"All through time, people have basically acted and reacted the same way in the market as a result of: greed, fear, ignorance, and hope.

But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor." Excerpts from Jesse Livermore, How To Trade In Stocks In the Squibb building at 745 Fifth Avenue, at the age of 63, Livermore entered the Sherry-Netherland Hotel on November 28, 1940, at 4:30 in the afternoon. Sitting on a stool at the end of the cloakroom, he withdrew a .32-caliber Colt automatic pistol (he had bought the gun in 1928 while he was living in Evermore), placed the barrel of the gun behind his right ear and pulled the trigger, dying instantly. It was never disclosed to anyone what happened to the great fortune he had made in the crash of 1929, but he had lost it all... He left a widower whose four previous husbands had also committed suicide! On the same subject... "There is a fine line between geniuses and eccentrics.
