Lefèvre E. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator: With New Commentary and Insights on the Life and Times of Jesse Livermore

Hoboken: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2010. — 438 p. — ISBN: 0470481595, 9780470481592.The author viewed the trader’s little-known rags-to-riches story as an ideal vessel into which he could mix his views about all that was deceitful, wretched, and corrupt, yet also energizing and transcendent, about Wall Street. Although Livermore was reclusive and shy, he proved more than willing to share his life’s story with someone of such rich creative talent. The tale that emerged — Reminiscences of a Stock Operator — was without doubt far greater than either could have told alone. Livermore later wrote his book about trading, and Lefevre wrote another book centered on a single trader, and neither of those efforts came close to the glory that they had found when teaming together.
