Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, published in 1923, is a fictionalized memoir of the speculator Jesse Livermore, who appears as Larry Livingston, written by the financial journalist Edwin Lefèvre. Livingston begins as a boy chalking quotations in a Boston brokerage, learns to read the tape, is barred from the bucket shops for winning too often, and goes to New York, where he makes and loses several fortunes before the panic of 1907 makes him rich. Along the way he explains how he thinks about prices, patience, tips, pools and his own mistakes. The book is still read on Wall Street as a manual of market psychology, and it is a sharp picture of American speculation before the Crash. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
