Reminiscences of a Stock Operator Illustrated

The (insert your religious book here) of trading

This was a fun biography that had me rooting for Livingston (Livermore) the whole time. Some of the more technical lessons of the market may not be as applicable, especially those about stock manipulation which most of us will never be involved with. However, the detailed observations of a successful trader's education makes it very pertinent for most investors and traders. Most of today's great traders have read this text and speak fondly of it. Since this is a classic and not an expensive or overly long read, I don't know why any trader would omit this text from their library.

Love this book, entertaining and fun

I really enjoyed this book, i even read this and share the pics with my 8-year old before bedtime each evening.

this book is on my 'must read' list mainly because its a classic story about the ups and downs of being a trader. there isnt much relevancy to today's actuall market strategy, but a glimpse into the rise and falls of the average person trying to be a trader makes this a grerat story that every trader should read at least twice... and yes... my son enjoys the pictures very much! :)

One that simply must be in everyone's library.

This is the second or third book I read when I started out learning about the stock market after I seen it in just about everyone's lists of must read books. This book creates great imagery and immerses you into a very interesting time period. I think this would make a great movie!

How could you be a trader and not have read this book

By far the standard in books about the lifestyle of a trader. Nothing that will help you with charts/etc today but the psycology is there

simply must read

It's not a book about technical or fundamental analysis. This book is not going to teach you how to trade. However, it's a great biography book and some ideas incorporated in it are truly priceless.
