 Good book. October 26, 2009

It's been more than 8 decades since this book was originally published. However, as Livermore himself said "I learned early that there is nothing new in Wall street. There can't be because speculation is as old as the hills. Whatever happens in the stock market today has happened before and will happen again. I've never forgotten... The fact that I remember that way is my way of capitalizing experience." For me this is the best part of the book and I feel this is true even today. In one word, the best book on trading money can buy.
Brilliant !! October 8, 2009

This is by far the most influential book I have ever read. For the first time in my life I actually believed that speculation can work when done with proper discipline. I am a hardcore fan of Buffett and value investing - but I just couldnt help appreciating this book for the wisdom and philosophy it offers. Not only is it very enlightening, it is unbelievably entertaining and intriguing !! This is the bible of stock trading !
Hats off to Jesse Livermore !!

Required Reading for All Who Are Interested in The Stock Market September 19, 2009

This was one of the first books I read during my learning curve as a successful Trader. As others have noted, this book won't teach you any particular system, nor will it pretend to be the only book you should read if you have interest in the Markets. But what it will do is rivet you to your reading seat! :)
Because it reads along as a very inspiring success story of one man winningly taking on the early Stock Market era in our Country (USA), that this book's story is the stuff of great American legend would absolutely be a true statement. And, if you, like I, like introspective and story format books (or well-voiced audio books) about people who make great successes of themselves in this great country, by beating the odds, while taking their educational knocks and bumps along the way: then this book is for you, because it has it all.
As a then, beginning Trader, I enjoyed the inspiration it served as as another Market success story that I then craved as additional motivation in my early Trading learning curve to get me through the learning. It helped me get further into the mindset that I needed to be in in order to become confident in approaching the Markets successfully in my own way. I place this story right up there with the best of Market success stories (fact or fiction), and I believe you will too once you decide to give it a read. Enjoy!
