There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.

Stranded swan sounds right for these returns: 2000: 58.88% 2001: -8.39% (according to Bloomberg, this is the year money “flocked” to the fund so most of the investors may have ended up net negative if Bloomberg is accurate); 2002: -13.38%

You are flailing, and this is a waste of time, since you don't seem to want to address the issues of this thread.

You obviously don't want to respond to the substance of this thread, so you are trying to create a distraction from the real topic.

He who represents himself has a fool for a client. You claim to represent Taleb. Instead, you put forth distractions and nonsense to avoid the original issue or any of the issues raised by others who posted in this thread. I believe the title of this thread and the first article are...

I guess you anonymously represent the interests of others. But no one should back down from being skeptical and asking due diligence questions in the face of hype. The title and the beginning post of this thread were pure hype. So, if I, say "prove it," regarding these and previous...

Taleb's tragedy is that he seems discontented with what success he has achieved and has need to claim he's on the level of a John Paulson--but he is not. The constant PR puffery seems delusional. I wish I could find it funny, but I pity the guy. <object width="425" height="344"><param...

I picked up the previous video from Brett Steenbarger's blog: http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/ Good stuff, I highly recommend it. His web site is Trading Psychology: http://www.brettsteenbarger.com/ Hope you sort things out.

This is what she actually said: By Yvette Kantrow - TheDeal.com Picture this: Citigroup's Vikram Pandit (or Bank of America's Ken Lewis or Wells Fargo's John Stumpf) decides that the question-and-answer session at his annual meeting will be handled differently this year. Instead of...

Another good point. Great post.

Trader666, I get your meaning now. For some reason I kept addressing whether or not he bought put options. My initial post was in error. You are correct. Thanks for the correction.
