More quotes by Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Speculation is a hard and trying business, and a speculator must be on the job all the time or he'll soon have no job to be on.

For instance, let us say that a new stock has been listed in the last two or three years and its high was 20, or any other figure, and that such a price was made two or three years ago.

I have always played a lone hand. It is the way my mind works. I have to do my own seeing and my own thinking.

They were helping me with all their might.

On Pat Hearne - He made money in stocks, and that made people ask him for advice. He would never give any. If they asked him point-blank for his opinion about the wisdom of their commitments he used a favorite race-track maxim of his: You can't tell till you bet.

There is the plain fool who does the wrong thing at all times anywhere, but there is the Wall Street fool who thinks he must trade all the time.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
When I'm bearish and I sell a stock, each sale must be at a lower level than the previous sale. When I am buying, the reverse is true. I must buy on a rising scale. I don't buy long stocks on a scale down, I buy on a scale up.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
A man must study general conditions, to seize them so as to be able to anticipate probabilities.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
It isn't a hunch but the subconscious mind, which is the creative mind, at work. That is the mind which makes artists do things without their knowing how they came to do them. Perhaps with me it was the cumulative effect of a lot of little things individually insignificant but collectively powerful.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Never buy at the bottom, and always sell too soon.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
If I buy stocks on Smith's tip I must sell those same stocks on Smith's tip. I am depending on him. Suppose Smith is away on a holiday when the selling time comes around?
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Wall Street never changes, the pockets change, the suckers change, the stocks change, but Wall Street never changes, because human nature never changes.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
To anticipate the market is to gamble. To be patient and react only when the market gives the signal is to speculate.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
There is only one side to the stock market and it is not the bull side or the bear side, but the right side
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
The desire for constant action irrespective of underlying conditions is responsible for many losses on Wall Street even among the professionals, who feel that they must take home some money every day, as though they were working for regular wages.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
A man must believe in himself and his judgement if he expects to make a living at this game. That is why I don't believe in tips.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
The stock market is never obvious. It is designed to fool most of the people, most of the time.
Jesse Lauriston Livermore
It takes a man a long time to learn all the lessons of all his mistakes.
