According to Shannon it was not chaotic. He knew about Hamiltonian dynamics too. He made a killing on the market in the fifties playing it for about 6 months. It was by an information theory analysis. His 'killing' is the most famous market pass in history, because as you know Claude Shannon was the father of information theory that led to the development of faster and more reliable phone exchanges and the ultra fast digital computer and modem. His work on the market was done by the numbers and it came out right. So if he could do it the market must yield, for some analysers, to deconstruction.

There is something to it. Market flux is driven by co-operative trading between individuals. Animal co-operation cycles can be analysed psychologically. A friend of mine did his psyche thesis on the market saying it was a classic reward punishment scheduling environment. He made big passes on bank stock in 1981 and proved his theory.

If this is true together then, governing dynamics of game theory and information theory should be able to assess the market cycles. If you look at the Swiss gold price cycles in francs, you will see some classical electrical waves occuring regularly. I know what these waves are. The are combinations of negative square waves, sines and saw tooth. They are all about 4 months long and worth about 30 francs. They do not appear in any other gold price waves of any other currencies. What I think this means is that the Swiss price has some fundamental swinging it on a regular basis like a Swiss time piece. This can only be the result of organized, methodical trading of semi-competing financial interests in instruments in gold, with an eye to control price swings.
