This is how the big money is made nowadays.
Maybe 80-100 years ago, during Livermore's time, trading was the wild west, the new frontier. That is no longer the case. People who genuinely want to make it rich would be better off learning how to code and churn out apps. Maybe you will strike the jackpot, maybe you won't. But sure beats the chances of becoming the next Steve Cohen.
Wasnt Oil the wild west back then. I think Rockerfeller was worth around $400 billion in today's dollars.
Livermore was probably worth 1% of that.
