HOW TO TRADE IN STOCKS – BY JESSE LIVERMORE


(The Livermore formula for combining Time Element and Price)

Jesse Livermore is a stock market legend, known as a “Great Bear Of Wall Street”. In a life spent on Wall Street, he made and lost four fortunes. He is also known as a Millionaire Boy Plunger and was one of the Greatest Speculators and Market Analyst of the Century.
           

            Livermore’s son, Jesse Jr. suggested Livermore to write a book about his experiences and techniques in trading in the stock and commodity markets. This bought the flash of life back into Livermore and the book was completed and published by Duell, Sloan and Pearce in 1940. The book did not sell well, world war 2 was under way and the general interest on stock market was low.



(This post is not the review of the book, it’s about the essentials that you learn after reading the book, I have made my best efforts in presenting it in the form of Quotes)
