Average Quote by Jesse Lauriston Livermore

“The average man doesn't wish to be told that it is a bull or a bear market. What he desires is to be told specifically which particular stock to buy or sell. He wants to get something for nothing. He does not wish to work. He doesn't even wish to have to think.” quote by Jesse Lauriston Livermore — Download Open image
