Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a 1923 roman à clef (that is: a story about real life events that is overlaid with thin facade of fiction) about the life and times of legendary stock market trader Jesse Livermore.
Just a quick note for those who might be puzzled by this case: we’re setting up for a sequence on Asian conglomerates. This is ostensibly about capital expertise (the way Williamson manipulates Livermore for market structure reasons is worth reading about) — but there is another reason we’re publishing this case, which will become clear soon.
