Book summary

As a young boy, Larry Livingston starts out in a brokerage house, chalking up stock prices on a board. He becomes one of the greatest speculators on Wall Street, and tells of his strokes of genius, his bankruptcies, and everything his mistakes taught him about the markets and about himself.

A cult book among traders and investors, still read for its lessons on risk, patience and keeping your emotions in check.

Told in the first person, like a long conversation, it is easy to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

주가를 내다보는 소년. 14살, 래리는 증권 중개소에서 칠판에 주가를 적는다. 그는 주가가 자주 같은 방식으로 움직인다는 것을 알아챈다.

The world of the book

1900년 무렵의 뉴욕 증권거래소. 증권거래소가 있는 월가는 미국 금융의 중심지다. 여기서 회사의 지분, 곧 주식을 사고판다. 주가는 매분 바뀌고, 전신이 이를 전국으로 보낸다. 곳곳의 작은 가게에서는 누구나 이 주가에 돈을 걸 수 있다.
