Description
Making It in the Market is an attempt to provide answers to the questions of investors who have discovered that a new approach to making money in the market is needed if they are not, like lemmings, to continue in their habitual paths to self-destruction. The book methodizes the principles, practices, and information that should enable the investor to choose wisely fwm among the many options always opening up before him .
Introduction:
The investor is l ike a chicken unaware he is about to become a broiler. Awareness usually results from an accumulation of errors. Not, however, in the case of the investor. Decade after decade, he continues to attribute his losses either to unpredictable economic circumstances or to his own incompetence. Yet in reality the investor’s losses are caused by the infinitely elaborated controls exerted over the investment process by the big money insiders of the Stock Exchange. The scandal of the age is that mass education turns investors into puppets, the media fasten the strings, and the Exchange then hangs them.
The public’s carefully engineered images of the investment process are rooted in its assumptions about the integrity of its political, financial , and media institutions. Lacking legitimate insights into the motivations of those who head these institutions, investors are unaware that, as aspects of the investment process, they too are controlled by the big-money forces that dominate the Exchange insider establishment.
This book has been designed as a sequel to my earlier books but can be read and understood independently. The Wall Street Jungle and The Wall Street Gang were written primarily to provide investors with realistic concepts of the stock market which are suppressed by the Stock Exchange establishment. The experiences and experiments of more than a decade as an investment adviser have made clear to me the characteristics and typical procedures of Exchange insiders and the complex of conditions that enable them to dominate the investor’s decision-making processes.
