Provenance
Jesse Lauriston Livermore (1877-1940), legendary Wall Street trader, whose life was documented in the famous fictionalized biography, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, first published in 1923. His biography is still in print and is considered to be one of the great books on finance. Livermore's strategy on speculation and investing may be summarized by a quote from Reminiscences of a Stock Operator: "Of all the speculative blunders, there are few greater than trying to average a losing game. Always sell what shows you a loss and keep what shows you a profit." According to Martin Zweig, in Winning on Wall Street, "Jesse Livermore was one of the most fabulous traders of all time, my hero in market care. His emphasis on letting your profits run and cutting your losses has always stood me in good stead."
