Jesse Lauriston Livermore was a famed American stock trader known for his huge successes and devastating failures in the early 20th century. Starting as a "chalkboard boy" in a Boston brokerage, he became hugely wealthy as a trader first in "bucket shops" and then on the exchange in New York.  Livermore made millions in the Panic of 1907, the roaring 20's and in the 1929 market crash. His experiences are chronicled in the classic "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" by Edwin Lefèvre.Despite his legendary wins, Livermore went bankrupt numerous times and faced personal challenges, culminating in his tragic suicide in 1940. His legacy endures as an influential figure in financial history.Books:Jesse Livermore – The Man Who Sold America Short by Tom Rubython: https://amzn.to/3vWOrCAJesse Livermore – Worlds Greatest Stock Trader by Richard Smitten: https://amzn.to/47QO3TmJesse Livermore – Speculator King by Paul Sarnoff: https://amzn.to/47R9jIvReminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre: https://amzn.to/496874UHow to Trade in Stocks by Jesse Livermore: https://amzn.to/4baKom1Online SourcesNew York Times Time Machine: https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/browserTime Magazine Archives: https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,847596-2,00.html Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_LivermorePatrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor:  https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor:  https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance:  https://amzn.to/3fn3rvCPatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyleVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyle Support the show
