Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

In 1923, Edwin Lefevre wrote a series of 12 articles for newspaper publication that were later brought together as a book. 'Reminiscences of a Stock Operator' was the result, and it's known as the definitive literature on how the stock exchange works. Although it's written as a work of fiction, there's no doubt that the story is a biography of Jesse Livermore, one of the greatest investors that ever lived.

Without beating about the bush any further, if you invest in the stock market and you haven't read this book already you need to read it now. This book is still as relevant now as it was 85 years ago, be very clear about that. And this is why this post exists, because your pay-it-forward Otto has a PDF version of the book. You therefore get to read this classic free, gratis and for nothing just by clicking this link right here. No subscriptions, no questions, no kickbacks here, either. Just a bit of knowledge-sharing. Enjoy.
