Publisher's summary

Jesse Livermore was a loner, an individualist - and the most successful stock trader who ever lived. Written shortly before his death in 1940, How to Trade Stocks offered traders their first account of that famously tight-lipped operator's trading system. Written in Livermore's inimitable, no-nonsense style, it interweaves fascinating autobiographical and historical details with step-by-step guidance on:  

• Reading market and stock behaviors 
• Analyzing leading sectors 
• Market timing 
• Money management 
• Emotional control  

In this new edition of that classic, trader and top Livermore expert Richard Smitten sheds new light on Jesse Livermore's philosophy and methods. Drawing on Livermore's private papers and interviews with his family, Smitten provides priceless insights into the Livermore trading formula, along with tips on how to combine it with contemporary charting techniques. Also included is the Livermore Market Key, the first and still one of the most accurate methods of tracking and recording market patterns.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

WORST NARRATOR IN HISTORY

Literally the worst narrator in the history of the world.
Did you seriously just pick a random book (this one) and decide “Hey, I’ll read this out loud”.
Because it feels that way.
Did you just do 1 take because I heard you repeat the same line twice because you mistakenly read the same line…?
Also why would you pause mid sentence as if it is a period on like every sentence??? (You could make a YouTube video about this alone of most annoying habit in the world).
Is this seriously the first book you’ve ever read out loud before?

Misleading Title

I got this book thinking it was going show what the title says.

The book starts out by explaining who Livermore was, and how successful he was. Good info. It goes on to share stories of his trades. Good and bad. In an overly general way, it explains his method of finding potentially profitable trades, holding them if they gain, and selling them if they are losing. So “buy low, sell high”.

It did offer a very very small amount of things to look out for, but again, very general. This is absolutely NOT a book on “how to trade in stocks”, but rather a book on how he prepared to look for his trades, some of Livermore’s successful trades, and some not successful trades. And a few mistakes he made, which he learned from.

Overall the book isn’t terrible, I did enjoy it, but it is definitely a short and very general recap of his trading career.

If the book was titled “A general overview of Livermore’s trading”, it would probably have gotten a better review from me. But I don’t think I would have bought that book. I was under the impression this was some insight to his trading method.

Needs Editing!!

This audio book provides very good 100 year old wisdom! It is highly recommended.
However the book recording needs editing. I hope they do it as it is not that hard to fix.
Also listening at 0.9X speed is recommended for a more pleasant experience.

absolutely thankful for this insight

I am very thankful for feedback from Livermores brain! youd be silly to think otherwise!

Great

Great stuff- the legend speaks. He was amazing. I like that it was short and to the point.

Good book

Very good one, but it’s for the people have many years experience in stock market. Most people may not get that leaves

Must Read Book for any Investor

It's a clear, to the point guide about trading stocks. Read it more than once.

Great book but not read well

Whoever is reading this has a weird timing as he reads. I was following along in the actual book. The reader adds words and misses complete sentences. I got tired of it after about page 8 of the book and decided to not listen to the audible version. Luckily it was like $5.00 so not a big loss. You get what you pay for. The book is solid gold. I recommend you read reminiscence if a stock operator first. It is based on Jesse Livermore.

The narrator is terrible

The narrator sounds like a robot. The book is good, the audiobook is not. I don’t know why they chose a subpar person to read such a book

Not too good

Didn’t learn much hope y’all get more out of it. Will read again one day.

Very blah

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is one of my all-time favs...read that instead of this, bit of a waste of time.

Okay

A little dated as expected, you can find all the same information read how to trade like a stock market champion - mark minnervini, still a good read, just a little introductory for someone far into trading.
