This is the fictionalized account of the life of the securities trader Jesse Livermore. It follows his journey from the age of 15 when he made his first $1,000 to becoming a Wall Street legend. You'll see how he learned the ins and outs of trading the hard way while losing his fortune and then making it all back. Decades after its original publication, readers are still getting tremendous value from Livermore's experience. There has even been speculation that the book's author was not Lefevre, but none other than Jesse Livermore, himself.--
