I was shocked to see how much detail about his private life surfaced in that article and feel bad for some of the people involved. If I were them, I'm not sure I would be enthralled by my personal life being splattered across the media... I wonder if this is something VN allowed the reporter to post or whether the latter took it upon himself to lay it all out.

"18. Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder is simply a question of subdivision; concealing courage under a show of timidity presupposes a fund of latent energy; masking strength with weakness is to be effected by tactical dispositions."

My apology, surf. I thought the end result of this legacy is repeated failure at a known failed technique.
Not interested in squash, literary or artistic achievements... what exactly has VN accomplished to this moment in time? How can we summarize what VN has accomplished mark-to-market, not cherry-picked from peak moments in history?

Really? He did that? I suppose that when you decide to turbocharge your engine, steering and proper handling takes on new importance. Perhaps VN should not have been preening in the rearview mirror at the curve.
Multitasking. We do it on the trading floor all the time. It's a wonderful thing.
Yee haw SPX volatility trade.
Ah...the ol' Texas Hedge.
Do you have go to Harvard for that?

Was just at the Daily Speculation Neiderhoffer website. You have to "apply" to be able to post there. Apparently you also need to be a complete asshole who is willing to advertise it. One of the toughest things about money is the ease with one can lose ones sensiblities.... see below.... btw should we know who the self important Roger Arnold is?

I just got back from my gym, in the Washington D.C. suburbs. It is premium priced to dissuade the riffraff from joining. And the concept worked for a long time. Families could go and not worry about their wives or daughters being propositioned. The facilities were clean and the members always considerate of each other.
Recently the owners signed a contract with the federal government. Now, we have federal government employees at the gym, with their membership dues being paid for by tax dollars.
They have a sense of entitlement and no recognition of the costs associated with running the facility. They take four or five towels when one or two will suffice. And they all do it.
The locker rooms are filthy now and the staff has given up on attempting to get these people to act responsibly.
Their hygiene habits are disgusting. There was a woman in the hotub a few days ago wearing her underwear and was indignant when told she had to leave because it was a code violation.
This evening I was in the dry sauna and looked over at a woman using some kind of puff-pad to exfoliate her entire body. When finished contaminating the area she just walked out.
None of them shower before entering the pool area even though there is a very large sign stating such is required that they can't miss. And the staff don't bother even trying to enforce it.
Needless to say, the paying members are all leaving for other exclusive facilities so they don't have to deal with the riffraff.

A person with integrity is not perfect, but takes responsibility for his mistakes and treats others--especially family and friends--with dignity. He demands of himself what he demands of others, and practices what he preaches. He speaks the truth, even if that truth is uncomfortable.
The loss of money pales in comparison with the loss of reputation. A sad, sad story.
