speculation's greatest story

The first edition of this investment classic, a fictionalised biography of the day trader Jessie Livermore, to whom the book is dedicated. 'This book, in fact, is almost an encyclopaedia of trading advice from a master who lived through good times and bad... Lefèvre captures the excitement of Livermore's career and, at the same time, preserves much of Livermore's market wisdom' (Zerden).

One of the greatest works on market speculation. To the hedge fund expert Jack Schwager it is 'One of the most highly regarded financial books ever written'. Ken Fisher says 'After 20 years and many re-reads, Reminiscences is still one of my all time favourites', and Barton Biggs considered it 'The classic work about intuitive trading. No investor's education is complete without it'.
