My favorite of the authors, a peron who knew more about markets and its operators let me learn from him..

Simonetta and Making of a stockbroker are not publicly available, so let me review the important points if any from the available net..

Making of a Stock broker

First published in 1924, this book is dedicated to John Wing Prentiss, a new breed of stockbroker of that era. This fictionalized version of the other side of Wall Street covers the story of a brokerage firm from its founding through 1924 and shows how the stockbroker works from the inside and what he did to make millions without whitewashing and propaganda. This is a good teacher in a personal form where you learn a lot more about human nature and business after the age of the buccaneer but still before the great depression and security regulations which followed. 340 pages.

The book don't has market strategies, but this biography of a stockbroker can help us to understand a bit of the market's psicology and how the brokers see the trader's behaviour. Althought it had been written seventy five years ago, the people that work in the market today seems to react in the same manner that the old ones. It's a agreeable reading, but not recommended to people that look for market strategies similar to those found in Livingston's Reminiscences.

Simonetta (1919)

A delightful romantic comedy about an American Stock Broker and a beautiful Italian Woman.
