Will he catch the "I am the invincible Niederhoffer" hubris disease and blow up again?

Not really slamming him, but investors may be taking a chance. If it happened once...

Unlikely in the near term. No doubt his blow up has had a profound influence. Perhaps if he's still going in 10 years with phenomenal results. But for now, I would think he can keep it in check.

Does he accept new money ?
Minimum ?
What fees he charges ?

As of early 05 Victor was still accept new investments, I believe the minimum is $250k or so, and the management fee, if I remember correctly from the presentation, was 2.5/20.

Quote from bolter:

Is that Victor or his little brother (Roy)?
More...

Matador is Victor's fund. Roy's fund (RG Niederhoffer) didn't do nearly as well in '05. It is interesting that Matador is almost bigger than Roy's fund these days.

yes, in da past he was sellin' puts on indexes/futs; maybe calls also...not sure now tho, but his main strategy is and always has been sellin naked, so it is always exposed to black swan events that took him out already a couple of times.
don't like his strategy at all; a tickin time bomb.
