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

預判股價的少年。14歲時,拉里在一家經紀行把股價寫在黑板上。他發現股價常常以同樣的方式漲跌。

The world of the book

1900年前後的紐約證券交易所。華爾街是交易所所在的街道,也是美國的金融中心。人們在這裡買賣公司的股份,也就是股票。股價每分鐘都在變化,電報把它們傳遍全國。各地的小鋪子讓任何人都能押注這些股價。
