您能相信鬱金香球莖的價格超過黃金嗎?

這就是1634年荷蘭出現的鬱金香熱,當時風潮席捲全荷蘭。一個世紀之後,英國的股票價格暴漲,肇因於一個先進的國債償還計畫,並導致一大堆泡沫公司的出現。泡沫破滅之後,出現了什麼現象?這段公案為我們帶來什麼啟發?是市場的波動無常,還是群眾的歇斯底里?查爾斯.麥凱寫於1841年的《異常流行幻象與群眾瘋狂》記載了上述事件,並且提出獨特的觀點。

在阿姆斯特丹證券交易所開幕初期,荷蘭的東印度公司就是當時的明星股——然而,當投機和欺詐介入,它的價格走勢就不那麼容易理解了。這也說明了,即使在證券市場的誕生之初,操縱市場的行為就已經存在。1688年出版的《困惑之惑》,是第一本記載股票交易所各種投機現象的書。對17世紀的證券市場運作提供了第一手的觀察——許多元素迄今未變。

本書收錄兩部投資史上的不朽經典,《異常流行幻象與群眾瘋狂》和《困惑之惑》,記載群體行為和交易詭計對金融市場造成的破壞和巨大影響。麥凱相信「大眾歇斯底里的間歇性發作」導致了市場的不穩定性,德‧拉‧維加直指「在市場混亂背後的陰謀詭計」。書中揭示的真相,今日依然隨處可見,從投資大師伯納德.巴魯克的投資策略、日本土地價格、垃圾債券,到霸菱證券的倒閉。即便是在今天的世界中,對於希望掌握證券市場中古怪現象的人來說,這是一本必讀經典。
