Stock Market Operators

Little is known about Redmond, except that he is the author of these descriptions of great American market operators, financiers, and industrialists of the 50 years leading up to 1924 when this book was first published. The individual profiles were originally written for separate magazine articles and also appeared in an earlier book, Financial Greats of America . Those covered include the great American speculator James Robert Keene (otherwise known as The Silver Fox ) and Jesse Lauriston Livermore, aka The Boy Plunger. Annotation c.
