that will have some logical foundation, and that will be scientific in nature. This is accomplished through the employment of numbers, which represent the foundation of scientific knowledge. Mathematics, in its various forms, is remarkable in its exactitude. Numerology, or the interpretation of numbers, is the most effective of occult sciences. So, in the solving of mysteries, we have the science of Arithmancy, or Divination by Numbers, which has been practiced throughout the ages, and which has formed the basis of many types of calculation. Arithmancy is founded upon laws that are logical, and well interpreted; and it is the type of divination used in the tables that compose this book." -- 167 pp., Collectible First Edition, no dust jacket.

About the Author: John Winthrop Wright, was the founder and chairman of Wright Investors' Service, an investment management and advisory service company. The Company is still active as of the October 2012 posting of this book listing. Mr. Wright began in securities analysis by evaluating his own stock portfolio, and then started Wright Investors in 1961, developing it as an investment advisory service for Wall Street firms. He had a strong belief in conservative investments based on extensively researched companies. In a 1981 article in The New York Times, Mr. Wright was quoted as saying, "There's a lot of difference between gambling and investing," and characterized most stock traders as gamblers. "I have nothing against it," he added, "but that's not the business we're in." The company also publishes weekly economic reports for its clients -- mostly banks and brokerages -- discussing general trends and making specific stock recommendations. In 1985, Wright Investors founded the Worldscope Database, a subscriber service offering information on 13,000 companies, some of it dating to Mr. Wright's original 1960's research. Since 1990, Worldscope has been jointly owned and operated by Wright Investors and the Primark Corporation. The bulk of Mr. Wright's investment capital came from the sale of the Wright Power Saw and Tool Corporation, which he founded in 1947 and sold in 1954 to Thomas Industries of Louisville, Ky. After he sold the tool manufacturing company, he was a senior partner for four years in Andris Trubee, a financial consulting firm, and managed the bankruptcy of Rototiller Inc., from 1958 to 1959, before devoting himself to managing his own investment portfolio in 1960. Mr. Wright graduated from Amherst College in 1933, and worked for various banking corporations before World War II. -- end. EXTREMELY SCARCE, HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE.

Contents: from the Foreword, "For several decades our attention has been centered on the commodities markets. The low margin offers terrific leverage possibilities. The high volatility of prices offers fantastic opportunities for tremendous profits (and losses). The markets also offer the greatest of all possibilities of pyramiding wealth to undreamed of heights (if you are right). Some have the very erroneous idea that to make money in the markets one must be on the phone to a broker ten times a day getting the latest prices, news and ideas. Perhaps that is the reason ninety percent of traders lose their money -- they let others influence them and take their money from them. You must learn to get a handle on your own trading and control your own destiny, and not leave it to others who obviously have less interest then you do in your fortune and fortunes. (maybe he meant "future and fortunes?) These statements may shock you, but hear lies the truth which will enable you to make money in the Markets: SOME OF THE BEST AND WEALTHIEST TRADERS ONLY GO IN THE MARKET FOUR OF FIVE TIMES A YEAR WHEN THEY DEFINE A PARTICULAR PRICE MOVE WHICH VIRTUALLY GUARANTEES A PROFIT. TRADERS SHOULD DIRECT THEIR EFFORTS TOWARD CAPITALIZING ON MAJOR PRICE MOVES. It is with that objective in mind that the Schiff Technique was developed - selecting those few trades per year that offer the grand prospect of great profits. You will love it - $$$." -- end. 69 pp.,

Summary: This is a great little trading book where Mr. Schiff tries to simplify the charts based on supply and demand factors to isolate the best probability moves. Written in 1984, Schiff focuses his attention on price moves in commodities and includes numerous charts and tables to illustrate his principles. Scarce, Highly Collectible.
