Summary
First published in 1923, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is the fictionalized biography of Jesse Livermore, one of the greatest speculators who ever lived. Now, almost 90 years later, it remains the most widely read, highly recommended investment book ever written. Generations of investors have found that it has more to teach them about themselves and other investors than years of experience in the market. They have also discovered that its trading advice and keen analyses of market price movements ring as true today as in 1923.
Jesse Livermore won and lost tens of millions of dollars playing the stock and commodities markets during the early 1900s. So potent a market force was he in his day that, in 1929, he was widely believed to be the man responsible for causing the Crash.
Originally reviewed in The New York Times as a nonfiction book, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator vividly recounts Livermore's mastery of the markets from the age of 14. Always good at figures, he learns, early on, that he can predict which way the numbers will go. Starting out with an investment of five dollars, he amasses a fortune by his early twenties and establishes himself as a major player on the Street. Bullish in bear markets, and bearish among bulls, he claims that only suckers gamble on the market. The trick, he advises, is to protect yourself by balancing your investments, and selling big on the way down. Livermore goes broke three times, but he comes back each time feeling richer for the learning experience.
Offering profound insights into the motivations, attitudes, and feelings shared by every investor, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a timeless instructional tale that will enrich the lives – and the portfolios – of today's traders as it has those of generations past.

For trade addiction only
A classic of American business. All traders can relate Jesse's and Edwin's experience as a trader as well as learn from them. Though fictionalised but has actual exploits, personalities, and locations in the story. You'll notice nothing has changed in the markets and in traders for the last 100 years with the exception of technology.

Enjoyable
A very enjoyable story which I found fascinating as it takes place in a world where trading was done before the internet. The story was a little short given that I only get 1 audible credit a month and finished this in 1 week, yet I am glad I'm choose it as it is one if the all time greats and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in old trading stories.

Cool story but don't expect a lot of wisdom
Didn't learn much since he only mentioned very basic rules and I expected more wisdom.

An all time classic - and an excellent adaptation.
Any additional comments?
If you're interested in trading/investing at all, you're probably familiar with this classic thinly veiled biography of Jesse Livermore. It has lasted for nearly a century because it's a book on trading psychology before the concept really existed, and the lessons it teaches are still relevant today. I liked that it is as long as needs to be, and no longer, and that it doesn't get bogged-down in irrelevant personal stories, but does bring in the protagonists personal quirks and history when they are relevant to the subject.
The narrator is particularly good - he's lively, brings the characters to life, and makes the book memorable.

Fantastic!
The beginning of the book describing trading as it was conducted a century ago can be percieved as less relevant for a modern time reader, although fundamental principles of tape reading still are the same. The last two thirds or so of the book is just a pleasure to listen to and offers so many great insights any trader can relate to. It is truly a classic that lives up to it's reputation as one of the "must reads" for anyone interested in trading.
