George Wollsten: Expert Stock and Grain Trader 1st Edition
by George Bayer (Author)
This remarkable classic in market analysis takes an unusual approach by incorporating planetary alignments from 1943–47. Bayer, a German-American trader with notable success, applied astronomical concepts—such as the geometry of ellipses—to understand market cycles. These ideas form the basis for the investment choices of his fictional character, George Wollsten. According to the editor, one individual who coded Bayer’s principles achieved a 75% accuracy rate. This edition contains the author’s original foreword (publisher not specified) but does not include references. Annotation © Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Since 1932, the author has released four separate works focusing on stock and commodity trading.
However, much of the earlier material proved challenging for the average reader, even those with advanced education.
In this edition, Bayer restructured his methods, removing overly complex portions and introducing three new concepts—ideas never before discussed—that can give traders an edge over those relying purely on statistics or economic data.
Every principle in this book is developed entirely by the author.
The included charts, designed for evaluating trades, cover the years 1909–1911 and were produced using rules detailed within. Previous works covered 1928–1944, meaning these strategies have been tested over more than 30 years, demonstrating that they apply to both past and future markets.
Bayer also encourages readers, once they have studied this work, to examine ancient manuscripts from the Middle Ages, noting that they too explore the same themes—market cycles and timing.
From the Back Cover
Discover trading wisdom from one of the 20th century’s greatest market experts in this rare, story-driven guide. Named by The Sunday Financial Times of London as “one of the ten best investment books ever written,” this work offers some of the clearest explanations of trading rules and principles available.
Bayer compares learning to trade to climbing a mountain—starting at the lower slopes and gradually reaching the summit. Expert Stock Trader leads readers through essential trading practices until they can achieve success in both Wall Street and commodity pits. Rather than producing a dry technical manual, Bayer blends market experience with trading philosophy in an engaging fictional narrative.
Through his character, George Wollsten, Bayer delivers an in-depth study of chart analysis, enriched with insights into real-world market operations. Each of Wollsten’s trades is examined, explained, and placed in context. This combination of education and storytelling makes the book both practical and entertaining, offering today’s investors the chance to learn from one of the great market minds.
Born in Germany, Bayer immigrated to the United States shortly after 1900, achieving the American dream as a top trader in New York and Chicago. A prolific author, he published four books after 1932—each focused on trading stocks and commodities—cementing his place as one of the century’s most innovative market thinkers.
About the Author
In most investment literature—whether about stocks, futures, or options—authors are barely described, leaving readers with only the work itself as their introduction. This book is an exception.
In George Wollsten: Expert Stock and Grain Trader, Bayer not only shares his trading methods but also reveals much about himself and the reasoning behind his unique market concepts. The “George Wollsten” in the title is, in essence, Bayer himself.
Arriving from Germany just after 1900, Bayer was quickly drawn to the speculative markets of New York and Chicago. His life story intertwines with his groundbreaking market theories, offering readers valuable lessons they can choose to apply—or adapt—to their own trading.
Bayer also authored several other influential works, including The Egg of Columbus: or the Hidden Movements in Stocks and Commodities Markets, Gold Nuggets for Stock and Commodity Traders, The Time Factors in the Stock Market, and Stock and Commodity Traders’ Handbook of Trend Determination.
