But then there is a Wall Street fool who thinks he must trade at all times.
So he actually becomes, you know, he's a quite quick trader, but he calms down a little bit and waits for the big ones to go.
quite help himself yeah it reminds me of like saint augustine's prayer lord make me chase but not yet but not yet exactly now i really want to get into this because it's a perfect example exactly of what you say a time when jesse livermore did not follow his own rules and actually you know sometimes he got his he got his face ripped off but this time it really worked so we're in 1906 and
Livermore has adapted his style to the stock market.
He hasn't maybe mastered it, but he's a wealthy guy now.
He's doing really well.
He's, I think, late 20s, 28, 29, and he's on holiday in Atlantic City, and he sees that the market is really, really strong.
And normally that would mean that he'd lean into it.
He was a very bullish trader.
He liked stuff that went up and down, but he liked it when the animal spirits were soaring.
So you'd think when the market was that strong, he'd be buying, but he decides to short instead and go aggressively short.

Even weird events like an earthquake.
But do you think, did he sense something?
Was there something in the market technicals that gave him the kind of a bad juju feel?
Yeah, so that just happened to be the tragic trigger for the collapse of Union Pacific.
But it wasn't really – his view was more, well, maybe not fundamentally based, but sort of technically based.
He suspected that the stock had been kind of pumped up by some of these stock operators, the pools, weren't they called?
