Jesse Livermore: World’s Greatest Stock Trader
$14.20
Jesse Livermore: World’s Greatest Stock Trader is a complete biography of Jesse Livermore, the man and the trader. It chronicles his life in fine detail and also reveals many new aspects of his groundbreaking trading techniques, which were revolutionary then and which remain revolutionary today.
Introduction:
There are four simple themes to this book. First, human nature never changes. Therefore, the stock market never changes. Only the faces, the pockets, the suckers and the manipulators, the wars, the disasters, and the technologies change. The market itself never changes. How can it? Human nature never changes, and human nature runs the market—not reason, not economics, and certainly not logic. It is our human emotions that drive the market, as they do most other things on this planet.
Second, the achievement of material goals and career ambitions does not equal the achievement of happiness in life. There is no correlation between success and happiness. There is no automatic balance between worldly riches and emotional fulfillment. Third, it is our will that allows each of us to accomplish our goals, not our intellect. Talent is not enough. Luck is not enough. Only the will to suffer hard work and incredible persistence leads to the attainment of the impossible. There are no shortcuts; there is no easy way. Especially, as you’ll find out, in the stock market.
Finally, it is the individual, not the group, that has led to the great discoveries of humanity. The great ideas, the great fortunes, and the giant steps forward in technology, politics, and medicine have all come from individuals, not groups.

So interesting!

This account of the life and times of Jesse Livermore is entertaining and informative. However, I couldn’t help but shake the feeling that Livermore was more of a talented Gambler, whose luck eventually turned, than an Investor. In the end he went broke and committed suicide. I don’t believe this book shares much insight to help todays investor but it is a decent read. The book “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator” offers a better description of Jesse and his “investing” strategies.

Very interesting book about the conflicted life of a very determined skillful person who became an artist of stock trading but also suffered from the excessive expression of human pitfalls . .

Only half way through this book, but I can’t put it down. The author does a great job intertwining the trading lessons into the story of Jesse Livermore’s life. Not only does this make the book interesting, but it gives real life examples to the valuable trading lessons, which distinguishes this book from a boring text book.
Jesse Livermore was so confident in his trading abilities, he could lose all his money and regain it all back again through trading. Jesse Livermore was a multi-millionaire at a time when one million dollars was equivalent to 100 million. Anyone can become wealthy in the stock market, just have to unlock the secrets.

Interesting story line. The Appendix conclusions was my favorite part, that lasted Livermore’s strategies. Kind of a good read to make you understand the traps and pitfalls of too much money.

I Enjoyed Livermore’s Lessons/Strategies explained in this book.
I only read the clearly financial trading strategy sections, namely the approximately 50 pages in: Chapter 7 “Market Theory”, and Chapter 11 “When To Hold & When To Fold”.
I found this material to be very helpful and well explained.
By contrast, I have read Livermore’s book: How To Trade Stocks, but I did not like that very much even though it came directly from Livermore himself (albeit only months before he committed suicide).
