Edwin Lefèvre

Edwin Lefèvre (1871–1943) was an American journalist, novelist and stockbroker who wrote mostly about Wall Street. Born in Colón, in what is now Panama, he trained as a mining engineer at Lehigh University, turned to journalism at 19, worked as a broker and was financial writer for the New York Sun, and later served as Panama's ambassador to Spain and Italy. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, a lightly fictionalized account of trader Jesse Livermore, first ran in The Saturday Evening Post.
