I implied nothing of the sort. Yeah, it was moronic to invest in Matador, but little was made of his short vol program. He was "always in" with the short puts. He always rolled into a new series. This was not mentioned in the DD. AUM would've been much, much less had it been made clear that the...

You implied that individual investors were not invested in the train wreck. My brother was invested in Matador via Octane.

I am not surprised that you're confused. You're at his teat 24/7 and you didn't know? Octane funded him with 150 or so.

Neither (word) is Spanish, ancient or otherwise. I had to necro this thread to.... lol.

Recall that VN threatened Baron with litigation when Pabst reported (promptly deleted) the 2007 blowup, only for the WSJ to report it weeks later. The six buck par-put fiasco.

Can you show us a backtest of your method? Just the perf output, not the inputs. This stuff would be very difficult to test.

You may be affable and all, but you're not very bright.. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=105338&page=22

Ya, McGoldrick left GS because he netted "only" $85MM on a similar figure. Levin wasn't a partner (didn't buy in). FIG paid Levinson $350MM in stock and it wasn't directly related to performance (retention award). Levin's pay in somewhere between those extremes.

He shorts otm index puts. There is nothing special nor magical about it. The difference between Vic and Karen the vol-seller is that she has made money at it. Pretty pathetic considering the clash in background.

"Master speculator" is now a euphemism for blowup artist? Does knowing Vic make any difference?

Did you attend a university? Dao is anglicized and an acceptable usage. Do not cast dispersions!

No, I do not have a Veyron. It was sarcasm. I fail to see why you posted a pic of some public area overlooking the beach in PB. Also curious as to why you can't correctly format the pic.

I take 4mg astaxanthin (b.i.d.) during the Summer months as I am at 6k elevation and we have >250 days of sunshine. 4mg daily the rest of the year.

I was in Napa with family this week, so lmk what you guys would like to discuss. Here's the new SS bar that arrived on Friday. 3xx grade SS and perfect welds. The center knurl (IWF required now) is like butter. The oly and PL knurling is light (but deeper than the center), but not so much so...

Surf, you are unemployed and nearing 50... why don't you offer some advice to those mentioned in the article.

Spit*nagel.

Oh rly, I am hurt. I've got spastic emails emanating from his blackberry (one specific email from NNT in Florence). He's lucky I don't post those. I didn't post anything relevant as the email addy is long dead. Ask him about his time at Paloma if you talk to him. I am going to go polish my Veyron.

Or house-husband in your case.

I know Vic cleared Newedge at some point from the Fimat days and my broker hasn't heard anything. Anyway, he was going long yesterday, so I doubt he's blown-up on this recent move: https://twitter.com/VicNiederhoffer

Vic is "profturf" on ET.
