Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (Warbler Classics) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Edwin Lefèvre's Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a fictionalized autobiography based on the life of Jesse Livermore (1877-1940) who was a pioneer of day trading and one of the greatest investors of all time. At his peak in 1929, Livermore was worth $100 million, which in today's dollars roughly equates to $1.5 billion, making him one of the richest people in the world at that time. The book, which began as a series of articles published during 1922 and 1923 in The Saturday Evening Post, tells the story of Livermore's progression from day trading in the then so-called "bucket shops" to market speculator, market maker, and market manipulator to Wall Street "Boy Plunger" where he won and lost tens of millions of dollars. This classic of American business writing continues to offer sharp insights into the art and psychology of trading and speculation. It is one of the most widely read, highly recommended investment books of all time.

This Warbler Classics edition includes an illustrated life of Jesse Livermore.
