A ridiculous and perfect example of a "Non Sequitur". The article was poorly written. The upshot then of the author regarding the Sept 11th attacks with did severely hurt the performance of Victor Niederhoffer's funds is to not build tall buildings at all... since the black swan event of a...

I found the referenced New Yorker article to be unfairly biased against Victor Niederhoffer, and I took mild offense to it. I am familiar with the article and so do knowingly object to its inferences. If you base your trading entirely on the notion of black swans, you will fail. As Nassim...

Quite possibly...:) And FYI, Victor is making very good money currently...

You are too funny. :D

Dear Gabfly, I am not sure how to answer your last post. You have Vic all wrong, and I am not sure what amount of evidence you may need to change your mind. I am very close to Victor, and he is not guilty "gaming the system". He acted with the highest level of moral integrity and with the...

Dear Gabfly, I can assure you the past, present, and future partners involved with Vic had no issues whatsoever with funds or such psychological issues. However, I do sense in you more than a scintilla of sardonic and yet at times acrimonious content. That is based on your previous posts...

Dear psyclesurfer, Your words hold veracity and I do appreciate the tenor of your message. I believe that Victor is a gentleman who does not give up nor does he give in. Don't be surprised to see him finish the horserace in a gallop. I liked your message, as there was no iota of words that...

Dear Esq Esq Esq, With all the respect I can muster, I must take reasonable issue with your premise that the amount of taxes owed does not signify much income. Even though I am completely confident that the State of Connecticut has made an error, and believe me the state does make its share...

My dear Anaconda, Thank you for your question. You could say that I do have money invested with him. That would not be an incongruous statement. Such rich questions that if properly validated or refuted give information of a fruitful nature. Have an insightful weekend.

Dear Chuck, First, I am only am able to admire Victor Niederhoffer from afar. The suggestion that I am he is quite flattering, but I can only approach, not reach, greatness. Comparing myself to him is like comparing a three year old who holds his first nerf football to the likes of a Terry...

Ivanovich, thank you in earnest for responding. Have a wonderful three day weekend! And also to all my new friends on this website, have a safe and restful President's Day. I encourage you to study the price changes today and yesterday on the /ES on all relevant intervals. Reminds one of the...

tim, thanks for your question. I believe that Victor did exercise all proper risk metrics after the cabal collectively and deliberately withheld precious monies that were promised. In 1997, had even one trading day been permitted the more, there would not have been any blowup. Also, the...

Gabfly1, I sincerely believe that your bitter animosity towards Victor is misguided and misplaced. I feel that you too inside are a friend and a gentle spirit. If you seek to find truth in Victor's wisdom, you can only benefit in your walk throughout this life. You may learn to love Victor as...

My friends, now that we have unequivocally determined that I am not some previously banned client, nor Victor himself, nor "marketsurfer", we can commence the pursuit of what make elitetrader.com one of the most valuable sites assisting traders become better. Sharing information... I ask in...

Friends, I assure you that I am not "surfer" or any other banned user in the past. I believe that the moderator perhaps was given incorrect information. I spoke just now on the telephone to Elite Trader, and a very kind gentleman reactivated my account after acertaining that I am not indeed...

I read the previous posts feeling the notion of unmitigated effrontery. Although I am not at all upset, I question those who believe I would have the temerity to suggest that I am someone I am not. I am sanguine that posters are writing only in jest, not in earnest. I entered the posting...

It appears people born with the constitution of a speculator may find it impossible to extirpate the unquenchable need "for action". I often too find my blowups occurred not as a function and derivative of my algorithms, but rather of my ego's desires. Maybe what some in this thread exhorted...

I confess I must applaud this thread. It was most entertaining, so I must thank those that participated. I now am not so sure what to think. I knew him at the University of Chicago and thus at the reunions. I agree with most that he has an ego the size of Jupiter. Upon meeting him, you know...

He attended the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business after his BA at Harvard. And that is where I know him from and respect him from. He has a gigantic ego, but he is highly intelligent, and his methodology is how we can all learn from him. He is scientific in nature, and I...
