Method in Dealing in Stocks.

£450 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

The second edition of this early day-trader's guide, revised from the 1924 issue to take into account the crash of 1929. The Hess Collection notes: 'Kerr writes, "stock speculation is a science as truly as economics itself" responding with consistent rules of probability to certain recurring causes. The methods outlined in this book are precise but complicated. Kerr assigns each of the most probable events (such as an important news release, or surge in trading volume) a value; when particular combinations of these events occur, he maintains, there is a high probability that a corresponding effect is sure to follow'. Revised second edition; 8vo (20.5 x 14 cm); ownership stamp to front free endpaper recto, annotations in pen to title-page and appendix, charts including one folding; occasional underlining in pen; publisher's blue cloth, spine and upper panel stamped in gilt; 175, [1]pp. Dennistoun 362 (1924 ed.); Hess Collection.
