The Story of the Great Bear of Wall Street

  • This is the rollercoaster life story about a true pioneer of stock market trading - Jesse Livermore. This Wall Street legend was able to quit his 9-5 already at the age of 15 to become a full-time day trader. At 30 he earned his first million dollars right in the midst of the 1907 Banker’s Panic. In 1929 he became one of the richest persons in America as he shorted the stock market at the onset of the Great Depression. And both in between an after all this, he went completely broke a couple of times.
    I think few other traders have had a more fascinating life than Jesse Livermore. A life filled with joy & despair, accomplishments & mistakes, fortunes & bankruptcies, and quite a few wives & mistresses. There are many lessons both in his accomplishments and mistakes for the aspiring investor, no matter if you are a long term investor or a trader.

    My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

    Key takeaways:
    1. Traders like numbers and have above-average pattern recognition.
    2. No one escapes from Dunning-Kruger effect.
    3. Learn from mistakes to achieve enlightenment.
    4. Don't use other people's playbook.
    5. Be observant, there are leading indicators everywhere if you just pay attention.
    6. When you/others are euphoric, sell/short.
    7. Marry and be faithful to your wife, not to Ms. Leverage. Do the opposite and you'll ruin your life.
    8. Don't ignore early sign of mental illness like depression.

    I finished reading "`Boy Plunger" yesterday and indeed history of Jesse is fascinating, yet tragic. But those wealthy years he and his family had, you can't take it from him, at least for a while he felt like investing God.
    Fun fact: Porn star Brandi Love is Livermore's granddaughter
    Weird fact 1: Livermore, Livermore junior and Livermore III, so father, son and grandson, they all committed suicide
    Weird fact 2: Livermore's last wife had 4 husband before, and all of them committed suicide, Livermore was fifth.

      It seems like he felt like mastering numbers was his whole life. Not much in the story about what he did for fun outside of trading, except for sailing and fishing. ...maybe he was on the autism spectrum since those seem like hobbies that allow you to restore your thoughts in solitude and low stress processes, while his trading work was his high stress processes. In his chapter with Dorothy though, he at least started a small family.

      @@jayantchoudhary8703 One of his wisdom is "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always my sitting". From this word I understand that I must have bigger guts to hold my winning position, not to cash in profit too early. Another wisdom "He must fear that hiss loss may develop into a much bigger losses, and hope that his profit may become a big profit". From this saying, I learn to cut losses as efficient as possible and hold winning position until the trend bends.

    When you read a story like Livermores, its hard not to believe that he was both a victim and a winner of pure probability, got wiped out three times, then got rich and then got wiped out again...... he was not a good trader but a person who was willing to push the boundaries when he was right........ most billionaires have made gambles at times in their career that would have broken them, but you dont hear the stories about the attempted billionaires who lost you only hear about the winners.... its survivorship bias. If enough people attempt and fail someone eventually wins, its no different than a person who wins the lotters.

    The issue with today's markets is that we can't even get a proper panic. Since QE started back in 2008, the rules have changed - the central banks rigged the game. If the 1907 bank-run happened today, the market would be soaring, bracing for a sector-wide bailout from the FED. The monetary addicts and the gamblers have dominated the market. The level of projection among the market participants is insane. They watch every single word from J. Powell and fit it into their own narrative either buying or selling everything from tech to well-established, high FCF companies. I wonder if we'll reach the point when market crash is bullish since crash means a new QE 🤔

      When he started out he was doing options so probably 100 percent. Then he started shorting hard to calculate the leverage of each trade. Then he was doing futures or going long. If you are a young guy it's better to buy the index than try some crazy trades.
