    THE NEW ERA OF DISCRIMINATION IN THE SELECTION OF SECURITIES

    Lessons of the 1926 Market that Should Prove Valuable in 1927

    ...

    The diverse forces governing price movements. These influences may conveniently be considered as of four kinds:

    (a) Corrective - readjustments necessitated by previous market excesses;

    (b) Reflective - corresponding to current developments affecting the issue;

    (c) Anticipative - discounting expected future occurrences;

    (d) Manipulative - representing large scale market operations independent of influence affecting intrinsic value.

    Of course not all market developments can be classified under one of these four headings; in many instances more than a single influence is at work, nor can it be definitely asserted which is controlling. Yet the majority of price movements may be related fairly definitely to some one of these forces, and not a few of the vagaries of the 1926 market become more comprehensible when considered in this light.

    How do you think this has stood up over the last 93 years?

    My mind jumped to applying Charlie Munger's lallapalooza effect, where multiple factors are acting together in ways that are feeding back on each other, and how finding stocks with all 4 forces working for/against at the same time would expose asymmetric protection and upside.
