- Why do markets go up slowly and come down in a hurry?
- Why does it take months – sometimes years to build trust and only a moment to destroy it?
- Why do we lose weight so slowly but put it back almost in an instant?
- How can someone cutting you off on the highway instantly get you to melting point?
- How come it takes days, weeks, or months to win a customer, but one wrong answer at the wrong time can undo all of that relationship building?
- How can some people gamble away their life savings in hours at a casino table?
The answer to all of the above is the same: Emotional intensity.
It is intensity of fear that sends markets tumbling down. Fear is much more intense than the confidence or greed that makes the markets go up. Trust is built incrementally through moments of closeness, courage, and vulnerability. Loss of trust on the other hand goes hand in hand with betrayal, anger, vengeance, and vindictiveness.
Is it doom and gloom? Is there no way out? Are we locked into the cycles of long and laborious efforts being wiped out by a few short days?
No, no, no.
You start by recognising what is going on in your mind. No put downs, no shoulds, no musts, no “you did it again”s. You simply recognise what is happening within you. Then you release it. This is as simple as expressing your inner dynamics. This can be done by making some sounds, moving your body, exercise, meditation, prayer, or some ritual that will allow you to purge these feelings. Then you re-focus on where you want to go, where you want to be, what you want to do. When you name your dragons (the need the drive for emotional intensity), they lose their power.

I was wondering if anyone knows whether the Gartley Stock Database as talked about in his 1935 book is archived anywhere. I have been looking for Advance Decline Data going back to the mid 1920’s. I have found data going back to early 1932 in the WSJ and New York Times. His book also claimed the New York Herald Tribune published this data as well.
