Ok, I got it now Niederhoffer lost 28.57% in May. My guess is it is much worse this month, unless he went on vacation. Ouch.:eek:

Where did you get this info?

Sounds like he is blowing up again. Even if he doesn't lose 100%, why stay in business when you have a high water mark and have to make 40% before you get your performance fees?

I used to see his performance thru the Barclay's Managed Funds Report. If you notice, they have a link to that on the site. Essentially, a subscription service.
