Book excerpt: Boy Plunger is the first full-length biography of the legendary share trader, Jesse Livermore, the most successful stock and commodities trader in the history of the stock market. He became famous in the summer of 1929 when most people believed that the American stock market would continue to rise forever as Wall Street was enjoyed an eight-year winning run. Jesse Livermore started a process that would see him sell $450 million of shares short inside a four week period. As he had forecast, the three 'black' days, Thursday 24th October, Monday 28th October and Tuesday 29th October, saw the market drop dramatically and in a week Wall Street lost $30 billion of value. Livermore made nearly $100 million and overnight became one of the richest men in the world. It remains, adjusted for inflation, the most money ever made by any individual in a period of seven days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1877 Jesse Livermore began working with stocks at the age of 15 when he ran away from his parent’s farm and took a job posting stock quotes at a Boston brokerage firm. While he was working he would jot down predictions so he could follow up on them thus testing his theories. After doing this for some time he was convinced to try his systems with real money. However since he was still young he started placing bets with local bookies on the movements of particular stocks, he proved so good at this he was eventually banned from a number of local gambling houses for winning too much and he started trading on the real exchanges. Intrigued by Livermore’s career, financial writer Edwin Lefevre conducted weeks of interviews with him during the early 1920s. Then, in 1923, Lefevre wrote a first-person account of a fictional trader named "Larry Livingston," who bore countless similarities to Livermore, ranging from their last names to the specific events of their trading careers. Although many traders attempted to glean the secret of Livermore’s success from Reminiscences, his technique was not fully elucidated until How To Trade in Stocks was published in 1940. It offers an in-depth explanation of the Livermore Formula, the trading method, still in use today, that turned Livermore into a Wall Street icon.

Book excerpt: In dem Bestseller "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" (bei Wiley 0471 05970 6) wurde er bereits porträtiert. Aber dieses Buch ist die erste umfassende Biographie der Börsenlegende Jesse Livermore. Obwohl Livermore vor über 50 Jahren starb, gilt er bei Spitzenhändlern noch heute als der größte Aktienhändler aller Zeiten. Livermore war ein rätselhafter Einzelgänger, ein Menschenfeind und ein notorischer Geizhals, doch er revolutionierte den Aktienhandel durch innovative Timing-Verfahren, durch Strategien zum Geldmanagement und durch seine Methode des Handelns in aufsteigenden Märkten, d.h. durch Kauf von Werten mit starkem Momentum. Autor Richard Smitten zeichnet hier ein lebendiges Bild von Livermore und der Ära, in der er lebte und arbeitete. Geschickt verbindet er Augenzeugenberichte jener, die ihn kannten, mit faszinierenden Geschichten über sensationelle Liebesabenteuer, Schießereien und Selbstmorde sowie mit einer ausführlichen Darstellung jener Handelsstrategien, die Livermore reich, berühmt und zum größten Aktienhändler gemacht haben, den die Welt je gesehen hat. Eine ebenso interessante wie amüsante Lektüre.
Download or read book Jesse Livermore s Methods of Trading in Stocks written by Jesse Livermore and published by Colchis Books. This book was released on with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Livermore started trading in securities when he was fourteen years old. He made his first thousand when a mere boy. He has practiced every device known to the active speculator, studied every speculative theory, and dealt in about every active security listed on the New York Stock Exchange. He has piled up gigantic fortunes from his commitments, lost them, digested, started all over again—and piled up new fortunes. He has changed his market position in the twinkling of an eye—sold out thousands of shares of long stock, and gone short of thousands of shares more on a decision which required reading only the one word, “but,” in a lengthy ticker statement. If his later experiences were not enough to catch the public fancy, Livermore would have won it by his greatest feat of all: beating the bucket shops. Beating the cheaters, in fact, was Livermore’s pet plan after things had gone against him and he was forced to start anew on a small-lot basis.

Download or read book To Make a Killing written by Robert Stephens and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the wildest, most spectacular decades in American history, the 1920s were a period of unprecedented growth and mass consumerism. In the New Era, people drank in speakeasies, danced to jazz, idolized gangsters, and bet their life savings on stocks. Born and raised in a small Canadian town, Arthur Cutten went to Chicago in 1890 with ninety dollars to his name. Through utter ruthlessness, he amassed a fortune trading in grain futures and stocks. Cutten was heralded as the modern Midas, and his every move was followed by the masses, who believed they could get rich quick. But everything changed after the crash of 1929. The heroes of prosperity became the villains of the Great Depression. Determined to crack down on the “banksters,” the Roosevelt administration launched an all-out attack on those it blamed for the collapse – and Cutten was at the top of the list. A US Senate committee probed how he manipulated stock prices. The Grain Futures Administration moved to bar him from trading. And the Bureau of Internal Revenue indicted him for income tax evasion. But the wily operator won on every count: he emerged from the Senate investigation unscathed, maintained his grain trading privileges after a victory in the Supreme Court, and left almost nothing for the tax collectors upon his death. To Make a Killing tells the tale of Cutten’s journey to fabulous wealth, the forces that propelled him, and the fascinating characters in his life.

Download or read book Free Capital written by Guy Thomas and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3rd edition with new foreword by Ian Cassel Wouldn't life be better if you were free of the daily grind - the conventional job and boss - and instead succeeded or failed purely on the merits of your own investment choices? Free Capital is a window into this world. Based on a series of interviews, it outlines the investing strategies, wisdom and lifestyles of 12 highly successful private investors. Each of them has accumulated $1 million or more - in most cases considerably more - mainly from stock market investment. Some have several academic degrees or backgrounds in professional finance; others left school with few qualifications and are entirely self-taught as investors. Some invest most of their money in very few shares and hold them for years at a time; others make dozens of trades every day, and hold them for at most a few hours. Some are inveterate networkers, who spend their day talking to managers at companies in which they invest; for others a share is just a symbol on a screen, and a price chart shows most of what they need to know to make their trading decisions. Free capital - money surplus to immediate living expenses - is the raw material with which these investors work. It can also be thought of as their psychological habitat, free from the petty tribulations of office politics. Lastly, free capital describes the footloose nature of their assets, which can be quickly redirected towards any type of investment anywhere in the world, without the constraints which institutional investors often face. Although it presents many advanced insights and valuable investment hints, this is not an overly technical book. It offers practical ideas and inspiration, with revealing detail and minimal jargon, making it an indispensable read for novice and experienced investors alike. *** This third edition of Free Capital follows the text of the second edition, published in 2013, with the addition of a new foreword by Ian Cassel. ***

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature versus Nurture: Michael quickly summoned me to his offi ce, where his pet spider is housed in an aquarium, feeling strange about the idea of having an arachnida for a pet. As Michael set me on a miniature ottoman in front of the arachnid’s home – the terrestrial environment he provided, my skepticism promptly transformed into fascination. One single spider had reproduced a sac housing hundreds of precious eggs soon to hatch to ‘young ‘uns’, sadly to the demise of its mother upon their births. The gleaming gossamer of spider silk which I had learned in my zoology and biochemistry classes to be the strongest fi ber known, even stronger than steel. One benefi cial lesson we humans can learn from this creature is an allimportant one – recycling. Once the web is destroyed, the spider swallows this delicate lace, and re-uses its protein in re-building the next structure! Nothing should be wasted, even the most despised creature learns from its Creator. The eyes have seen, the ears have heard the wonders of God’s miraculous creation! Yet regrettably some people live to say that there is no God! Given a glimpse of his home I fi nally saw what Michael meant in his expression and sentiment over the difference in our homes. Michael may not see or admit, but, as he spoke of my home I can feel the yearning in his voice, and I also audibly hear the ache. Mr. Kamo Toyatori can rest assured that his legacy passed on to his son will live on. This legacy weighs heavily on his son’s shoulders, but will not give up. His son is simply incapable of doing so; his son aware that it could only lead to his own fi nancial ruin. Michael will labor day and night, he needs to wary not to plant himself in less exalted ground than what he deserves, and that which his father expects.
