Quotes
"Profits always take care of themselves but losses never do."
"The average man doesn't wish to be told that it is a bull or a bear market.
What he desires is to be told specifically which particular stock to buy or sell.
He wants to get something for nothing. He does not wish to work.
He doesn't even wish to have to think."
"When it comes to selling stocks, it is plain that nobody can sell unless somebody wants those stocks.
If you operate on a large scale, you will have to bear that in mind all the time.”

โพสต์ที่ 2
Jesse Livermore was a highly visible stock trader and speculator for almost fifty years.
He was famous for making and losing several multimillion dollar fortunes during his professional career.
Investment Style
Jesse Livermore had no formal education or stock trading experience. He was a self-made man who learned from his winners as well as his losers.
It was these successes and failures that helped cement trading ideas that can still be found throughout the market today.
Some of the major principles that he employed include:
• Money is not made in day trading on price fluctuations. Livermore emphasized the importance of focusing on markets as a whole, rather than on individual stocks.
He noted that greater success comes from determining the direction of the overall market than attempting to pick the direction of an individual stock without concern for market direction.
• Adopt a buy-and-hold strategy in a bull market and sell when it loses momentum. Livermore always had an exit strategy in place.
• Study the fundamentals of a company, the market and the economy. Livermore separated successful investors from unsuccessful investors by the level of effort they put into investing.
• Investors who focus on the short term eventually lose their capital.
• Ignore insider information; make your own independent analysis. Livermore was very careful about where he got his information and recommended using multiple sources.
• Embrace change in adapting investing strategies to evolving market conditions.
