    Niederhoffer's Matador Fund 2006 Performance

    This brings a question - if a HF manager lied about performance to keep his investors from pulling money or to keep them investing new money, and/or new investors gave money based on this lie - would this constitute securities fraud or fiduciary irresponsibility? Legitimate question but it...

    Did I get screwed by IB today ?

    Hmmm...Read The French Menu?...Read The Foreign Magazine?.... :p I sympathize with anybody truly having problems, but cummon - let's stop the "IB Stole My Money" type threads. A simple "Question about execution using TWS", or the like title would be better. IB isn't out to "get" our...

    Just Wondering ET, Why the Anonymity?

    And on a related note, you've seen the guy that runs "Life Lock?" He puts his real (he says) SS# on billboards and ads and dares anybody to steal his ident. Seems scary to me. If they also had his DL#, Mother's maiden and place and DOB couldn't they still get him? Wonder if that service is...

    Just Wondering ET, Why the Anonymity?

    Yeah, right. As if someone would really name a kid "Steve Tvardek". Just f*ckin' with you! My name ain't "Max Power" either. But it would be cool to be named "Hugh Johnson"! :D Good trading. :cool:

    Neiderhoffer

    According to the article, that money was mostly his wife's. He signed over his assets to her. She must have been some kind of burned when she found out he was noodling around with Laurel, and when LK had Vic's kid...divorce was right around the corner. Can you say liquidation? But he...

    Did Niederhoffer Lie To Baron?

    What an outrageous pack of lies! The whole Spec List KNOWS this is crappola. We talk to VN every day! We are all so smart and witty. And not a bit pretentious. Did you know that the Laplace transform of the third harmonic of Middle C in the classical diatonic scale, closely matches the...

    Quote from EMRGLOBAL: VIC is nobel, honest and goes out of his way to help people. If this is true, which I highly doubt, then VIC will addrease this issue with the WSJ and the rest. "I have corresponded with reps from Manchester Trading and Matador, including Victor Niederhoffer...

    OMG Timmay is now writing for Realmoney.com...

    The Street was running a "Do you want to write for Real Money?" promotion. They must be trying ol' Tim out. RM/TSCM is mostly for entertainment only. Let's not forget they have "Dude!-That telecom stock is reely jumpin'! - Cody Willard" and Cramer's, uhm, "strange" nephew writing for them...

    IB Security Device

    I'm sure of it! Tell us what you can if you get a chance. I've never been able to find out much about these things (duh! they're supposed to be "secure") Dug around Wikipedia: Time-synchronized one-time passwords A time-synchronized one-time password change constantly at a set time...

    IB Security Device

    This is how I have heard they work: 1. The device is "seeded" with a unique number based on your account. 2. It calculates new codes every 30 seconds. A computer at the login site is also calculating new codes. 3. I don't have one of these, but I would suspect that a "range" of...

    IB Security Device

    That sounds like the device that Ebay/Paypal uses. With that one, you simply push the button and it shows a number. You type that number into the web page. These device are "synchronised" with the computer at Paypal (and keyed by account). The IB device, at least the one I have, requires...
