 The more things change ... the more they stay the same - Required reading! August 17, 2008
This vintage tomb from a bygone era ... is simply one of the best financial texts you could ever hope to lay your hands on. One of the strongest realizations that emerge from the author's engaging style of writing, is that the lessons learned a century ago, are as relevant and useful today as they were back then. The examples and analysis peppered throughout this book, are some of the most insightful examples available to the average reader. There are no mathematical formulas or detailed charts (one of this book's strong points) yet there is plenty of meat on the bone here, for anyone that is searching for clear and practical advice on successfully navigating the rough waters of the financial markets. Many lessons learned and dissected in clear detail. Highly recommended reading.
An Investment Classic August 14, 2008
This book really brings to life an era of finance that is long gone. And the lessons of the book are still very relevant today. It is part biography and part tutorial for aspiring traders. Everyone should be required to read this book before being allowed to play the markets. If even half of the people on Wall Street had read this, the USA would be in much better shape today financially. It is a very engaging and entertaining read.
Psychology of trading July 13, 2008
A Wall Street Classic and it does not disappoint. Published in 1923 the book continues to be one of the most heavily references books on trading and speculation. You'll learn about the early days and the history of the markets, some basic trading strategies, and most importantly: the human psychology of ups and downs of trading and how Larry Livingston (pseudonym for Jesse Livermore) dealt with it all.
I'm not a trader, nor am I aspiring to become one, but this was a fascinating read and I'll recommend it to everyone without hesitation.
This Book Teaches The Importance of Risk Management July 12, 2008
This is a powerful lesson on the importance of risk management. Learn from Livermore's mistakes. It is never okay to risk money you do need for the hopes of accumulating money you do not need. Always know your risk exposure at all times.
 Fascinating Story About A Remarkable Stock Speculator July 2, 2008
Edwin Lefevre tells the fascinating story of Jesse Livermore, a famous stock operator who time and again made and lost fortunes by speculating on the market. Its greatest value is on the insights and reasoning process behind each move and associated result. It provides good entertainment for stock investors and speculators. Highly recommended!
