Dear Ms. Visaria, I cannot even begin to respond to your drivel. I will only embrace you and send you kindness. You are horribly mislead. Nassim would never be pejorative to Victor. He has too much respect for that. He once told me that Victor is the smartest person that he has ever met...

Dear Proximo, I confess that I am confused. I believe with all my heart that I have very little ego which can be measured. I maintain that anybody with a large ego will blow out their account. In fact, I argue that a person's ego is inversely proportional to their trading performance. In...

Visaria, First, you wrote the sentence "No, but i certainty believe you may be." Taleb's quote, "missed just a modicum of methodolgy" is not the same as his indicating that Victor has "no method" as you exhorted. Are you even aware of the definition of the word "modicum"? Please think...

Dear EPrado, The Matador Fund did not go down 100%. Please get your facts straight. Multitudes of investors still ended with a net credit after their investments at Matador depending on their involvement and duration. And the last painful performance in the last difficult period were...

Dear Visaria, With all due respect, are you under the influence of a mind altering substance? Nassim never said Victor lacks method. Link please?

It appears that the returns varied from over 100% to one account multiplied 22 times. All these was done with a very low standard deviation of returns. The capture ratio and the "Up percentage ratio" were decidedly impressive.

Pekelo, I honestly do not know what to make of you. You do have a gentle wicked sense of humor, and that is something I appreciate deeply. Admittedly, do not confuse being "well read" with a grandiloquent arrogant way of writing. I am a rather humble person. It is my regular way to...

Dear Wayne, If you knew Victor's fund performance at the end of this past year, you will cut your right arm off and give him your daughter for the opportunity to invest in his fund. Did you know that at many times he multiplied his money thousands of percent in a year, especially after his...

EPrado, All I can do when endeavoring to alleviate your ignorance is to breathe a deep sigh and just smile. I cannot become irritated at you, because I know who you are and what you represent. You must also think the world is flat, "Othello" is only some board game that resembles an ancient...

Dear 1prometheus, Thanks for participating and visiting www.dailyspeculations.com. I hope other traders around the world can share your wisdom in merging brains with the best and brightest traders in the world who visit our instructional website. The website is there for the integration of...

Slapshott, At least you have the sense to know that I am not Victor, but merely a close friend of his. As for others, I do not take kindly to insulting a great man by those who know so little...

TraDaTor, I wish I could respond intelligently to your thread, as I have just returned from a vacation, but alas I cannot. To tell you to close your own ridiculous mouth would be like telling Lindsay Lohan to keep her own mouth shut on New Year's Eve. Just impossible. I ask you to thank the...

EPrado, You clearly have no idea... I wish I could break you...

Bob111, or should I call you "Daffy Duck" as a function of your "daft" and incongruous remark...$2500.00 was not meant to be "big prize" money.

Your attempt at humor is only exceeded by your fatuous and doltish comment.

As a friend who has studied with Victor and explored his trading methodology, I can state without hesitation that you are seriously misled. Summing up the genius that is Victor's science of trading with "selling OTM put options" is like saying Mozart felt his best musical acumen could be summed...

I am not keen to respond to this thread because I detect a scintilla of derision. Victor Niederhoffer is a good friend of mine, and he periodically holds such contests simply as a means of fostering cohesion, alacrity, and good humor. Although, I may add, this contest holds within all the...

Optionpro007, that was a good one. I agree that if any part of him being short was true (and he probably WAS short, perhaps just not 60-70 contracts), then his absence now is very telling. He is either deceased... or in line at the local food pantry and Salvation Army to obtain his food and...

NiN, Incidentally, NiN is one of my favorite rock groups, albeit though I am graying considerably and they are fresh faces for me. I am still endeavoring to appreciate the "hip hop" music, as I grew up in another music generation. I did have to endure wicked suffering though to learn to...
