George Bayer – George Wollsten – Expert Stock and Grain Trader

Collating investment texts, this volume summarizes and re-introduces each text, explains the significance of the work, and suggests the most profitable opportunities for applying this trading wisdom.

FROM THE INSIDE FLAP

Since 1932 the author has published four books at intervals dealing with trading of Stocks and Commodities.

Unfortunately much of their contents have been found somewhat hard and difficult to the average man, even to those with a college education.

This time the entire problem has been remodeled, many parts eliminated as “too complicated,” three new ideas added which so far have never been alluded to anywhere It is those three ways which are bound to give confidence to any trader, that put him far ahead of all others who just buy or sell on statistics, economic or other bases.

Everything brought into this book is “home-grown.”

The charts supplied for checking commitments as well as those produced with the aid of certain rules explained therein cover the period of 1909 – 1911 inclusive. The previous books covered periods of 1928 to 1944. Therefore a period of more than 30 years has been used to show that the rules work in any period, past or present; they should work in the future in the same way.

Hints are given to delve into ancient books of the dark ages after the study of this book has been completed to discover that they have all been written on the same subject – cycles and time.

Bond trading definition

Bond trading is one way of making profit from fluctuations in the value of corporate or government bonds.

Many view it as an essential part of a diversified trading portfolio, alongside stocks and cash.

A bond is a financial instrument that works by allowing individuals to loan cash to institutions such as governments or companies.

The institution will pay a defined interest rate on the investment for the duration of the bond, and then give the original sum back at the end of the loan’s term.

A stock trader or equity trader or share trader is a person or company involved in trading equity securities.

Stock traders may be an agent, hedger, arbitrageur, speculator, stockbroker.

Such equity trading in large publicly traded companies may be through a stock exchange.

Stock shares in smaller public companies may be bought and sold in over-the-counter (OTC) markets.

Stock traders can trade on their own account, called proprietary trading, or through an agent authorized to buy and sell on the owner’s behalf.

Trading through an agent is usually through a stockbroker. Agents are paid a commission for performing the trade.

Major stock exchanges have market makers who help limit price variation (volatility) by buying and selling a particular company’s shares on their own behalf and also on behalf of other clients.
