‘The sucker has always tried to get something for nothing, and the appeal in all booms is always frankly to the gambling instinct aroused by cupidity and spurred by a pervasive prosperity.’
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator tells the story of the legendary stock trader Jesse Livermore. Livermore underwent multiple booms and busts in the early 1900s, gaining and losing tens of millions of dollars trading stocks and commodities. His exploits live on today and the wisdom he gained from his experiences is captured in this book.
Edwin Lefèvre was an American journalist, writer, and diplomat. His account of Livermore’s adventures is now considered to be a classic in business writing.
