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

预判股价的少年。14岁时,拉里在一家经纪行把股价写在黑板上。他发现股价常常以同样的方式涨跌。

The world of the book
