Looks like Victor Niederhoffer blew up again

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

Folks are jealous of VNs accomplishments in and out of the market. Yeah, the guy isn't perfect and has his demons ( an out of control competitive spirit, an incredible need to be number 1) but when managed , these are the very traits needed to win consistently in the markets. When not properly managed, the traits can be dangerous. VN is the kingpin of all living speculators --- like him or hate him.

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.
 
I am sorry but that makes no difference when a person makes themselves a public figure.
He has a self promotional book and done interviews.

When surf comes here and claims VN's one of the best traders or speculators ever,
What do you want people who take words seriously to do.
Sit back and say yeah blowing up customers funds multiple times is the dna of a great trader?

I have nothing against VN... he seems like a good guy with a gambling problem.
Maybe surf should cut out the hype.
