Goodspeed, Sr. Goodspeed, who died in 1983 was best known for his investing treatise The Tao Jones Averages, which was a guide to "whole-brained" investing, as contrasted to the number-based analytical "left-brained" investing that remains mainstream. They were joined by Joseph W. Kelly Jr.
Other principals during the companies earlier years included Carol Coleman, a securities analyst, and Kenneth Hey, a Ph.D. in American Studies who was also a film producer, and Peter Moore, the firm's marketing specialist. Hey remains the head writer of the firm's primary intelligence publication, the Inferential Focus Briefing.
Hey and Moore authored The Caterpillar Doesn't Know: How Personal Change is Creating Organizational Change in 1998.

Famous quotes containing the words history and, history and/or books:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is the interest one takes in books that makes a library. And if a library have interest it is; if not, it isn’t.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
