PQ Wall

Financial philosopher P.Q. Wall was born July 22, 1931 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota where his father was District Attorney for six years and Circuit Court Judge for eighteen. By the time P.Q. left for college in September 1949 he was already absorbed “in the humorous and ironic aspect of cycles, by which nature rules society in ways deemed impossible by scientific dogma.”

While P.Q. cannot find enough good words to say for thinkers like Aristotle, Berkeley, Confucius, Hegel, Kant, Lao Tse, and Schopenhauer, he feels that Heraclitus, Nietzsche and Spengler had the deepest grasp. Of economic philosophers in this century only Kondratieff, with Schumpeter and some others of the Austrian school, are valid in P.Q.’s eyes. “Since philosophic depth is an art rather than a science, it is ever for the few. Beyond Heraclitus there can be no progress, only difference, just as poetry cannot surpass but at best equal Shakespeare.” Read on »

The mystery arises when orderly patterns like channels, domes, bowls, sideways triangles and so forth not only appear on financial charts but often persist stubbornly until the moving price breaks out of them. On long term charts this persistence can mean years or decades.

In short, the market does not appear as a random reaction to news although the academic world believes it must be. Trends in public emotion rule, quite obviously bending and warping fluctuations in an emotional field resembling a gravitational field, electromagnetic field, etc. At any given time persistent patterns can display wild deviations from financial reality.

How nature secretly rules the human race through emotional time waves (cycles) and emotional price compartments (trading boxes) is a study of tides in world emotion, the deeper forces behind probabilities that allow the possessor of exceptional pattern recognition to trade profitably or to predict far better than chance. These patterns do not repeat rigidly like material waves, but vary from precise repetition in the manner of living, organic forms.

Cycle/Web: A Summary

Cycle Web Summary
I. UNIVERSAL SUBJECT VS. UNIVERSAL OBJECT
We do not doubt that a man walking down the street is a living interconnectedness of changing moods. If we stick him with a pin, his whole body jumps. If we see him bending every effort toward one thing we nevertheless know that twelve hours later he may well be sound asleep, repairing himself. Life, which holds him together, could be called a field, like a gravitational field or an electromagnetic field. But in this life-field purposes alternate, so we may call it a purpose field. No computer anywhere is in jail because we instinctively know that a mechanism need not have a purpose field. New work by Sheldrake would suggest this purpose field has shaping powers. New work by Lovelock and Margulis suggests that earthlife as a whole—called Gaia—is a larger purpose field in which we smaller ones are embedded.
