How Jesse Livermore Made Fortunes in the Stock Market

Legendary Trader - Jesse Livermore

Jesse Livermore was a notorious stock market speculator during the first half of the 20th century. He was a major force on Wall St in markets that were plagued by the same hopes and fears as today's. “Reminiscences of a stock operator” in 1923 offers timeless insight and wisdom for traders offered by Livermore. Lessons taught can be applied to today’s markets:

• Use a system and don’t deviate from it.
• If a market doesn’t act right do not touch it; being unable to tell precisely what is wrong, means you cannot tell which way the market is going.
• Don’t blame the market for losses.
• Do not seek to lure profit back. Quit while the quitting is good- and cheap.
• A Speculators chief enemy is boredom, don’t seek a trade let the trade seek you.
• Use money management at all times.
• Establish a trading plan.
• Detail and analyse each trade thoroughly.
• Establish entry and exit points and risk reward ratios.
• Accept small losses as part of the game.
• Do not concentrate on breakeven levels when you are losing.
• Develop a trading plan for every possible situation that might occur.
• Follow exit plans with rigid discipline.
• Do not be overly cautious, simple trades are best.
• Sustain patience; big movements can take a long time.


We hope these pearls of wisdom help.

Stock Operator Extraordinaire

Born in 1877 and died in 1940, Jesse Livermore is the greatest trader / speculator who ever lived.  At his peak in 1929, Jesse Livermore was worth more than $100 millions.  He would have been richer than Bill Gates in today's money.  An unseen feat for a self-taugh / self-made stock and commodities trader who ONLY TRADED HIS OWN MONEY, not Other People Money like today investment's superstars who heads investment banks and hedge funds..  With Bernard Baruch, he was one of the original trend followers.

Loner, individualist, suffering from severe episodes of depression, probably bipolar disorders who eventually took his life, Jesse Livermore made and lost four colossal fortunes during his lifetime.  Make two of his fortunes during stock market crashes periods, in 1907 and 1929, short-selling stocks.  Which earned him $3 millions in 1907 and $100 millions in 1929.  While everyone was losing their shirt, the astute Jesse Livermore was on top of the world!

Unlike the miser Warren Buffett, Livermore was living the life.  At his peak, he owned a series of mansions in several countries, each fully staffed with about 20 or 25 servants year-round, a fleet of limousines and several Rolls Royce cars (my favorites), lot of chauffeurs, yatchs, and regularly threw lavish parties.

Jesse Livermore also had a ticker tape in every home that he owned, on his railway cars, on his yachts.

Let's see the definitions.
As defined by Wikipedia.

- In finance, speculation is a financial action that does not promise safety of the initial investment along with the return on the principal sum.

- Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods.
