The name E Prado means nothing to you Surf?

You must not be a racing fan.

He rode Barbaro to victory in last years Derby!

Congrats Pabst.

Ya got me. I am really Edgar Prado. After dominating Maryland racing for yrs I finally made it to the big leagues. Posting here on ET. When I am not riding at Belmont this spring I trade futures.

Quote from EPrado:

Sure.

Lets see. I have been trading since 1992. Started out in equities for a prop firm. Over the years I have traded for both hedge funds and prop firms, even had a stint when I was younger on an institutional desk. Have been on the commodities/futures side now for the last 7 yrs.


Do keep posting though. I enjoy your cute little stories about going to your posh store openings and high class parties.


just wanted to clarify-- i don't trade for any fund.

2nd--my comments were directed at and a reaction to your personal attacks. nothing to do with you, your trading, your horse, or whatever.

3rd. congratulation on the VICTORY.

regards,

surf

My bad then. I was under the impression you were some sort of fund manager.

You stated your love for VN which is fine. I stated my opinion of the guy. I think he comes across an an egotistical prick. Thats all. Personally, I am not impressed by a guy who blows out so bad he has to liquidate everything he has. Then whines and cries about it over and over.
 
Quote from dogman:

what a bizarre statement. please elaborate.

Those with the same discipline, stamina and intellect will critique VN’s work, skills, etc. based on a solid ground of knowledge of the inner workings of Niederhoffer. Those who are unconstructively criticizing him and making judgment calls on his character are likely ones who do not come from the same education.
 
Quote from smilingsynic:

I have a Ph.D., but one does not need a Ph.D. to know that risk is one subject Dr, Vic tends to neglect both in his books and in his trading.

This is not passing judgment. It is an assessment that applies at one or another to each of us.

There’s a huge difference between constructively and unconstructively criticizing him. My post was in reference to those who are calling him an idiot and talking about his personal life.

No more bizarre than posing as a woman....:p

I wonder if Marketsurfer cross dresses when he is posting "as Annaland". Who knows, maybe he enjoys typing in heels and a nice strapless sundress. A little strange for my taste but hey the guy's from New York....enough said?

Steve

Steve, fwiw, not that Surf needs me defending him, but I assure you, Anna is very real. I met her in NY. And I have to say, she is quite a number. Smokin....:)

She's far too articulate to be a Surfer alias. :p
