I wonder if Taleb's new Black Swan book has anything substantively new?

Sounds like the Black Swan never hit.

Are you saying that his fund "collapsed" for lack of a better word?

t-man, no offense but if you have read and understood Taleb then you know his fund *can-not* collapse

He also explains why in this interview

Actually, he could have faced his own black swan - that there were no black swans since 911.

I guess, he had a cut off point after which he pulled the plug.
