Jesse Livermore's How-to Trade in Stocks Paperback – May 23, 2019

Ch8 details "The Livermore Market Key". This was Jesse Livermore's system to determine pivot points OR the tops and bottoms of trends. These explanations are hard to follow without pictures of the 6 column chart that Jesse uses to determine the start and end of trends. I actually found a video on YouTube that showed a picture of this chart.I would suggest that if there is another book by this title with pictures & charts, you should buy that one.

This book : reprinted only the text part of the original (the first 9 chapters) , and totally missing the last section : "Charts and explanations for the Livermore Market Key" (pp 79 - 111) (I'm comparing this reprint with "How to tade in Stocks " by Jesse L. Livermore , by "Traders Press incorporated" , Greenville , S.C. 29606 USA, (copyright 1940 by Jesse Livermore , originally published in 1940 , Published May 1991 ) .

This book is missing many pages at the end, including the key charts Livermore used and are described in the pages that are included. There are much better Livermore book choices.

must read for anyone interested in the market, lots of good pointers from a man how won and lost multiple fortunes on the market.

as expected

HAPPY

While this book contains some good general guidance from the world's greatest stock trader, overall it is quite lacking. One reviewer pointed out that the book is missing pages 79-111. That makes sense because the book ends abruptly on page 78 after a confusing description of how to find pivot points. There are typos that obscure meaning. The language is awkward at times. Some of the stories are hard to absorb on the first reading.There are wonderful books about Jesse Livermore, including Richard Smitten's biography and Edwin Lefre's fictional version. Those books are far more instructive--and far more readable-- than this sorry text written by Jesse himself.Jesse was an amazing trader, but he is a poor writer. One anecdote in the book describes Jesse trying to get a friend to invest in a business venture. The friend replies, "Livermore, you will never make a success in any business outside of your own...please speculate and stay away from business." The writing in this book proves the friend to be correct.Please read one of the great biographies of Jesse and skip this book.

The book is 78 pages. I finished reading it in 3 hours and I'm no speed reader, if that gives you an impression of the content... I still found the book interesting and it has left a memorable impact on me, worth the money in my opinion. Sorry I didn't give it 5 stars Jesse, should have put some more anecdotes and analogys to make it longer. R.I.P.

Brilliant book!

This book is advertised as "Jesse Livermore's How-to Trade in Stocks" by Jesse Livermore and does not mention anywhere that it is an abridged version.This is a text only version of 77 pages - I believe it is missing up to 150 pages of charts relating to Jesse Livermore's strategies - the full version has 225 pages. The full version is called "How to Trade in Stocks" by Jesse Livermore.You are not buying the full book if you buy this advertised version - misleading advertising...!!!

Seems like copy paste and that also full of mistakes.

A2Z of Speculation, although Investing is now more than speculation, but still it's a factor even no investor can ignore

It wasn't what I thought it was going to be.
