Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre
A biography of Larry Livingstone written in 1923. Livingstone had made huge amounts of money and lost it several times in his carreer. Alot of the psychology to investing is still appicable today. Some great lines in the book:
- It takes a man a long time to learn all the lessons of his mistakes.
- It was an old trading theory of mine that when a stock crossess 100 or 200 or 300 for the first time, the price does not stop at the even figure, but goes a good deal higher.
- Of all the speculative blunders, there are few greater than trying to average a losing game. Always sell what shows you a loss, and keep what shows you a profit.
- As I have said a thousand times, no manipulation can put stocks down and keep them down. The people who know what a stock is worth will always buy it when it is selling at bargain prices.
Another good book to round out one's knowledge.
Jack
