Summary

Edwin Lefevre (1871-1943) was a stockbroker and an independent investor, as well as a novelist and writer of short stories.

This lightly fictionalized account of the career of stock speculator Jesse Livermore was first published in 1923. Now, nearly 100 years later, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator remains highly recommended for an understanding of investment.

Lefevre’s trading advice and analyses of market price movements are as relevant today as in 1923. What makes this book so valuable are the observations that Lefèvre records about investing, speculating, and the nature of the market itself.

Offering profound insights into the attitudes, feelings and motivations of investors, the book is a timeless instructional tale for investors everywhere.

Narrator is trying too hard

Narrator is, in opinion, trying so hard to speak credibly as the main character, that it makes him not likeable. It's a relief when he's not in first person for a few sentences. Also, it's as if he was out of breath for the latter part of almost every sentence - makes listening experience heavy.

As relevant today as a century ago

This book is for traders. This should not be the first book you read. There is a fair amount of language that beginners and non-traders may find tricky to understand. This is the perfect break if you’re starting to feel a little worn out with the number of academic style text books you’ve already read and need something a little lighter but equally educational and more entertaining.

There are a lot of lessons applicable to modern trading within this book and delivered through an interesting and inspiring story. I also think the performance of the narrator on this version is better than the other versions available.

Good story

I liked this book as it is a good insight into what the stock market was like over 100 years ago and the entertaining Journey of Livingstone (Livermore). Did lose interest a little near the end but overall a good listen.
