About the book

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a first-person account of a speculator’s life on Wall Street, told as if the trader were talking to the reader. It was written by Edwin Lefèvre, an American journalist who wrote about Wall Street for many years. It first ran as a series in The Saturday Evening Post and came out as a book in 1923. The narrator, Larry Livingston, is widely understood to be based on the trader Jesse Livermore, to whom the book is dedicated.
