NO.1 If the most influential financial figure in history is Jesse Livermore, the Wall Street bear of the last century. His life is a legend. His life has been crazy. In the 193s, the American stock market crash led to the ruin of countless Americans, but he became one of the richest people on Wall Street by shorting. Dow Jones was hit from a high of 35 to 45. The decline is nearly 9%. The American stock market crashed. Earn hundreds of millions of dollars. Known as the biggest bear on Wall Street. Later, because his son committed suicide and his wife betrayed various factors, he was unable to engage in transactions rationally and was defeated by the market. Finally committed suicide.
NO.2 Charlie Dennis. Commodity futures made a fortune, and $4 magically became a legend of $2 million after 15 years. After encountering setbacks in the stock market.
NO.3。 George. Soros, Jim. Rogers, these two are the golden partners of the former Quantum Fund. I need not say more about their deeds.
NO.4 American stock god Buffett. Japanese stock gods pass on silver treasures.
NO.5 Peter. During Lynch's 13 years as the fund manager of Magellan Fund in Peter Lynch, the assets managed by Magellan Fund grew from $2 million to $14 billion, with more than 1 million fund investors, becoming Fidelity's flagship fund, with an average annual compound interest rate of 29.2%.
NO.6 Julian. Robertson. Everyone should be familiar with this. The founder of Tiger Fund in the last century was the largest hedge fund at that time, and quantum funds were inferior in front of it. Excellent record. Later, due to investment mistakes in risk management and other aspects, huge losses were forced to liquidate.
NO.7 John. Paulson, a billionaire, was the biggest winner in the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States. He made a profit by shorting in the 28 financial crisis, so he was called "Wall Street Empty God".
I will focus on Jesse Livermore. Why put him first. Because the likes of Soros are hardly comparable to those of Jesse Livermore.
Wealth: Jesse Livermore went bankrupt in 1914, but in 1929, he earned $1 million (the US tax revenue was only 4.2 billion in that year)
Theory: the idea of breaking through new heights and gradually adding positions, etc. all originated from his book
Memoirs of a Stock Hander, which is almost 1 years old, and it is still the first classic book in the stock market.
Morgan, a big banker, personally asked him to stop short selling.
American President Roosevelt asked him to go to the White House and ask him to close the cotton futures to save the country.
Besides, Jesse Livermore committed suicide in his 6s, and his wealth was accumulated in more than ten years. Buffett and Soros have been struggling for more than half a century. Moreover, Soros and others use funds to make money and investors' money to make money. Jesse Livermore is a real self-made, a lone wolf. With Ming Rui's insight. Fight alone. There are no battles.
