Special Thanks

I would like to thank Patricia Livermore and Paul Livermore for their kind help and counsel in writing this book. I would also like to officially thank my father, Louis Smitten for all his expert help. And my best friend Gordon Badger for his always sage advice on all subjects.

Teresa Darty Alligood deserves the strongest “thank you” for her great job of single-handedly producing and editing the book. She also designed the cover, which I think is outstanding.

And thanks to Edward Dobson, president and publisher of Traders Press, Inc.® for his unyielding belief in Jesse Livermore and his methods of trading the market. We both concur that Jesse Livermore was a stock market “Master” who can teach us much about the markets of today.

And most importantly to Jesse Livermore for originally writing this great book in 1940, a book that is just as valid today as the day it was written.

“Wall Street never changes, the pockets change, the stocks change, but Wall Street never changes, because human nature never changes.”

—Jesse Livermore

Thank you Jesse Livermore, for your wisdom, hard work, and your high intelligence. And your never ending quest to learn the ways of the stock market.
