Jesse Lauriston Livermore was a famous American stock trader known for his enormous successes and devastating failures in the early 20th century. Starting out as a "chalkboard boy" in a Boston brokerage house, he became extremely wealthy as a trader first in "bucket shops" and then on the New York Stock Exchange. Livermore made millions during the Panic of 1907, the Roaring Twenties and the Stock Market Crash of 1929. His experiences are chronicled in the classic /"Reminiscences of a Stock Operator/" by Edwin Lefèvre.
Despite his legendary victories, Livermore went bankrupt several times and faced personal challenges, culminating in his tragic suicide in 1940. His legacy endures as an influential figure in financial history.
