Jesse Livermore, a living legend of the Wall Street stock market. He entered the market with $5 from others at the age of 14, earned his first thousand dollars at the age of 15, earned his first ten thousand dollars at the age of 21, earned fifty thousand dollars at the age of 24, was worth one million at the age of 29, was worth three million at the age of 30, and was worth 100 million at the age of 52.
This book is full of Livermore's life and investment ideas. He had experienced ups and downs several times, and made a lot of money from both long and short positions. The experience he accumulated throughout his life influenced the stock gods of all generations, including Graham, Buffett, Soros, and Peter Lynch, especially Peter Lynch. So Jack Schwager said: "In interviews with 30 of the most outstanding securities traders of our time, I asked them the same question: Which book has been the most inspiring to securities traders? So far, the top spot on this list is the great book "Memoirs of a Stock Operator" published 70 years ago."
