Jesse Now~ Livermore Lessons, not Ventura Ventures
Of the loss, Sir Isaac Newton, whose father died three months before Isaac’s birth, the brightest man in the world, co-inventor of Calculus, is said to have commented:
I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.
John Maynard Keynes, who purchased and studied Sir Issac’s alchemical manuscripts, as Bill Gates purchased da Vinci’s Codex, described Newton as the last of the Magicians.

Unlike Galileo, although Newton’s library had at least four Astrological works, he reportedly had minimal interest in publishing astrology, although he did privately predict the Apocalypse as coming sometime after 2060 AD.

Inspired by Mackay’s Extraordinary book and tutored by many market mistakes, Jesse Livermore made notable observations and trading rules that made him fortunes.
They may still be valid today, because human nature changed so little over the last 10,000 years.
