 Required Reading for All Who Are Interested in The Stock Market September 19, 2009
Khalfani Rushiddin (Atlanta, Georgia United States)
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!

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!

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.
