Famous Traders and Investors, what to think of them

I've been watching some videos about traders, recently.
 
Jesse Livermore - had success, but was clearly some gambling issues - a trader
Paul Tudor Jones II - is originally a trader

Any other famous traders?

i think most super successful ones are the ones that say quiet and enjoy their success without the fame

It’s true; even their lifestyle is quite diffident than the general people.

Famous Traders and Investors inspire me in trading. I study their success and achievement. I give me encourage to learn and continue trading.

Don’t you think it’s all about knowledge and skill? Does lifestyle matter?

Famous traders and investors serve as role models for people and might even attract more and more people into trading. They have influence and people often tend to look up to them.

I thing none of them is following general trading rules.
They have they own mindset which is unique and profitable.

Every trader should gather proper knowledge before investing their money in this risky and volatile market.

George Soros, Richard Dennis, Paul Tudor Jones.

Watching these successful traders, I think they are a great source of motivation for us all.
If they can, why can't we :)

I think the traders who are the most successful often stay quiet and enjoy their success.

When I see the mention of a successful trader, I immediately think of three words.
1. Inventiveness.
2. Efficiency.
3. Money!

Every trader must first gain trading knowledge. It is not possible to gain profit without trading knowledge. So you have to gain knowledge from different successful traders.

The most successful traders stay quiet and enjoy their success alone.

Mario Gabellio, John Neff, Larry Tisch, Marty Whitman, David Dreman, Jim Rogers and Michael Steinhardt are investors to look up to. Also Benjamin Graham, who was Warren Buffet's mentor.
These people are indeed very inspiring, we can learn a lot from their stories.
If you like getting inspiration from other successful traders and investors, Jack Schwager's Market Wizards books might be a good read for you.

Any investor or trader who has 8-10% profit per month for me is an example of a person who knows how to make money.

The best is to look at these people and try to adopt some strategies they used and work on your own trades.

Some of them are quite inspiring while others are just doing what they do best. It is all a personal choice if someone wants to really follow them and their trading style.
