Jesse Lauriston Livermore was born in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts (с) proof link I got this document, which includes a true copy of JL birth record | witness the seal of the town of Shrewsbury Ursobovo ( talk) 14:26, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
I followed a couple of the PDF links under books. Some appear to be complete copies of works copyrighted as recently as 2004! For example, "2004 – Trade Like Jesse Livermore by Richard Smitten". Is this legal? M. Edward (Ed) Borasky aka znmeb ( talk) 20:37, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
rewrote most of the article because there were too many inaccuracies/casual tone/irrelevant details/lack of important facts. I didn't link everything and didn't recheck everything, but I hope you guys find it to be improved from previous versions.
It is great to see that someone is making grammar checks. But I noticed they have been changing the words and meaning within the "referenced" sentences.
Please note, references are taken directly from the books and other reliable sources. Therefore, this is manipulating the content. And does provide a miss leading direction from the original source.
It may be better to just verify that the references are correct and accurate.
What does how he died have to do with how he lived? Removing "His book How to Trade Stocks was published in 1940, the same year he committed suicide." until you explain the circumstances surrounding his death. GT
You already mentioned what year he dies 1940. What about the other books that he wrote or contributed to. What is the significance of what year they were published?
What does how he dies have to do with his contributions?
What are the details of his birth?
Why not post the final eight-page letter to his wife, or the obituary from the New York Times. What is the point of laboring the final moments of a man (suffering from dementia) who lived like a king? GT
It is not strictly true that Jesse Livermore made all of his fortunes from short selling. There were many times when he was long of the Markets and accumulated substantial amounts in being so. These facts are available in the book that he wrote. Carlos Von Plonker 17:24, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Image:JesseLivermoreBookcover.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
