  • Meet Jesse Livermore
    ccc_smitten_ch01_1-8.qxd 9/3/04 3:45 PM Page 1 CHAPTER 1 Meet Jesse Livermore esse Livermore was perhaps the best stock trader who ever lived. During his lifetime, he was a legend of Wall Street. He was “The Boy JPlunger,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Great Bear of Wall Street.” When he was alive, he was as famous as Warren Buffett is today, although they had entirely different trading techniques. He was a quiet and secretive man, given to keeping his own counsel. After losing several fortunes by listening to tips and the advice of men he thought were smarter than he was, he closed his offices near Wall Street at 111 Broadway, moved up to the Heckscher Building at 780 Fifth Avenue, and set up a palatial suite of offices. On one of his many trips to Europe, he had found a manor house in England with a huge paneled library. He bought the library, including books, paneling, and furniture. He had it dis- assembled in England and reconstructed in New York. The library was highly secure, with a private keyed elevator. It occu- pied the entire penthouse floor. When visitors exited the elevator, they found themselves in front of a big metal door that opened onto a small an- teroom whereCOPYRIGHTED Harry Dache would be waiting. MATERIAL Dache was a six-foot-six, former merchant mariner. He was Livermore’s bodyguard, chauffeur, con- fidante, and tutor of languages and life to his two sons. Once past Harry, visitors entered a suite of palatial offices, including one large room in which six men worked in silence on a walkway in front of a chalkboard, posting stock prices.

  • Major Find of Rare Al Demaree Die Cuts R304) in Wisconsin
    Major Find of Rare Al Demaree Die Cuts (R304) in Wisconsin Father‟s cards are under the bed Plus an interview with Marshall S. Leaf concerning the history of Leaf Gum and the R304s By George Vrechek A few months ago a hard-working Wisconsin man looked under a bed and found 109 of the rarest baseball cards ever issued. I‟ll call the man “Ken.” The cards are known in the hobby as the 1934 R304 Al Demaree Die-Cuts by Dietz Gum Co. of Chicago. I once described these cards as coming around about as often as eclipses. Before everyone starts looking under their beds, there is a bit more to the story including why this obscure set is so interesting. Ken has never been much of a collector and certainly had never heard of the Al Demaree Die- Cuts. However Ken‟s dad collected cards as a kid in the 1930s. Ken‟s dad was born in 1921 and grew up in Dixon, Illinois. He was always interested in sports, particularly the Chicago White Soxs. He saved shoeboxes of Goudeys and other memorabilia. Ken‟s parents moved to Ken‟s current home in Wisconsin in the late 1940s. Unfortunately, Ken‟s parents divorced and his mother pitched the shoeboxes to the dismay of Ken‟s dad. When Ken was still a teenager, his dad told him the cards he saved would be his and, it would be great if Ken could do something with them someday. Ken assumed the memorabilia his dad referred to had been destroyed.

  • TAPE READING and MARKET TACTICS the Three Steps to Successful Stock Trading
    TAPE READING AND MARKET TACTICS The Three Steps to Successful Stock Trading By HUMPHREY B. NEILL B. C. FORBES PUBLISHING COMPANY New York, 1931 I dedicate this book to my losses, with a deep appreciation for the experi- ence and knowledge which each loss has brought me. PREFACE (February, 1931) IN the making of this book, the tail literally has wagged the dog. The original plan was to col- lect in bound form a number of editorials written and published in a little magazine called if, As and When. As I set about coordinating and edit- ing these various manuscripts, the thought pre- sented itself that every speculator has three steps to climb before he can expect consistent market success. These are: first, familiarizing himself with the power and the methods of the professional specu- lative groups which operate "behind the tick- ers "; second, learning the principles whereby he may interpret the maneuvers of those groups and the actions of the public; and third — and most important—attaining a mastery of himself: of his temperament, emotions, and the other vari- ables that go to make up human nature. In conference with the publishers, it was then —V— PREFACE PREFACE decided to make the main portion of this book can learn in a comparatively short time to tell from a treatise on the interpretation of the ticker tape, the tape what is likely to happen. inasmuch as there have been any number of in- Right here, however, I should like to inject my quiries about, and requests for, instruction in tape personal opinion, that anyone who attempts to reading and market tactics.

  • The Saga of the Legendary Trader, Jesse Livermore: Much of the Time and Then Making Quick Forays in the Market Based on Short-Term Calculations
    Summary Bradley, Foster & Sargent, Inc. Investing in stocks is very different than speculating in stocks. Investing in stocks involves the Quarterly Market Commentary commitment of money in order to create appreciation of capital and growth of income over the longer term. Speculation in stocks primarily involves the goal of quick and large profits through methods which involve the significant risk of losing much or all of one’s capital. Rather than focusing on speculating in the short term, investors know that the U.S. stock market over the long term has produced remarkable results. The S&P 500 since 1926 has produced an average October 2015 annual return of approximately 10%. The Dow Jones in the 20th century showed an increase of 17,320%.
