Reminiscences
of a Stock Operator
Edwin Lefevre /
published: May 1994 / Paperback / 299 pgs. |
|
 Reminiscences
of a Stock Operator is the thinly disguised biography of Jesse Livermore,
a remarkable character who first started speculating in New England
bucket shops at the turn of the century. Livermore, who was banned
from these shady operations because of his winning ways, soon moved
to Wall Street where he made and lost his fortune several times over.
What makes this book so valuable are the observations that Lefèvre
records about investing, speculating, and the nature of the market
itself. |

Jesse
Livermore Speculator King
Paul Sarnoff / published:
June 1985 / Paperback / 136 pgs. |
|
| Jesse
L. Livermore's true story is re-created in this book by Paul Sarnoff,
an excellent starting point for traders in their 'journey' to find
the Truth. This book provides a rare insight into the thoughts of
a professional trader. Have pencil ready to underline some classic
ideas from Jesse Livermore, like one of his rules, "Don't make the
same error twice." One of Aristotle's doctrines is that learning "comes
from suffering"......Livermore was certainly Aristotelian. |

The
Trouble With Prosperity : A Contrarian's Tale of Boom, Bust, and Speculation
James Grant / published:
March 1998 / Paperback / 368 pgs. |
|
| A
great book. If you really want to understand how an economy functions,
read this book. Explains, amongst other things, the currently flaccid
state of the Japanese economy, and the issues with having the government
(through the Federal Reserve) set interest rates. Also writes about
historical precendents... remember the old saw about learning from
history? An engaging, informative read. |

The
Education of a Speculator
Victor Niederhoffer
/ published: February 1998 / Paperback / 444 pgs. |
|
| The
Education of a Speculator is a sojourn inside the one-of-a-kind mind
of Victor Niederhoffer, a trader in commodities and a keen observer
of life. He has trained himself to look at the world in a singular
fashion: where the guy on the street sees opportunity, Niederhoffer
has scoped out all the downsides and done the contrarian thinking
necessary to turn a profit. His book, written with humor and verve,
offers readers a chance to see the world through his lenses. The result
is a genuinely new perspective on life (unless you too happened to
grow up a speculator). |

is probably the most underrated investment thinker on the planet,
bar none. Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits was his late '50s answer
to Ben Graham's Security Analysis and The Intelligent Investor combo
two decades earlier. Relatively unknown since its heyday in the growth-stock-oriented
'60s, the recent Wiley Investment Classics reprinting makes this critical
work available to all investors for the first time in more than twenty
years. -- Randy Befumo |
