Reminiscences of a stock operator

Had just finished this book over the weekend. Really got me thinking for a while. Will probably take some time for me to digest and appreciate what Larry Livingston or Jesse Livermore is trying to impart to me. From his narration, it seems that he did not only rely on tape reading for his trading. It does occur to me that he dug through annual reports and research heavily on the fundamental side before plunging into any operation, be it as a manipulator or a stock operator. Looks like I probably have years to go before becoming "KING" for one day which he have spoken on.
