Wiley. Very Good. 6.25 x 0.6 x 9.5 inches. Hardcover. 2014. 192 pages. dj chipped.<br>A quantifiable framework for unlocking the unconscious forces that shape markets There has long been a notion that subliminal forces play a great part in causing the se emingly irrational financial bubbles, which conventional economic theory, again and again, fails to explain. However, these forces , sometimes labeled 'animal spirits' or 'irrational exuberance, h ave remained elusive - until now. The Mystery of Market Movements provides you with a methodology to timely predict and profit fro m changes in human investment behaviour based on the workings of the collective unconscious. Niklas Hageback draws in on one of p sychology's most influential ideas - archetypes - to explain how they form investor's perceptions and can be predicted and turned into profit. The Mystery of Market Movements provides; A review of the collective unconscious and its archetypes based on Carl Ju ng's theories and empirical case studies that highlights and asse sses the influences of the collective unconscious on financial bu bbles and zeitgeists For the first time being able to objectivel y measure the impact of archetypal forces on human thoughts and b ehaviour with a view to provide early warning signals on major tu rns in the markets. This is done through a step-by-step guide on how to develop a measurement methodology based on an analysis of the language of the unconscious; figurative speech such as metaph ors and symbolism, drawn out and deciphered from Big Data sources , allowing for quantification into time series The book is suppl emented with an online resource that presents continuously update d bespoken archetypal indexes with predictive capabilities to maj or financial indexes Investors are often unaware of the real rea sons behind their own financial decisions. This book explains why psychological drivers in the collective unconscious dictates not only investment behaviour but also political, cultural and socia l trends. Understanding these forces allows you to stay ahead of the curve and profit from market tendencies that more traditional methods completely overlook. Editorial Reviews From the Inside Flap Underlying the rise and collapse of the housing bubble, th e dot upsurge and crash, and the worldwide economic climb and breakdown, are irrational impulses-from mania to panic-that play a major role in collective human investment behaviour. The Myst ery of Market Movements attempts to answer the key questions of w hen and why financial bubbles are likely to form by exploring the collective unconscious and its archetypes. Armed with an underst anding of how archetypes drive the financial markets, investors w ill be able to better identify irrational behaviours and the hidd en investment opportunities they create. As financial expert Nik las Hageback explains, financial markets, with their extensive ou tput and frequent updates of real-time data, provide fertile grou nd for statistical testing of the archetype hypothesis. By buildi ng a record of the appearance of archetypal symbols and analysing the frequency of their appearance versus financial indexes, it i s possible to predict price trends over time. The Mystery of Mar ket Movements includes an empirically verified measurement method ology that is designed to capture the subliminal forces that infl uence human behaviour and investment decisions, in particular, an d clearly demonstrates how archetypes can give rise to financial bubbles. In clear and understandable terms, Niklas Hageback outl ines the archetypal conceptual measurement methodology model and offers insight on the statistical methods used to develop and tes t archetypal symbol time series. He discusses the model's foundat ional building blocks and explores the components that constitute the measurement units. He also reveals the data sources and incl udes samples of how the symbol selection is conducted. The Myste ry of Market Movements is a practical guide to understanding arch etypal influences. The website offers access to continuously upda ted indexes that will give investors the ability to track changes in archetypal mood patterns and boost their ability to make wise investment decisions.
