Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

The Story of Jesse Livermore, Wall Street's Legendary Investor

Beschreibung

These are no ordinary reminiscences a Wall Street broker-these are, according to many readers, the personal tales of legendary trader Jesse Livermore, the man often blamed for the stock market crash of 1929. Written by American journalist, writer, and diplomat EDWIN LEFÈVRE (1871-1943), Livermore recounts his rise from quotation-board boy to master of the market. He tells of speculation and excitement, bad deals and blown fortunes. He offers advice that's still relevant today and recalls stories that educate readers more vividly and memorably than any textbook. He explains his theory of the market and how it can be played and exploited for gain. Overall, his stories explain what makes a stock operator tick, and why trading will always fascinate those who strive to conquer it. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator-The Story of Jesse Livermore, Wall Street's Legendary Investor is one of the most important investment books ever written and a must-read for investors, traders, and students of economic history.

Autor

Edwin Lefevre was an American journalist, writer, and diplomat most known for his publications about Wall Street industry. George Edwin Henry Lefevre was born on January 23, 1871, in Colón, Colombia (now the Republic of Panama). He was the son of Emilia Luísa María Santiago de la Ossa, sister of Jeronimo and María de la Ossa de Amador, and Henry Lefevre (1841-1899). Henry was born in Jersey, the Channel Islands, and immigrated to the United States as a child. For many years, Henry served as the Pacific Steamship Company American's general agent in Panama. Their son, Edwin, had dual citizenship and was sent to the United States as a boy. He finished his study at Lehigh University, where he trained as a mining engineer. However, at the age of nineteen, he began his profession as a journalist, later becoming a stockbroker. Following his father's death, Edwin acquired considerable money and became an independent investor. While living in Hartsdale, New York, Edwin Lefèvre released a collection of his short stories titled Wall Street Stories in 1901. This was followed by other novels on money and finance until 1908, when Lefèvre, his wife Martha, and their children relocated to an estate in East Dorset, Vermont. Panama selected him as its ambassador to Spain and Italy in 1909.
