Buffett Begged to Work For Him - Ben Graham .The world's original value investor.

Benjamin Graham lost nearly 70% of his investors' money in the 1929 crash — then rebuilt to return 20% annually for two decades. Graham co-founded Graham-Newman Corporation in 1926, published Security Analysis in 1934, and bought 50% of GEICO for $712,000 in 1948. Warren Buffett tracked him down personally in 1951 and was hired as an analyst for $12,000 a year in May 1954. The man who invented value investing spent his final years telling ordinary people to skip stock picking entirely and buy index funds. 🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.

The SEC Had The Evidence& Ignored It For 9 Years. - Madoff Chapter 2

Harry Markopolos figured out Madoff's fraud in four hours — then spent nine years being ignored by the SEC. In November 2005 he submitted a 21-page memo naming 29 red flags, and the SEC still closed the case without verifying a single trade. It took Lehman Brothers collapsing in September 2008 to drain Madoff's cash and force the confession. When FBI agents arrived on December 11, 2008, Madoff greeted them in his bathrobe and said: 'There is no innocent explanation.' 🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.SLEEPY STOCK MARKETFall asleep to the greatest stories in financial history. #BernieMadoff #PonziScheme #WallStreetScandal #HarryMarkopolos #FinancialFraud #SECFailure #TrueFinance #FinancialHistory

Madoff -The NASDAQ Chairman Who Built a £60B Ponzi - Chapter 1

In 1960, Bernie Madoff started a brokerage with $5,000 from lifeguarding — by 1999 his fake books showed $7.1 billion under management. He served as NASDAQ Chairman three times while Frank DiPascali fabricated thousands of trades daily on a hidden floor of the Lipstick Building. In 1992, the SEC knocked on the door, Madoff wired $440 million overnight to make them go away, and regulators closed the case with zero charges. This is Chapter 1 of the largest fraud in financial history — before anyone was listening. 🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.SLEEPY STOCK MARKETFall asleep to the greatest stories in financial history. #BernieMadoff #PonziScheme #FinancialFraud #WallStreet #NASDAQ #TrueFinance #FinancialHistory #WhiteCollarCrime #Madoff #InvestmentFraud

He Made $100 Million Then Lost Everything -Jesse Livermore Chapter 2

On October 29, 1929, Jesse Livermore held over one million shares short and made nearly $100 million in a single week — roughly $3 billion today. He had predicted the crash months earlier, secretly placing positions through more than 100 brokers so no one would know. But this wasn't his first fortune, and it wouldn't be his last loss — by 1914 he had already gone bankrupt owing brokers over $1 million, and his creditors voluntarily cancelled his debts just to keep him trading. The Great Bear of Wall Street is one of the most extraordinary — and most tragic — stories in financial history.🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SLEEPY STOCK MARKETFall asleep to the greatest stories in financial history.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━#JesseLivermore #WallStreet #StockMarketCrash #1929Crash #GreatDepression #TradingHistory #FinanceHistory #GreatBear #StockMarket #BlackTuesday

The Boy Plunger - The 14-Year-Old Who Beat Wall Street Jesse Livermore

At fourteen, Jesse Livermore talked his way into a Boston brokerage for six dollars a week — and secretly started beating the house. By sixteen, he had made his first thousand dollars trading in illegal off-exchange gambling dens called bucket shops, using only pattern analysis he had developed in two handwritten notebooks. His first recorded profit was $3.12 on a Burlington stock trade in 1892. He was eventually banned from every bucket shop in Boston by name before he was old enough to vote.🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SLEEPY STOCK MARKETFall asleep to the greatest stories in financial history.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━#JesseLivermore #WallStreetHistory #StockMarket #TradingHistory #FinanceHistory #BoyPlunger #BucketShop #Investing #StockTrader #FinancialHistory
