The Psychology Of Speculation by Henry H. Harper
The Human Element in Stock Market Transactions
A concise exploration of how emotions and crowd behavior drive market swings and individual trading decisions more than rational analysis. Drawing on Wall Street anecdotes and practices, it dissects greed, fear, hope, and herd impulses, along with the perils of tips, leverage, and manipulation, to explain how booms and panics form and why speculators so often fail. It concludes with practical admonitions for cultivating discipline, skepticism, and self-knowledge to avoid common traps and improve one’s odds of survival.
