About this title
Synopsis:Or, how to beat the Street with a broomstick.
Since that first tulip was traded on that madly speculative exchange in 17th-century Amsterdam, some very special individuals - plungers not in the Merrill Lynch tradition - have been picking winners and harvesting huge profits with uncanny success. How?
They play the market in ways that seem weird to the rest of us - but they win! There are those who feel vibrations, play by the stars, read tarot cards, rely on extrasensory perception, dream dreams, play by numbers. Crazy? Maybe. Yet every single one of them is rich. You'll meet them all in this peek at the occult side of the street.
If you want to play the game their way, there's an appendix to teach you their specialised techniques; with astrology, tarot cards, witchcraft, magic squares, and other uncanny devices.
Each method is carefully explained by the author, a veteran writer of unimpeachable reputation who researched this book with the objectivity of a scientist and who vouches for the accuracy of the results described in it.
On that original tulip exchange in Amsterdam, one of Max Gunther's ancestors bought a hundred dollars' worth of bulbs in 1632 and paid a witch to insure the investment's success. By 1636 (so the story goes), Gunther's ancestor's bulbs were worth $150,000. So much for pedigree. Max Gunther was born in England and emigrated to the US when he was 11. He attended schools in New Jersey and received his B.A. from Princeton University in 1949. He served in the U.S. Army in 1950-51 and was a staff member of Business Week from 1951 to 1955. He then served as a contributing editor of Time for two years. His articles were published in several magazines and he wrote several books, including The Luck Factor (9781906659493), How to Get Lucky (9781906659981) and The Zurich Axioms (9781897597491).

Reviews for "Analyzing the moral lessons of "The Magic Thief" series"
- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "The Magic Thief" series. The plot was slow and predictable, with no real surprises or twists. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to connect with them. The world-building was also quite weak, as I never felt fully immersed in the magical world the author was trying to create. Overall, I found the series to be dull and uninteresting.
- Michael - 1 star - I was not a fan of "The Magic Thief" series at all. The writing style was choppy and disjointed, making it hard for me to follow the story. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, and the overall pacing was way too slow. Additionally, the main character was incredibly annoying and lacked any real growth or development throughout the series. I found myself struggling to finish each book and had no desire to continue with the series.
- Emily - 2.5 stars - I had high hopes for "The Magic Thief" series, but I ended up being quite disappointed. The concept of the story had potential, but it fell flat in execution. The plot was cliché and filled with tropes, and the characters were forgettable and inconsistent. The magic system was poorly explained, leaving me confused and frustrated. Overall, I found it to be a lackluster and forgettable series.
- John - 2 stars - "The Magic Thief" series was a letdown for me. The writing was mediocre at best, with shallow descriptions and lackluster prose. The pacing was uneven, making it difficult for me to stay engaged in the story. The main character, while initially intriguing, quickly became tiresome and repetitive. I found myself skimming through the books just to get to the end. I would not recommend this series to others.
