This major Wall Street classic was first published in 1930 by the legendary Richard D. Wyckoff, who is best known as the founder and publisher of the "Magazine of Wall Street". It covers his fascinating career as self-made stock market operator from 1888 to 1928. Wyckoff's career involved long hours of hard work in his exhaustive study of market price movements and volume for which he is also well known. Many of the market operators of the day, such as Livermore and Keene, were personally known to Wyckoff and in their work he recalls their views and methods of trading. This is a must-have book for the student of market lore.
