The Shapes of Stories, from Kim Zussman
"The emotional arcs of stories are dominated by six basic shapes"
Kurt Vonnegut on the Shapes of Stories
Victor Niederhoffer writes:
And what would a comparable study of market stories show, and can we learn anything from literature.
Bo Keely comments:
If you can ascertain the personality of the market then you will know its emotions and therefore its shapes. Start with the personality of the market if that isn't too far a stretch of anthropomorphism. Likewise every story has a shape. I prefer the inverted pyramid from newspaper reporting, but my mentor Art shay taught the arc of the home run to shape a story.
