    This was superb - Jesse Livermore had a nephew by the name of John (Jack) Grant who I believe grew up in Florida who was a very dear friend of mine . To look at Jack and at Jesse the family resemblance is striking . To make a long story short Jack was a retired Lt. Col. from the USAF and like Jesse a genius with a degree in electrical engineering. He was also a commodity trader and market analyst both of us working for Siegel Trading Co. in Oklahoma City in the mid 70's . Jack taught me how to trade options always emphasizing the dangers of getting the big head when you had a nice win. Jack was involved in a nasty divorce and had suffered a substantial trading loss in a soybean play - he didn't show up for work one morning - I went to his apartment . He was deceased by his own hand , this was in June of 1976. Thanks in large measure to Jack's tutelage I am very comfortably retired. At the time of Jack's passing I knew nothing of the fates of Jesse Livermore's sons.

    Anyone who trades knows that large swings in PNL are extremely damaging to the human psyche. The losses weigh extremely heavy and are felt much more than the wins. And yet, the big rewards don't come without the accompanying risk; but most people don't consider risk management first (to protect their mental health and trading confidence). Livermore lived on both sides to the extreme, and I'm sure the stress piled up and cost him, despite previous proof of bouncing back. The market shifted, as it always does, his strategy didn't work anymore, and now there was no coming back. I was happy to hear he established that Trust to serve as protection from poverty, but it looks like he may have undone it to try to bounce back and failed. He never learned to just walk away, because trading is all he ever knew.

      There's a bit more to that still, stock trading is very much like gambling, and I'm sure that people knee deep in either share the same character traits and have largely the same things motivating them. Trading and gambling doesn't make a person truly happy or fulfilled, perhaps the opposite is true, miserable and hollow. If you have borrowed 10.000 today and a year later you've made 10 million in risky, high payoff, high leverage speculative trades, where do you go from there? Slow down? In the story, Livermore has succumbed to sunk cost fallacy multiple times, and the outcome was a coin toss. "Broken every one of his own rules" is not something that inspires confidence that a man can keep a multi-million dollar fortune. Added to that, not only was he himself deeply psychologically troubled, so was his wife (lavish parties, shot her own son), so was his son (shot himself), so was his grandson (shot himself)... I mean... abundance of money made in a "casino" probably trivialized their lives, that were bereft of meaning.

      Yeah..the only way to make huge % gains is to be aggressive. I knew a trader that took $50,000 to $5 Million in the 2003-2007 bull market. He did it by going all in the market leading stocks. RISKY. Yes. But there is no other way to make 150%+ per annum.
      It ended bad when CROX gapped down. He lost $3 Million of that $5 million. Still walked away with $2 million. I think he retired. Smart.
      Only trade with money you can lose 50% of....play the aggressive game. See where it goes.

    As a Trader I have decided to separate my private life from the market swings😢market swings can send you to an early grave. When I saw the emotional toll that volatility caused on my life I decided to put aside 50% of the profits won from every trade into stable investments like Real Estate. It worked like magic,, once you know the market can't clean you out in one swing you start enjoying life, you can comfortably start a family, have long term friends and pursue other ventures.

    This story has lessons deeper than trading. It’s about experience, trial and error, learning from mistakes and blaming yourself not others for your mistakes.

      ​@@DDDd-yz6kz It is a good rule, yet seemingly so easy when you are already willing to do something risky. If you then watch the movement too much and see upward movement, you can delude yourself into putting in way more.

    Mr. Patrick, this is quite possibly one of the best biographies I've ever listened to.Better than anything on A&E or the now useless history channel.I no longer watch cable tv (fools tube). I've read bios on Livermore-but none as good as this presentation. you totally captured the essence of the man-and your narrative of the triumphs & tragedies was gripping--like a roller coaster. I own several stocks and I learned much from this video that I didn't learn from reading the bios. And no- it was not too long- man I wanted you to keep the content going. like a part 2. Obviously you have a talent for producing quality historical bios and documentaries. Your research & scholarship is hard hitting. These documentaries are (in my opine) the best part of your channel. Also when you direct me to another past docus you've done I always click. Can you do more biographies like this?

    This is the best finance video I have ever seen. If it teaches anything then it is that 1) Leverage is not worth the inevitable massive losses that will follow one day 2) Luck plays a big part in speculation, to the point where one wonders if Livermore his life was just a case of survivorship bias

    I found Reminiscences of a Stock Operator at a used book store one day, I had never heard of Jesse Livermore or this book but the title caught my eye. It was a heavy annotated version that was a little too much for me at the time so I left it there. Several months later I returned to that book store and it was till sitting there, so before I lost the opportunity I decided to buy it at last. It absolutely became one of my favorite books. I read it, then took to listening to the audio book on walks. Probably three times or so ive gone through it and always enjoy this book. Great video man as always

  • @idw9159

    Thank-you, Patrick, you are a wonderful raconteur. The life of Jesse Livermore has held a long standing fascination for me. I have made two fortunes and lost them both - now working on the third! It is exceptionally difficult to learn from one's mistakes and this was Livermore's greatest asset coupled with his obvious intuition on market action. The stories about Northern Pacific and cotton are especially salutary - in the end nobody can readily predict the future. Livermore's major early failing was risk management - which the bucket shops forced him into by closing out losing positions. Apart from the interesting tale there is much for traders & speculators to take from study of Livermore's life and its ups and downs. You have presented a well-balanced and insightful look into this brilliant yet deeply flawed man, enjoyed every minute...

    Well, I didn't think I would, but I did listen to the entire episode. The name Livermore was part of my childhood, possibly from a remote ancestor of the family. Reg Livermore, from memory, from Lockheed in California resonates with this story , mostly because of the wealth, his wealth, not mine! . A good narrative, thank you, Greetings from Australia.

    Thank you for this very well researched and very witty examination of Jessie Livermore. As a kid I used to watch "Wall Street Week" and I read "Reminiscences" ...which influenced me greatly.
    I later became a full floor trading member of the American Stock Exchange.... walking down the same street in the opening of "WSW", and even market making in the same AMEX isle shown ...and became a long time New York Cotton Exchange floor member....as a prop trader and market maker in options on cotton futures. After blowing up and on the comeback trail, my clerk told me, "Mark, do you want to appear smart and clever... or do you want to make money?" I gave up trying to outsmart everything... and I never blew up again. Your story here made me reflect, once again, about how Livermore blew himself up several times after he had made enough to live as a very wealthy person the rest of his life. Thanks again for this video!

    Side note about the length: this made me think back to school and how I struggled to care or get interested during most lessons. It’s really shocking how that’s completely the opposite to this hour I spent. I was curiously fascinated and enjoying myself. I only checked how much longer I had left because I was sad it was going to end, and got excited when I still have half the video left! Glad you choose to adjust lengths based on the topics to fit your topics!

    The psychology of trading is fascinating. When you see that one of the most well known winners still managed to lose everything several times, it makes you realise just how difficult it is. That won't stop people trying it. I did enjoy reading "Reminisces of a stock operator", made me think how little things have changed over the years.
