About the Author: Born in Germany, George Bayer moved to the United States in the early 1900's in order to satisfy his American dream of becoming a successful trader on New York and Chicago's speculative markets. Upon his arrival in New York it is supposed that Bayer started out as a stock broker and gravitated to the study of natural cycles within the markets. Though little was known about Bayer, we certainly can see today that he was a most prolific and highly successful writer of books regarding financial investment.

Bayer is also noted with having authored and published one of the most unique books about market analysis entitled, "Expert Stock Trader." His highly original theories and methodologies singled Bayer out as one of the great investment giants of his time. Much like his contemporaries W.D. Gann and R.N. Elliot, Bayer was also successful in accurately predicting price levels in market movements which undoubtedly yielded great profits, however unlike Gann, Bayer did not have a good grasp of trade management, even though he did write books on the subject. Bayer marketed his financial trading services to 300 clients who took his forecasts, yet there is no solid evidence that states he sold as many lessons on the subject as Gann did. Gann and Bayer did have in common their successful ability to deliver their trading theories through code in their writing and both did rely much on their study of ancient writings as the basis of their knowledge. One example is a book Bayer wrote entitled "George Wollsten: Expert Stock and Grain Trader," which is a story many believed was written with a code format which when decrypted, would reveal a hidden message leading to information on how to accurately calculate the natural cycles of markets. This title contains forecasting methods and trading rules based upon his astrological indicators and ellipse. Very Important and Rare work by Bayer on Financial Astrology. This Reprint is an exact facsimile of the 1940 Edition, but does not include the 12 laid-in charts advertised in the title, it does include the 3 illustrations and ALL content listed in the Table of Contents.
