The story of Larry Livingston....very interesting reading, it's like a trading diary.
I will certainly recomend it.

This is a must read for every trader! The principles are as relevant today as they were in the 1900's. However, I'm afraid that the novice may, without the requisite market experience, only see this book as great story telling. They will miss the often subtle and sometimes very direct wisdoms being offered. Their focus on the potential rewards may overshadow the ever present risks of the markets. The intense work ethic and mental strength necessary to be a trader may be overlooked. Of course, if one is persistent and also wealthy enough to stay in the game, these risks and traits will soon present themselves. But as the book points out, there will be some tuition for this real life education. How do I know? Because I've paid for many of these market lessons, and continue to pay whenever I forget to use what's been taught.
Some experienced traders may marvel at the times, the players and wonder if this could've ever truly existed. Because we understand the mechanics of the trades and human dynamics that accompany them, we're made to believe. The pearls of wisdom do not pass us by! On the contrary, they make us challenge and rededicate ourselves to being even better professionals.
Enjoy & Profitable Trading!
Timeless June 23, 2009

I recently purchased a used copy of Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. It was in great shape and arrived timely. I can see why so many successful stock traders recommend this book. It has timeless lessons that still work in today's market. A good and yet entertaining work and worth the read.
A MUST READ for any serious trader June 21, 2009

This book is an absolute must read for an serious trader whether you are a short term or long term trader.
Jesse Livermore was a Master trader and tape reader. There are dozens of lessons learned from this classic. I have read the book 4 times and continue to learn from it. Pages 55 - 59 alone are worth a college tuition...the lesson of how many people are right about the direction of the markets but trade themselves into oblivion and make no real money.
Bottom line...this book is a must own.
great freakin book June 4, 2009
