The Mystery of Market Movements: An Archetypal Approach to Investment Forecasting and Modelling

Discover how human behaviour affects the global marketplace Throughout history financial bubblesthat are often based on irrational human behaviourhave periodically wrought havoc on the world economic stage. Conventional economic models have failed to predict how erratic behaviour influences the marketplace. The Mystery of Market Movements unravels the secrets of when and why financial bubbles are likely to form by exploring the influence of the collective unconscious and its archetypes. As financial expert Niklas Hageback explains, archetypes are the unconscious mental images that affect our behaviour and judgement without our being consciously aware of it. The Mystery of Market Movements contains an introduction to Carl Jungs view of the collective unconscious and shows how archetypes activate the symbols that can be used to measure human behaviour. The author then explores how archetypes and symbols directly affect the market and outlines the groundbreaking archetypal conceptual measurement methodology model. In accessible terms, Hageback discusses the models basic building blocks and explains the various components that comprise the measurement units. He offers information on the data sources and includes a wealth of samples of how the symbol selection is conducted. With The Mystery of Market Movements and its companion website www.forecastrix.com, you have the information and tools necessary to understand archetypal influences in the marketplace and leverage that knowledge to ensure strong investment returns.
