Here is a link to a pdf version of Livermore’s story.  I couldn’t get the link to work, so you’ll have to copy and paste it in your browser.

Anyone interested in trading, here is the bible. Read it, re-read it, and live it, then go back and re-read it again.  While very outdated, this was one of the most influential books I ever read.  This book made me want to be a speculator.  Livermore made many mistakes in his life and died peniless, but what a run while he had it.

(Already I had read this book more then 10 times till today in last 14 years )
