The Secret Sexual Life of the American Moth

The Secret Sexual Life of the American Moth, The Psychological Forces That Quietly Undermined America's Economic Foundation and The Math of Why it's Too Late to Recover.
by Douglas Allen

Book Description: In progress, to be published Summer 2012.

Summary: For years I have read, posted and sold hundreds of books covering the financial markets, economic theory and trading strategies from all angles. It's given me an incredibly broad perspective on how the universe and how markets work.

There are and have been scores of books written on cycles and financial bubbles, but for the most part the psychology behind the events they offer is very "surface level" and never really digs deep enough to explain fundamentally why we as a people are so prone to repeating financial disasters beyond fear and greed.

Since I have yet to find a book to give me answers, I set out to find my own. The result has been volumes of notes that I'm currently editing into my first book. What I discovered was game changing for me in the way I view crowd behavior and more importantly how I view our economy and monetary system.

The markets, our economy and our debt load are currently in uncharted territory and my hope with this title is to offer some greater perspective to the underpinnings of what got us here.

More importantly, I hope to give readers a much deeper and detailed understanding and appreciation of the strong psychology forces involved that will be much easier to predict then market direction in the coming years. For those trying to game theory an outcome it will offer essential insight.

With a collection of over 3000 financial books, I swore I'd never write one since the same material has already been hashed over a million times before with a slightly different angle from a thousand different authors. Well, I caved. Hopefully this one will be different, fingers crossed.

Regardless, It's been a tremendously enjoyable project and I look forward to sharing it later this summer.

About the Title: In 1975, C.M. Flumiani wrote the book, "The Secret Sexual Life of the Stock Market." To date, this is still one of the rarest financial books in existence but I have yet to find and read it. Why it's been included in the title will be explained in the book.The "American Moth" part, I'm sure you've already figured that out.

Lecture Notes on Types of Economic Theory, Volume I

Softcover, Blue card wrappers with black title to cover and spine, First Edition published 1949, Lecture Notes on Types of Economic Theory As delivered by Professor Wesley C.

Book Condition: Good, covers heavily rubbed and soiled, top of spine cover torn, previous owner name in pen to top of front cover, spine and title page, slight bio-damage to title page, pages tanned but otherwise clean, no marks, no dust jacket.

Contents: Professor Wesley C. Mitchell (1847-1948) delivered his famous course of "Lectures on Types of Economic Theory" at Columbia University during the 1930's. An extremely popular course, it attracted students from all over the world. It was not unusual to find all the seats occupied in the old lecture room of Fayerweather Hall, as students crowded in to hear Professor Mitchell's lucid and penetrating analysis of the contributions of the great economists to development of economic thought.

Professor Mitchell discussed each leading figure with a characteristic dry humor and warm sympathy that served to bring their ideas to life in a truly remarkable degree. But what he was most deeply concerned with was the dependence of these ideas of the great theorist on the major social and economic issues which "troubled their generations."

It is fortunate then, that the lectures were stenographically transcribed by John Myers, a student attending the course delivered at Columbia in the fall of 1934 and the spring of 1935. -- 261 pp. Extremely entertaining read, especially considering the period in the 1930's when this was written. (We also carry several of Mitchell's other works).

Behold the sun in its splendor, as it gives forth the glowing shades of sundown; even so does the transcended light within, throw forth its many colored vibrations, through its agency, the aura. So may we all upon the canvas of life depict a picture of startling brilliancy and beauteous colorings." -- 490 pp.,

Summary: (from the Introduction), "The object of the present volume is to render the thoughtful reader more pensive concerning the vast depths of the inner mental realm. All the elemental powers of the earth are nothing in comparison with the powers of the mind. The intricate machinery of the universe is directed by thought. Of this illimitable universal machinery, man's mentality is a quality. Through conscious direction of this quality, the highest ambitions can be realized. To the thoughtful reader, the present volume seeks to point out the rationality in the great fact of nature, and to demonstrate that man is an all-important cog in the natural machine.

It discusses, moreover, the natural laws and explains their immutability by pointing out an instance where a natural law has been violated and the consequences which followed subsequent to the violation. The tenor throughout is highly optimistic, and where a bleak picture has been painted, it was done to accentuate the bright which follows thereafter. The theory of the volume is that the great mental life which governs man can be shaped, guided, and controlled by man himself through suggestion. Positive thoughts only, build." --

Excellent early work that discusses the natural laws that govern the process of manifestation. Recommended reading for those interested in crowd psychology. Illustrates some important components in understanding the basis of financial bubbles (what happens when natural laws are violated; as with fiat currencies). 238 pp.

If nothing else, this is a great example of his questionable mental condition and artistic flare for illustrating his theories on price movement within the context of Elliott's Wave Theory and Flumiani's Cylinder Theory. Very Collectible for Flumiani enthusiast, but there are better instructional titles out there for those really interested in learning about Elliott Wave Theory. 112 pages.

Each issue has an average of about 18 pages, so about 198 pages of data total.

About the Author: Edson Gould is regarded as one of the best market technicians of all time, albeit his enviable track record was logged during the 1960s and 1970s, before the Dow had even cracked the 1,000 level. All the same, he is relevant because he was the first to suggest that economic fundamentals and monetary conditions alone could not explain (or predict) stock market behavior.

He began his exhaustive studies as an analyst for Moodys in the 1920s, intent on building a model that could accurately predict the movement of stocks. Edson Gould had great difficulty finding a relevant pattern to the stock markets. In his frustration, he stumbled upon a principle that guides our understanding of the psychology of the markets even today. And for investors, following the Gould-en rule, regardless of market conditions is profitable. Edson Gould carried indexes back as far as 100 years, incorporating everything from Newtons laws of motion to quantum physics, and found that regardless of how much you knew about the underlying fundamentals, you still didn't get very accurate stock market answers. I recognized that economic and monetary forecasts and trends were vital in projecting stock prices three and four years out, but came to the realization that they could have little value when trying to forecast stock prices over a period of weeks, several months, or even as many as two years, said Gould. He knew another key variable was at play one that would fill in the blank, so to speak, and explain the markets random behavior (over a shorter time period).

Everything changed when Edson Gould read the book The Crowd, by French social scientist Gustave Le Bon, which was a study of the popular mind based largely upon the experience of crowds in the French Revolution. Upon reading and re-reading the book, Edson Gould came to the initial realization, since reinforced, that the action of the stock market is nothing more nor less than a manifestation of mass crowd psychology in action. And given that crowd psychology is not something that can be accurately predicted, trying to surmise the stock market's next directional move is folly.

It's simple really. Easy money and an economy that fosters prosperity make the likelihood of an extended bull market very good. Strained banking resources and guarded spending limit the possibility of such a price advance. Everything the market does, the day-to-day volatility of prices can be attributed to the mood swings of the crowd.

Think of the stock market as an emotional auction of sorts: The market auctions up until there are no more buyers. AND Then it reverses and moves down until there are no more sellers. All market activity occurs within this framework. Through this lens, its easier to understand how psychology directly affects the manner in which the auction commences. By focusing on proven investment strategies, we can remove ourselves from some of the influences of the crowd. -- Extremely Scarce Title, Highly Recommended Reading, 24 pages. PHOTOCOPY REPRINT.

Contents: Among the great questions of our times are: "Why do people, knowing better, get themselves into such terrible situations?" and "Why aren't we able to use our own intelligence more effectively? The field of study called General Semantics is concerned with how people perceive the world around them and how they adapt to or cope with their environment. It is a subject much broader then the stock market, and for that matter, much broader than material considerations; for it involves emotional and psychological forces that affect every angle of life: business and play, family relations, fears, hopes, ambitions, frustrations and satisfactions. Some of the points discussed touch on basis problems of perception. Over and above everything else is the study of just what moves people to act, what motives drive them to decision. And the realization that the primary motivation of people is not money as such, nor love of family as such, nor sex, nor godliness, nor ambition as such, but concerns the preservation of "the self." In this book, Magee outlines some of the basic principles of General Semantics with special reference to their meaning in the market. 423 pages, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING, Collectible.
