Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a classic financial literature masterpiece that offers a vivid, semi-autobiographical account of the life and times of legendary stock trader Jesse Livermore, thinly disguised as the protagonist, Larry Livingston. First published in 1923 and written by journalist Edwin Lefèvre, the book chronicles Livingston's journey from his humble beginnings as a quotation-board boy in a bucket shop to his rise as one of Wall Street's most influential and enigmatic speculators. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th-century American financial markets, the narrative immerses readers in the frenetic world of stock trading, capturing the excitement, risks, and psychological challenges faced by traders. Through a series of personal anecdotes, Livingston shares his hard-earned lessons on speculation, market psychology, and the importance of discipline, patience, and self-awareness.
