Summary "The Tipster" by Edwin Lefevre is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the world of stock trading and speculation, focusing on the experiences of its protagonist, Gilmartin, as he navigates the ups and downs of Wall Street. It delves into themes of ambition, luck, and the consequences of gambling on financial markets. The story follows Gilmartin, an ambitious man who leaves a stable job in the drug industry to pursue fortune in the stock market. Initially filled with hope and enthusiasm, he soon finds himself caught in the exhilarating yet treacherous world of trading. After experiencing a drastic financial downturn, Gilmartin attempts to regain his lost wealth through risky speculation and eventually becomes a "tipster," offering advice to others based on inside information. However, his return to fortune is short-lived, leading to further losses and a deep sense of loneliness. The narrative illustrates Gilmartin's relentless pursuit of wealth and ultimately highlights the pitfalls of greed and the volatile nature of the stock market.
