Reminiscences of a Stock Operator,
by Edwin Lefevre.
The world of investing has changed
dramatically from that portrayed in old Hollywood movies. This book,
which describes better than anything from MGM the investment environment
Hollywood has portrayed, is thought to be a thinly disguised biography
of the famous speculator Jesse Livermore, (referred to in the book as
“Mr. Livingston”). First published in 1923, this popular book will
appeal mainly to those who are curious about the remarkably volatile
stock markets of a century ago and the trading mentalities of earlier
investors, whose DNA seems to be carried (for better or worse) by some
speculators even today. All told, this is a very interesting read. |
