Features: In the interviews with 30 outstanding stock traders, I asked them the same question: Which book has inspired them as traders? To this day, the great classic published 70 years ago, Reminiscences of a Stockbroker, has topped that list. — Jack Schwager This book still maintains a high degree of accuracy in grasping mass psychology and market timing 70 years later. — Value Magazine This is the classic work chronicling the life of Jesse Livermore, the greatest stock and futures speculator of the early 20th century. For decades, generations of financial professionals and traders have read this book, learning the attitudes, reactions, and feelings they should uphold in financial operations. Under the pseudonym Larry Livermore, the author describes Livermore’s rise and fall in his trading career, as well as his experiences in consolidating, shorting, and facing market crashes and booms. I recommend that all stock investors read this historical biography in detail. You may find that your years of experience in financial product operations may not match what you gain from glimpsing this book.
