One of Livermore's most famous investments was his short sale of Union Pacific Railroad stock. At the time, Union Pacific was one of the largest and most profitable companies in the United States, and its stock price was rising steadily.
Livermore, however, believed that the stock was overvalued and due for a fall. So, he sold a large number of shares "short," meaning that he borrowed the shares from someone else and sold them, hoping to buy them back later at a lower price and make a profit.
Livermore's bet paid off when the stock market experienced a sudden downturn, causing Union Pacific's stock price to plummet. Livermore was able to buy back the shares he had sold short at a much lower price, pocketing a large profit in the process.
Livermore went on to have many more successful investments and became known as one of the greatest speculators of his time. However, he also had many setbacks and eventually lost much of his fortune.
Despite the ups and downs of his career, Jesse Livermore's story remains a fascinating example of the power of investing and the risks and rewards that come with it.

리버모어의 가장 유명한 투자 중 하나는 유니언 퍼시픽 철도 주식의 공매도였다. 당시 유니언 퍼시픽은 미국에서 가장 크고 수익성이 높은 회사 중 하나였으며, 주가는 꾸준히 상승하고 있었다.

그러나 리버모어는 주가가 과대평가되어 하락할 것이라고 믿었다. 그래서 주식을 대량으로 '공매도'했는데, 공매도는 다른 사람에게 주식을 빌려 현재 가격에 매도하고 나중에 주식이 떨어지면 싼 가격에 주식을 사서 그 차액만큼 돈을 버는 것을 의미한다.

리버모어의 베팅은 주식 시장이 갑자기 침체되어 유니언 퍼시픽의 주가가 폭락했을 때 성과를 거두었다. 리버모어는 그가 공매도한 주식을 훨씬 낮은 가격에 다시 살 수 있었고, 그 과정에서 큰 이익을 챙겼다.

리버모어는 더 많은 성공적인 투자를 통해 그의 시대의 가장 위대한 투기꾼들 중 한 명으로 알려지게 되었다. 하지만, 그는 또한 많은 좌절을 겪었고 결국 그의 재산의 많은 부분을 잃었습니다.

그의 경력의 기복에도 불구하고, 제시 리버모어의 이야기는 투자의 힘과 그에 따른 위험과 보상에 대한 매혹적인 예로 남아 있다.
