Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, by Edwin Lefevre is the fictionalized biography of Jesse Livermore, perhaps the most famous financial speculator of all time. The book has endured over 70 years because traders and investors continue to find lessons from Livermore's experiences that they can apply to their own trading. The book recounts Livermore's rise from a young clerk in a broker's office to the world's largest speculator. Livermore's experiences and his growth as a trader provide enormous insights into the intellectual and psychological challenges of successful trading. Other books have been written about Livermore and many traders have tried to emulate his methods.
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Illustrated Edition reproduces the original articles by Edwin Lefevre and drawings by M.L. Blumenthal published in the Saturday Evening Post in the 1920s that formed the basis of the Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. The careful re-creation of the original articles and drawings evoke the sensibility of the one of the most fascinating periods of American history. Historian Charles Geisst describes the historic background behind the each article, providing insight into the financial markets and the speculative nature of this bygone era.
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Annotated Edition bridges the gap between Edwin Lefevre’s fictionalized account of Livermore’s life and the actual, historical events, places, and people that populate the book. Each chapter will begin with an historical “scene setter,” which explains the historical environment Livermore operated in for that particular chapter. Throughout the chapters are notes that detail actual companies, people, or situations that Livermore encounters, but often are obscured by Lefevre’s fictionalized treatment. For example, bucket shops play an important role in Livermore’s early development as a trader. Markman will describe how these long-gone relics of the investment world worked and explain that they largely were run by organized crime. At another juncture in the book, Livermore receives a $500 loan from the heard of his brokerage firm. The firm was actually E.F. Hutton and the owner who gave him the loan was Ed Hutton. In addition, the annotations analyze Livermore’s psychological development as a trader and the lessons Livermore gained through hard experiences. These annotations assist readers in applying the strategies and lessons from the book to their own trading.
