Jesse Livermore: World's Greatest Stock Trader (ISBN 0471023264)

skip this book:
I own Reminiscences and How to Trade in Stocks along with this book, and can tell you that no worthwhile market insight can be gathered from this book that you can't get from the other two. There is a bit more information on Livermore's personal life which you may, or may not, find interesting. In my opinion, it was just an effort by Smitten to sell another book.

One Great Book,If you wish to learn the market:
Well I have several copies of this book as I have traded for a while now,at my age I wish to pass on something ,so I am teaching my grandkids to trade the markets...I have bought probably a 100 or so books on the market at Amazon...the best ones...for my way of trading is...this one and Weinstein...how to trade in a bull and bear market...learning to use charts...it will be a eye opener for those of you who never understood how to read a finacial report ...as they report so many different ways...and the numbers can be fixed...just to much garb...look at the present bank situation...well charts don't lie ...or reading the tape as this book suggests...yes I do make money in the market...don't think I would show my grandkids how to lose do you?

Jesse Livermore " Worlds Greatest Stock Trader":
Excellent Book - WOuld rate it as a Bible for people dealing in Capital Markets. Must read for all who trade stocks and commodities.

An excellent book about Livermore's life:
I think the 20+ pictures and the last 3 chapters would worth the money I paid for the book. Many years ago, I read an article written by a scientist who said that he would not pass any opportunity to attend the seminars by the well-known scientists because by seeing their faces, their body languages, and how they speak, he could better understand the articles and books written by them. I find this is true in this case as well. After reading this book and re-reading "How to Trade Stocks" I noticed many things that I did not pay attention when reading the book before. Also I have gained deeper understanding about his frustration when he was asked about how to make some quick money in the market.

Amazing Read:
What a great book. Entertaining AND educational this book reveals for the first time Livermore's true story with information gathered from his relatives.
