With new commentary and insights on the life and times of Jesse Livermore

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is the fictionalised biography of perhaps the most famous financial speculator of all time—Jesse Livermore. This annotated edition bridges the gap between Edwin Lefèvre's fictionalised account of Livermore's life and the actual, historical events, places, and people that populate the book. It also describes the variety of trading approaches Livermore used throughout his life and analyses his psychological development as a trader and the lessons gained through hard experiences.

  • Analyses legendary trader Jesse Livermore's strategies and explains how they can be used in today's markets.
  • Provides factual details regarding the actual companies Livermore traded in and the people who helped or hindered him along the way.
  • Explains the structure and mechanics of the Livermore-era markets, including the bucket shops and the commodity exchanges.
  • Includes more than 100 pages of new material.

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator 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. This annotated edition will continue the trend.

About the Author

Edwin LeFevre was trained as a mining engineer, but became a journalist at age nineteen. He produced eight books, including The Making of a Stockbroker, during his fifty-three-year writing career. He was a celebrated finance author made most famous by his publication of the fictionalized story of Jesse Livermore, which first appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1922. Jon D. Markman is an award-winning journalist, popular market analyst, and veteran fund manager. He was a pioneer in the development of stock-rating systems and screening software; a portfolio manager at a hedge fund; managing editor at CNBC on MSN Money; and an investment columnist and investigative reporter at the Los Angeles Times. Markman provides investment guidance in his daily Strategic Advantage and Trader's Advantage research services, as well as in his weekly MSN Money column and managed accounts. He is also the author of Swing Trading, which is published by Wiley, and two other finance books.
