About this book
A boy posting prices in a brokerage office begins to see patterns in the changing numbers. Edwin Lefevre's first person account follows a market operator whose early interest in arithmetic becomes a method of watching stocks, recording predictions and testing them against the ticker tape. His first small trade grows out of a notebook entry and a conversation with another office boy, giving the opening a concrete sense of how speculation becomes a daily occupation.
The account also examines the distance between knowing a rule and following it. A cotton position prompts reflections on stubbornness, persuasive advice and the pressure to recover money. The narrator's conversational voice makes market decisions personal, linking figures on a board with confidence, judgment and costly mistakes.
