A Miniballer Recommends: Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

Jesse had flair and a dedication to his craft. This quote sums him up. [our emphasis added]

The moment I got to Palm Beach and saw what the misguided insiders were still trying to do, I let them have a second lot of TT. Back came the report and I sold another 2,000 shares. The market behaved excellently. That is, it declined on my selling. Everything being satisfactory I went out and had a chair ride. But I wasn’t happy. The more I thought the unhappier it made me to think that I hadn’t sold more. So back I went to the broker’s office and sold another 2,000 shares.
I was happy only when I was selling that stock. Presently I was short 10,000 shares. Then I decided to return to New York. I had business to do now. My fishing I would do some other time.
