*How to Trade In Stocks* by Jesse Livermore is a classic investment guide that offers timeless insights into the art of stock trading from one of Wall Street’s most legendary speculators. Originally published in 1940, the book combines Livermore’s personal trading rules, psychological observations, and market philosophies with biographical elements that chronicle his dramatic rise and fall in the markets. Rather than focusing on technical analysis or financial theory, Livermore emphasizes the importance of market timing, trend recognition, discipline, and emotional control. His principles—such as cutting losses quickly, letting profits run, and avoiding tips—continue to influence modern trading strategies. For both new and experienced investors, this book serves as a foundational text on speculation and self-mastery in the markets.
