"Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" by Edwin Lefèvre is a semi-fictionalized autobiography that revolves around the life of Jesse Livermore (1877-1940), a prominent individual recognized for pioneering day trading and standing as one of history's most accomplished investors. At the height of his career in 1929, Livermore accumulated a staggering fortune of $100 million, equivalent to approximately $1.5 billion in today's currency, firmly establishing himself as one of the wealthiest individuals of his era. Originally serialized as articles in The Saturday Evening Post between 1922 and 1923, the book traces Livermore's evolution from day trading in the "bucket shops" to becoming a market speculator, maker, and manipulator, ultimately earning him the nickname "Boy Plunger" on Wall Street. This timeless piece of American business literature continues to provide valuable insights into the complexities of trading and the psychology of speculation.

Edwin Lefèvre (1871–1943) was an American journalist, writer, and diplomat, celebrated for his writings on Wall Street. Born in Colón, Colombia, he later relocated to the United States, commencing his career in journalism and eventually transitioning to become a stockbroker. Lefèvre penned numerous novels centered around financial themes. His most illustrious work, "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator," is acclaimed as a quintessential piece of American business literature, drawing inspiration from the life of stock market trader Jesse Livermore.
