Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre

4.0

---

A nicely constructed fictional memoir based on the exploits of the speculator Jesse Livermore. There are some concrete insights (e.g. on the cyclical nature of investor psychology and avoiding tips), though I felt like the book was primarily interesting in the way it created a vivid sense of what trading in the early 20th century was like.
