Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre Review
The book is a “fictional” biography of Jesse Livermore, a stock trader that started his trading career at the beginning of the last century at a very early age.
The writer of the book really catches your attention as Livingston (the fictional character) makes millions, but then he makes a mistake and loses millions. He regroups, came back with a few thousands, makes millions again, makes another mistake, and loses them again.
