Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Unknown to most modern-day investors and traders who cherish Reminiscences of a Stock Operator as one of the most important investment books ever written, the material first appeared in the 1920s as a series of articles and illustrations in the Saturday Evening Post. Now, for the first time ever, this beloved classic is being made available in its original, illustrated format.

You'll track the exploits of Jesse Livermore as he won and lost tens of millions of dollars playing the stock and commodities markets during the early 1900s. At one point, he made the then astronomical sum of 10 million dollars in just one month of trading

Originally published as a fictionalized account, the Illustrated Edition combines the Saturday Evening Post's memorable illustrations with Edwin LeFevre's timeless investment advice, recreating the look, feel, and message that was first published more than 80 years ago. Among the most compelling and enduring pieces ever written on trading, the new Illustrated Edition brings this story to life like never before. Order your copy today.

Book News Annotation:

The fictionalized biography of the speculator Jesse Livermore--who won and lost tens of millions of dollars playing the stock and commodities markets in the early 1900s--first appeared in the 1920s as a series of articles and illustrations in The Saturday Evening Post and eventually became an investment classic; it offers insights into the motivations, attitudes, and feelings of investors that endure into this century. The current edition re-creates the original format, with b&w drawings featuring its top-hatted hero. The volume, which is slightly oversize (8.75x11.5"), has no index.

" After 20 years and many re-reads, Reminiscences is still one of my all-time favorites."

Synopsis:

Jesse Livermore won and lost tens of millions of dollars playing the stock and commodities markets during the early 1900s — at one point making the then astronomical amount of ten million dollars in just one month of trading. So potent a market force was he in his day that, in 1929, he was widely believed to be the man responsible for causing the Crash. In 1922, Edwin LeFevre began publishing his fictionalized account of Jesse Livermore's exploits in The Saturday Evening Post. Eleven such articles under the title "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" appeared throughout 1922 and 1923. This Illustrated Edition features this text and reproduces the advertisements and artwork that appeared in these articles in a beautifully illustrated and designed package. This will be a great period piece that will interest traders and investors at all levels.
