Dmitry was the top schonfeld trader throughout the bull run and then made even more on the way down. Right before the market turned cranky he pulled all of his chips off of the daytrading table and started a hedge fund of funds.
He has made more $$$$ than anyone I have ever heard of and is uncanny at making calls on volatility.
I use to hear it every week how good Dave Nassar was at trading straight from his mouth or from his cronies. However I could never figure when he did all of this trading. I sat in a room across from his but never saw him trade or any of his real results from trading.
Actually I still hear about Manning too. He is still putting up the big numbers on big volume, but nothing like that guy from schonfeld did that was mentioned in one of the earlier posts.
