Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is probably one of the best and well known books on the subject of financial speculation.
The book is a thinly disguised biography of the great stock trader Jesse Livermore, but also documents the time of financial speculation during the early 20th century.
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator tells how Livermore started his amazing career when he was a teenager working in one of the bucket shops that were common during this time. He had a head for numbers and noticed how stocks reacted during times of heavy buying or selling.

Martin Schwartz (aka Buzzy, aka Marty Schwartz) is a once legendary trader on Wall Street. His trading prowess has been documented in two very good books that I have read : Market Wizards : Interviews with Top Traders by Jach Schwager and Pit Bull : Lessons from Wall Street’s Champion Day Trader
an autobiography by Martin Schwartz himself (of course).
Schwartz honed his trading skills after periods of losses by formulating a strict trading plan with lots of research in the markets. By setting himself goals he has been able to achieve outstanding success as a trader.
Schwartz has certainly achieved a lot in his trading career. His trading results speak for themselves, but he also took part and won many trading contests.
However, with this success, there also came a lot of stress - resulting in sickness and emergency heart surgery rescuing him from certain death. And finaly a change in lifestyle and scenery by moving from New York to Florida.
Where to buy Martin “Buzzy” Schwartz books
If you are keen to buy Martin “Buzzy” Schwartz books, I would recommend the following websites for getting a better deal than buying at a shop:
- Ebay - You can often find a good deal on used items here, and I often pick up useful books for low prices.
- Amazon - Amazon.com allways has these books in stock and can deliver it quickly.
If you are interested in Nicolas Darvas and/or the methods he used to make two million dollars in the Stock Market, then you should definitely read How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market
. It is a first hand account of how Nicolas Darvas made $2,000,000 dollars in the stock market in the space of about 2 years.

Nicolas Darvas was a world famous American dancer back in the mid 1900’s. After making a profit in some stock of a Canadian mining firm (which he bought from the proprietors of a Canadian dance venue), Darvas was hooked on chasing a quick buck in the Stock Market.
Like many before him, Darvas was convinced that having made an initial profit, he was some kind of natural born stock market speculator. However (again like many before him) Darvas took loss after loss on the Canadian stock market after buying in and out of the market on the advice of brokers and newsletters.
