The Psychology of Finance

by Lars Tvede

Published January 1991
The Psychology of Finance Lars Tvede The author approaches this fascinating area from the belief that "psychology can be used to explain important aspects of market behaviour, including some aspects of common technical analysis". Without giving too much away, Lars Tvede believes that there is an inherent structure in price movements, depending on the type of stock or market one is investigating. The author's style is very "hands-on", which results in an extremely readable and enjoyable account of the movements in prices of financial assets. Analysts, traders and bankers will find this book essential reading. Economists and the personal investor will also find The Psychology of Finance interesting. Finance/Investment Psychological Aspects
