The number one must read book for Investors

Any additional comments?

An excellent audio book, that is easy and interesting to listen to. Jesse Livermore is an iconic trader, and the two important lessons from his story I came away with are: the markets are rigged (so be careful of blind faith in buy and hold), and that no matter how good you are, you can still lose everything. To me, this book reinforced lessons from "In The Zone" about being a disciplined investor.

Absolutely amazing and inspiring book on tradiing!

This book is absolutely amazing! There are so many types of lessons, from traders mindset, strategies, failures & successes, long, short, manipulation, and more.

It's incredible how trading worked as far back as 120 years ago. I learned way more than I expected, and now I know where a lot of the current words, concepts, slang, and trader talk comes from.

This book is like a bible for trading, and the protagonist is a very skillful trader to learn from.

Enjoy!

A Good Listen

A great way to gain insight into some of the fundamental practices of the early market that often still hold true today. Psychology, strategy, manipulation and perseverance are viewed through the eyes of a masterful stock player during the early days of the market.

Used as a means to gain insight into some of the foundational elements of the market I compare this book to learning long division by hand. Sure the market has evolved over time but by understanding many of the initial reasons and motivations for todays activities the listener gains a much wider sense of the market as a whole.

"Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" should be required reading for investors.

Person of Interest

Would you listen to Reminiscences of a Stock Operator again? Why?

Maybe if I feel like I need a refresher at some point.

Any additional comments?

I read Up on the real guy and wasn't a fan but there is definitely some good information in this book, I just read it more as a concessionary tale than anything else...

outstanding insights into the market

chock-full of good information that sounds like it comes from somebody who really knows what he's talking about.

the narration was clean clear Pleasant and transparently got out of the way of the story
