Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

His knowledge is shared and applicable even today , a great read

Well, let me first write about my background and why I bought this book. I'm actually not a trader but have deep interest in stock markets, trading, and investment planning. I do manage my own investments and do some freak trades quite often. I've been in wall street and London working for investment banks in their IT departments creating and managing IT trading systems. I bought this week 6-7 weeks back and read the entire book in just two three days from cover to cover. I found the book very interesting in the end. To begin with it looked to me as a personal trading philosophy but by the end it became like a general guideline for traders. How a trader should plan, what should he be aware of and how he should stick to HIS rules of trading. Trading, as I understand is a profession which needs deep understanding of stock market operations along with a general knowledge of economic matters in your surroundings like country. My recommendation for future buyers of this book will be that Buy it, if you are really interested in trading as a subject. This is strange book with no table of contents, no summaries and no preface etc. I never read any such book which did not set the context in the beginning and just started with a personal experience. I don't that's bad about the book but it certainly looked new to me.

Good for understanding what goes in the mind of a trader.Print on the book is Rs250.Got it in Rs 163 so yes discount wise also good.

This is a timeless classic every aspiring trader should read. Market is you. The opening lines 'If you don't know yourself, market is an expensive place to know' The version and publisher which has apt number of pages and font size. Don't go for cheaper versions. They might have smaller font harr to read. Go with this cover.

Every trader wants to read Jesse Livermore and Mark Douglas at least once in their trading career. Received the book in good condition, pages are white, clean and not with yellow tint which I like basically. The cover, spine and pages are intact with no folds or tear. Seller was cocoblu. Now most of the readers know the content about the books they want to read now it's all about in what condition you receive the book when you buy online, it's 50-50. Returning is time consuming, so getting good condition in the first shot seems a good luck now :D Dimension is 8x5 inches and more than 1/2 inch in depth, this particular book with this cover has 304 pages in total.

Good quality

Nice paper and print, nothing to complain

Although I ordered for a paperback, I got a hardcover. Illustration on the cover, binding, printing and page quality is decent. In my view, the book needs an appendix to explain some terms like 'bucket shop', 'plunger' etc. Instead of marking the chapters with roman numerals, it would have been better if they had some insightful heading as keywords for each chapter. There are few misprints and the people who composed the pages ought to have been more careful. The content is somewhat boring as it is like reading ancient history of American stock market. However we all have different tastes. Someone may like this book as well. I find 'How I made 2 million in the stock market' much more interesting than this one. And lastly the seller should not made a killing by charging Rs 80/- as cost of delivery where the book is sent through India Post as a registered printed book for a minimal tarrif of Rs 20/- to Rs 30/- max.
