Welcome to the Sciencewriters Money Page

This site is devoted to a sober, scientific look at market knowledge with an eye to making money as well as understanding its nature. Jesse Livermore, the solar basis of the global economy, psychology, motivation, and trends are among the topics covered. Unlike the great morass of sites out there, this site is opposed to hucksterism and boosterism. We take a literary, and even philosophical approach to the markets. Oscar Wilde said, "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." This site attempts to disentangle the huge overload of purported wisdom pertaining to the markets, separating the wheat from the chaff, the counterfeit from the real. Interested in the business of making money in the markets, we have collected, among other things, epigrams from market participants whose success defies statistical fluctuation. The results are interesting and occasionally surprising.
