杰西·劳伦斯顿·利弗莫尔 Jesse Lauriston Livermore

Jesse Lauriston Livermore (July 26, 1877 – November 28, 1940) was an American stock trader. He is considered a pioneer of day trading and was the basis for the main character of Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, a best-selling book by Edwin Lefèvre. At one time, Livermore was one of the richest people in the world; however, at the time of his suicide, he had liabilities greater than his assets.

In a time when accurate financial statements were rarely published, getting current stock quotes required a large operation, and market manipulation was rampant, Livermore used what is now known as technical analysis as the basis for his trades. His principles, including the effects of emotion on trading, continue to be studied.

Some of Livermore’s trades, such as taking short positions before the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and just before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, are legendary within investing circles. Some observers have regarded Livermore as the greatest trader who ever lived, but others have regarded his legacy as a cautionary tale about the risks of leverage to seek large gains rather than a strategy focused on smaller yet more consistent returns.

杰西·利弗莫尔全名叫杰西·劳伦斯顿·利弗莫尔 （Jesse Lauriston Livermore，1877年7月26日 [2] -1940年11月28日），是一位美国的股票投资家。 利弗莫尔被认为是日交易的先驱人物，  亦是埃德温·利非弗（Edwin Lefèvre）的畅销书《股票大作手回忆录（Reminiscences of a Stock Operator）》中的主要人物。利弗莫尔曾经是世界上最富有的人之一，后因感情问题患上抑郁症自杀。
在利弗莫尔生活的年代，上市公司很少披露准确的财务报表，连了解当前的股票报价都需要花很多功夫，市场上的各种操作极为猖獗。利弗莫尔交易股票的基础在今天被称之为“技术分析（technical analysis）”，他的交易原则，如交易情绪的影响（effects of emotion on trading）等，都被后人反复研究。
利弗莫尔的一些大手笔，例如他在1907年的旧金山地震和1929年的华尔街黑色星期四之前的做空等，都是极具传奇色彩的交易，也使他成为有史以来最伟大的投资者之一。
