[psytrade]

Why does he refer to the Black Swan wine as ( not my favorite )? - Prologue

Must have tasted real bad.

I hear Taleb's getting sued because Al Sharpton wants the title changed to African American Swan.

Hypothetically speaking, if Victor Niederhoffer joined ET, my guess is that his handle would be "basis." Just a wild notion, of course.

I wish. I'd love to have his problems.

Make him an offer. Perhaps you can time share.

Quote from basis:

Wtf are you talking about? A trader's trader? The guy is a windbag now. Markets "bore" him, and he gets pissed when people talk to him about them. He's very smart and very interesting, but he's decided he's a philosopher.

Niederhoffer has achieved organic growth like maybe no one in history. Do you have any idea how much he manages? How much of it is his own?

Seriously, you couldn't be more wrong. Where do you get this stuff?

Niederhoffer's a scam. Period.

Vic is on ET, although he's not been active in quite a while.

Maybe Christian Bale can play Neiderhoffer after his next blow up.
